Antonio Vergara
NAP
Scores and assists versus Genoa
Vergara scored one goal and assisted once from two shots (one on target) and one chance created in 23 minutes in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Genoa.
Analysis: Vergara willed his team to victory alongside Kevin De Bruyne off the bench, as the two combined on both goals. He found his teammate in the box to set up the first one, while he slotted it in the empty ned after getting past the goalie on the game-sealing one. He'll push Matteo Politano for minutes this year after his breakout season was cut short by a foot injury. He posted two goals, two assists, 16 shots and 15 key passes in 16 showings (10 starts) in 2025/2026.
Unused sub in Bologna game
Vergara (foot) didn't play in Monday's 3-2 loss to Bologna.
Analysis: Vergara shook off a significant foot injury but wasn't deployed in this one, even though Napoli were short-handed without Kevin De Bruyne (eye). The starter isn't dealing with a serious issue, and Giovane and Eljif Elmas are also options in the role. Vergara has registered five shots (one on target), four key passes and two crosses (zero accurate) in his last five appearances.
Named to bench
Vergara (foot) is on the bench for Monday's match against Bologna.
Analysis: Vergara is on the team sheet again after training this week, ending a seven-match absence by earning a spot on the bench. He saw a string of starts before his injury but was unused for nearly the entire first half of the season, hoping to earn some in the final few games of the campaign.
Should be option for Bologna match
Vergara (foot) has successfully ramped up in training this week and will be part of the squad Monday, barring a late setback, Corriere dello Sport relayed.
Analysis: Vergara hasn't played since early March due to a severe case of plantar fasciitis, missing seven games in a row. He was a regular prior to his injury, but Kevin De Bruyne, Frank Anguissa and Scott McTominay have all recovered since then, and the coach tweaked the scheme. He has created at least one chance in his last three displays, accumulating four, assisting once and notching three shots (one on target), one cross (zero accurate) and two clearances during that stretch.
