Napoli injury updates on Mario Rui, Olivera and Elmas

Napoli defender Mario Rui partially trained with the rest of the team on Friday, while Eljif Elmas didn’t join the group due to a thigh injury.

Napoli trained at Castelvolturno this morning ahead of their next Serie A game with Claudio Ranieri’s Cagliari at the Stadio Maradona on Saturday.

The Serie A giants have said in an official statement that Mario Rui partially trained with the team today, while Elmas was ruled out due to a slight thigh injury.

Mario Rui has missed the last five Napoli games across all competitions with a hamstring injury.

Mathias Olivera has missed the last four and is not expected to be back tomorrow, as the Uruguayan left-back trained separately in the gym today.

Napoli are currently out of the top four with 24 points, one below Roma and Bologna in fourth. Inter are 14 points clear of the defending champions at the top of the Serie A table.
