Napoli captain Marek Hamsik will miss Bologna game with a thigh injury

As expected, Napoli captain Marek Hamsik will miss the Bologna game with a thigh injury.

The midfielder was forced off with a hamstring problem against Inter, and it was expected that he’d miss the final game before the winter break.

This evening Carlo Ancelotti has named his squad for the match, and Hamsik has indeed been left out.

Lorenzo Insigne and Kalidou Koulibaly are suspended after the defeat to the Nerazzurri, though the Partenopei are appealing to have their two game bans reduced.

Napoli squad to face Bologna: Meret, Ospina, Karnezis, Albiol, Malcuit, Ghoulam, Luperto, Maksimovic, Mario Rui, Hysaj, Rog, Allan, Diawara, Zielinski, Fabian Ruiz, Callejon, Ounas, Younes, Verdi, Mertens, Milik
