Napoli will be without four players including Gonzalo Higuain for Sunday's Serie A maagainst Livorno, manager Rafael Benitez said on Saturday.
"We have three players who have been selected for their national teams who aren't well and won't be able to leave. They are Higauin, Juan Zuniga and Raul Albiol, as well as Christian Maggio," Benitez told a news conference.
Maggio should be available again after the international break following an operation on his left knee.

Napoli disappointed in their 2-0 Champions League defeat at Arsenal on Tuesday when they lacked bite in attack without Argentine striker Higuain who was ruled out with a calf injury.
"(Goran) Pandev and Duvan (Zapata) did well against Genoa, and (Jose) Callejon can also play in his place," Benitez added, referring to last weekend's 2-0 away win in which Pandev scored both goals.
Napoli are second in Serie A, two points behind league leaders AS Roma.
