- Napoli's manager, Massimiliano Allegri, is suspended and absent from the dugout.
- Several key players are unavailable for both Monza and Napoli due to injuries.
Rasmus Højlund has been selected to lead Napoli's attack in their upcoming match against Monza, with Lorenzo Lucca notably being on the bench. Giovanni Ayroldi will officiate the game, which is scheduled to kick off at 20:45 CET at the U-Power Stadium.
Napoli's head coach, Massimiliano Allegri, will be absent from the dugout due to a two-game suspension following a red card in a previous fixture.
