Impact Anguissa relieved Antonio Vergara (foot) at halftime and looked fine for the most part after missing months but didn't fill the stat sheet. His return to the XI could be accelerated if the teammate has to miss time and Stanislav Lobotka (quad) and Scott McTominay (thigh) remain sidelined in the midfield. He has scored four times, assisted one and recorded 26 shots (eight on target) and 18 crosses (four accurate) in 16 appearances.

He's up to four helpers this year, but his previous one dated back to late October. He has swung in at least one cross in 33 contests in a row, amassing 33 deliveries (11 accurate), scoring twice and adding 12 chances created and 12 shots (three accurate) through that stretch.

Impact Elmas put his team up by two goals in the second half with a technical volley from the middle of the box. It's his maiden goal this season, while he has dished out three helpers. He has been filling in for Scott McTominay (thigh), who might not be out for much longer, lately, while Frank Anguissa and Kevin De Bruyne returned from injury in this one, so his minutes might dip in the next few tilts. He has registered at least one corner in seven matches in a row, totaling 13, assisting once and posting six shots (three on target), eight chances created and 11 crosses (four accurate) over that span.

He'll likely be eased into action, but he might be needed right away with Stanislav Lobotka (quad) and Scott McTominay (thigh) on the shelf and Frank Anguissa (thigh) also working his way back from a serious injury. He scored four PKs and provided two assists early in the season. He has notched at least one shot in his last three outings, piling up six attempts (two on target) and logging three key passes and three crosses (one accurate) over that span.

Napoli's top scorer from their title winning season has endured a difficult return since coming back from a serious long term injury in January, with the coaching staff carefully managing his workload.
