Kevin Malcuit - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Does not appear versus Spezia Malcuit was an unused sub in Sunday's 3-0 win over Spezia.

Impact Malcuit was one of the few backups that did not get minutes in the season finale. He has played 12 times in 2021/2022, making three starts and tallying one assist, 17 crosses (four accurate), eight tackles and 11 clearances. He will likely head elsewhere in the summer since he is on an expiring contract.

Subs in at half-time against Empoli Malcuit (thigh) had three interceptions, won one tackle and three duels and drew one foul in Sunday's 2-3 loss to Empoli.

Impact Malcuit replaced Alessandro Zanoli at intermission, but he was not great and did not put up numbers. The two could be in contention if Giovanni Di Lorenzo (knee) missed also Saturday's home game against Sassuolo.

Available versus Empoli Malcuit (thigh) has been named in Napoli's squad list to face Empoli Sunday.

Impact Malcuit seemed close to returning last week and is indeed good to go after a few more practices. He could have a rare chance to start since Giovanni Di Lorenzo (knee) will continue to miss time and Alessandro Zanoli is a late call due to an illness. He has posted one assist, two chances, 12 crosses (one accurate) and six clearances in seven appearances (two starts) so far.

Left out of squad Monday Malcuit (thigh) was not included in the match-day squad versus Roma on Monday.

Impact Malcuit has made just 11 appearances for the team this season, including three starts, in which he has generated one assist, three shots (one on target) and 17 crosses (four accurate). Even when fully fit, the defender is more likely to serve as an unused substitute, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Probable for Roma clash Malcuit (thigh) resumed training fully earlier in the week, Napoli announced.

Impact Malcuit is expected to be called up after sitting out one game with muscle fatigue, but he will back up Alessandro Zanoli, who is filling in for Giovanni Di Lorenzo at right-back. The starter should not be out for long, further reducing his chances to see good minutes. He has posted three chances, 17 crosses, seven tackles and six interceptions in 11 matches so far.

APRIL 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Fiorentina match Malcuit will miss Sunday's game versus Fiorentina due to muscle fatigue, Napoli announced.

Impact Malcuit was edged out by Alessandro Zanoli to replace Giovanni Di Lorenzo last week and picked up an ailment during the week. Axel Tuanzebe will likely be the emergency option in case something happens to the starter.

APRIL 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available against Udinese Malcuit (calf) has been called up for Saturday's match versus Udinese.

Impact Malcuit will have his return after four matches on the mend with a calf issue. He will provide depth on each defensive flank. He has appeared just in ten matches so far (three starts), tallying three chances, 17 crosses, seven tackles and eight clearances.

MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up calf injury in Cagliari match Malcuit sent in three inaccurate crosses, won one tackle, drew one foul and subbed off due to a calf problem in Monday's 1-1 draw with Cagliari, Napoli announced.

Impact Malcuit replaced Giovanni Di Lorenzo in the first half, but he was not particularly effective and could not finish the game due to an injury of his own. The starter does not appear to have suffered serious consequences and should be in the XI as usual in Sunday's away match versus Lazio. Instead, Malcuit is headed for further tests and is at risk of missing time.

FEBRUARY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Clears protocol Malcuit has tested negative for COVID-19 and will return to practice Thursday, Napoli informed.

Impact Malcuit had been isolating since early January because of the infection. He will compete with Faouzi Ghoulam until starting left-back Mario Rui returns. He has posted nine crosses, six clearances and two tackles in five matches so far.

JANUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tests positive for COVID-19 Malcuit has returned a positive Coronavirus test, but he was already isolating after the holidays due to a close contact, Napoli announced.

Impact Malcuit got infected while away from the team, and Napoli have had a few of these cases. He would have probably started Thursday against Juventus since Mario Rui is suspended. The next men up in the role are Faouzi Ghoulm and Alessandro Zanoli.

JANUARY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Swings in four crosses in Milan clash Malcuit created one scoring chance, drew two fouls, had five clearances and sent in four crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 win over Milan.

Impact Malcuit drew a rare start with Mario Rui on the mend and had a pretty good display, as it has often been the case when he was called upon. The teammate is not dealing with a major problem and could be available for Wednesday's home game against Spezia.

DECEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Provides assist against Atalanta Malcuit sent in three crosses (one accurate), created one chance, won five duels and picked up an assist in Saturday's 2-3 loss to Atalanta.

Impact Malcuit drew his first start of the season in Serie A as the coach changed the scheme due to the numerous absences and he capitalized on it with a good-looking helper as he sprung Dries Mertens loose with an accurate long-ball. It remains to be seen whether the tactical change will stick, as their regular attackers are not dealing with major injuries. Napoli will host Empoli next Sunday.

DECEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Unused against Inter Malcuit (calf) did not feature in Sunday's 2-3 loss to Inter.

Impact Malcuit returned from a calf injury, but he does not have much of a role. He will see minutes only when the coach decides to rest Giovanni Di Lorenzo, which rarely happens. Napoli will host Lazio Sunday.

NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Available versus Inter Malcuit (calf) has gone into full training Thursday, Napoli announced.

Impact Malcuit will be back in the squad list after missing time with a calf injury, although his role is unlikely to increase moving forward. He has appeared just three times in the season, two of which in Europea League, logging one chance, four crosses, four tackle and three interceptions. He will back up Giovanni Di Lorenzo going forward.

NOVEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss Salernitana match Malcuit (calf) has yet to resume practicing and he will stay out for Sunday's game against Salernitana, Napoli announced.

Impact Malcuit will sit out the fourth Serie A game in a row because of a calf injury and is unlikely to return next week either since he has yet to work on the pitch. Napoli will turn to Juan Jesus and Alessandro Zanoli if they want to rest the starters in the back.

OCTOBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers calf injury Malcuit has been diagnosed with a grade one left-calf pull after hurting himself in practice, Napoli announced.

Impact Malcuit will likely be forced to skip a pair of matches because of the injuries. They will have less depth with him on the mend, but he has featured in just one Serie A game thus far.

OCTOBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Heads back to Napoli Malcuit has returned to Napoli following the loan spell at Fiorentina and might stay in the roster next season.

Impact Malcuit did not play much in his six months at Fiorentina, appearing just five times. Napoli lost Elseid Hysaj on a free transfer at right-back, therefore Malcuit could serve as Giovanni Di Lorenzo's backup next season.
