Pasquale Mazzocchi
NAP
Joining Venezia on loan
Mazzocchi joined Venezia on loan from Napoli until the end of the 2026/27 season Monday.
Analysis: Mazzocchi has been dealing with a bruised knee of late, but by the time the wing-back returns to the field, he'll do so as a Venezia player, not Napoli. The loan will run until the end of the 2026/27 season, and it'll give Mazzocchi the chance to earn first-team minutes he likely wouldn't get with the Partenopei. If healthy, Mazzocchi could make his Venezia debut against Frosinone on Sunday.
Absent versus Genoa
Mazzocchi hasn't been named in Napoli's squad list to face Genoa on Saturday due to a bruised knee.
Analysis: Mazzocchi suffered a minor injury in training and isn't a lock to stay at the club after Napoli added youngster Costantino Favasuli to back up stalwart Giovanni Di Lorenzo in the last few days.
Assists off bench
Mazzocchi assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 win over Pisa.
Analysis: Mazzocchi came off the bench in the 88th minute and registered his first goal contribution of the season just four minutes later, setting up Rasmus Hojlund's third goal. The right wing-back has seen limited league action this season, making only two starts in 15 appearances, creating four chances and attempting two shots.
