Juan Jesus - Sent off Saturday Jesus was sent off during Saturday's clash with Genoa.

Impact Jesus was shown a pair of yellow cards and handed his marching orders in the second half. The defender is now set to miss a Feb. 15 clash with Roma, but should be back for a Feb. 22 trip to Atalanta. Jesus' absence could bring Mathias Olivera into the starting XI.

Scott Mctominay - Scores and leaves early versus Genoa McTominay scored one goal to go with five shots (two on target) and one clearance before exiting Saturday's match against Genoa after 45 minutes due to a pair of physical problems,...

Impact McTominay was instrumental in both goals, forcing the opposing goalie into a difficult save with a daisy-cutter, leading to a Rasmus Hojlund tap-in, and then hitting the net with a screamer for distance. On the other hand, he was forced off at the interval, as he turned his ankle early in the contest and picked up a glute issue later on, soldiering through it for a few minutes. He's set for tests to determine his status for next Sunday's clash with Roma. Newcomer Giovane replaced him in this one, with Eljif Elmas moving to the midfield.

Amir Rrahmani - Starting Saturday Rrahmani (thigh) is in the starting XI for Saturday's trip to Genoa.

Impact Rrahmani is back in the starting XI for Saturday's clash, as expected. The defender trained in full throughout the week and is now unsurprisingly right back in the starting XI. He should be a consistent starting option now that he's fit once more.

Vanja Milinkovic-Savic - Probable for Genoa fixture Milinkovic-Savic (thigh) is set to be on the bench Saturday, Radio Marte reported.

Impact Milinkovic-Savic is trending positively after missing three matches because of a thigh injury, but he should be eased into action, considering Alex Meret's strong performance as of late. The two will compete going forward, as the other goalie had missed months with multiple injuries before his recent run.

Amir Rrahmani - Available versus Genoa Rrahmani (thigh) had a clean week of training and will be in contention to start Saturday, Ottopagine reported.

Impact Rrahmani was close for the previous game and didn't experience setbacks.

Rrahmani has scored once and contributed to one celan sheets in his last five appearances, logging seven clearances, four interceptions and three blocks.

He continues to have a major role with David Neres (ankle) and Matteo Politano (thigh) both on the mend and Romelu Lukaku not ready for big minutes. He has notched one or more crosses in the last four games, amassing 11 deliveries (three accurate) and adding one assist, four shots (zero on target) and five key passes over that span.

Miguel Gutierrez - Scores in Fiorentina fixture Gutierrez scored one goal to go with three shots (one on target), three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Fiorentina.

Impact Gutierrez returned to the XI after making way for Mathias Olivera midweek and bagged the decisive goal with a pretty lefty curled shot for his first goal of the season. He has started in three of the last four tilts thanks to Matteo Politano (thigh) and Amir Rrahmani's (thigh) injuries, and Giovanni Di Lorenzo (knee) also went down in this one. Gutierrez has notched multiple crosses in his last five displays, totaling 23 (one accurate) and adding six corners, four shots (one on target) and three key passes over that span.

He has started and taken at least one shot in the last five games, racking up 10 (five accurate) and posting 10 key passes and 12 crosses (five accurate) over that span.

Impact Meret couldn't secure the clean sheet but preserved the result with at least a couple of majestic saves on point-blank attempts. Vanja Milinkovic-Savic (thigh) shouldn't be out for much longer, but Meret won't necessarily go back to being the deputy. He has given up seven goals and made eight saves in the last three matches. Up next, Napoli will face Genoa away Saturday.

Antonio Vergara is proving to be Napoli’s new hero as the team’s injury crisis deepens

JANUARY 31 • Associated Press

Giovanni Di Lorenzo - Feared to have sustained massive injury "Di Lorenzo has probably suffered an ACL tear," coach Antonio Conte announced.

Impact Di Lorenzo will take more exams in the coming days, but the early diagnosis is grim. He'd be sidelined for the rest of the season if it were confirmed. Napoli could opt to search for a replacement in the market.
