Napoli will be without Croatian full-back Ivan Strinic for their visit to the Stadio Carlo Castellani to face Empoli on Thursday.
Strinic will not be available after sustaining a strain to his right ankle, joining Jonathan De Guzman and Juan Camilo Zuniga on the treatment table.
The Partenopei have a spectacularly bad record away to the Tuscan side as they have never won at the Castellani in their history.
Rafa Benitez’s side are on excellent form and will be looking to continue their surge towards the Champions League places.
