Napoli are getting ready to face Lazio in Rome in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal, and they'll have to do it without two regular starters.

Both Christian Maggio and Walter Gargano were left in Naples for the trip as the pair nurse unspecified injuries. Who starts in their place is currently unknown - neither Giandomenico Mesto nor Henrique have exactly inspired this season at right back, and it's hard to tell who's more out of favor in midfield of Jorginho and Gokhan Inler.

Elsewhere, it's expected that the wings will be manned by Manolo Gabbiadini and Dries Mertens after how poor Jose Callejon and Jonathan De Guzman were on Sunday. With so much rotation already forced, we shouldn't expect to see too many other changes from Sunday's lineup, though we could still see a swap in goal with Rafael Cabral coming in. Hopefully, anyways.

The usual long-term injury list still applies, sadly. The full 20-man matchday squad named for the match is listed below.

Goalkeepers: Rafael Cabral, Mariano Andujar, Roberto Colombo

Defenders: Giandomenic Mesto, Henrique, Kalidou Koulibaly, Miguel Britos, Raul Albiol, Faouzi Ghoulam, Ivan Strinic

Midfielders: David Lopez, Gokhan Inler, Jorginho, Jonathan De Guzman, Dries Mertens, Marek Hamsik

Forwards: Jose Callejon, Manolo Gabbiadini, Gonzalo Higuain, Duvan Zapata
