Siena will face Napoli without first choice goalkeeper Zeljko Brkic as the Serbia international faces another week on the sidelines following groin surgery. Francesco Bolzoni is also likely to miss out, with the former Inter youth also suffering a groin problem.
Walter Mazzarri has no real injury concerns going into Thursday's clash, however the former Sampdoria coach is expected to name a few changes to the side that drew with AC Milan last Sunday, with Goran Pandev likely to take Ezequiel Lavezzi's place in attack and Andrea Dossena and Gokhan Inler expected to replace Juan Zuniga and Blerim Dzemaili in the midfield.
