The Napoli Courier
Squad9 Nov 2026
Leonardo Spinazzola breaks a bone — 33 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 33 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Squad9 Nov 2026
Vanja Milinković-Savić is the hero from the spot
A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Vanja Milinković-Savić: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.
Match4 Nov 2026
Napoli march on in the cup
Foggia are out and Napoli go through, 2‑2 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.
Match7 Nov 2026
No end in sight to Napoli's wait for a win
8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Napoli has to find a result from somewhere.
Player ratings9 Nov 2026
A brace, and Alisson Santos takes the afternoon — 8.24
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Alisson Santos provided it, and the 8.24 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
Market9 Nov 2026
Scott McTominay wants more than Napoli are offering
“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.
Player ratings9 Nov 2026
The game went through Costantino Favasuli — 6.93
Marked 6.93 on 10 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.
Looking ahead9 Nov 2026
All roads lead to AS Roma
The fixture the calendar is arranged around. Form goes out of the window, the table is not consulted, and for ninety minutes Napoli will be judged on one thing only.
Match4 Nov 2026
Napoli caught on 126 minutes
The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Foggia scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.
