Impact summary

Pisa, already the lowest scorers in the league with 25 goals from 36 matches, lose multiple midfield and defensive options, further limiting their ability to build attacks and protect a fragile back line. Napoli, with 54 goals scored, retain their primary attacking output: leading scorer R. Højlund (10 goals, 4 assists) and S. McTominay (9 goals, 3 assists) are available, as is key creator M. Politano (5 assists). The absences of David Neres and R. Lukaku reduce Napoli’s depth and variety in the final third but do not remove their main goal sources, leaving the visitors still well equipped going forward.
