(Reuters) - Napoli go into their Serie A game with Monza without the suspended Victor Osimhen and Matteo Politano, and mounting injury problems are also cause for concern for manager Walter Mazzarri.

Osimhen and Politano were both sent off in last weekend's 2-0 defeat at AS Roma. Stanislav Lobotka went off injured in that game and another midfielder, Jesper Lindstrom, missed that game through injury and both are doubtful for the Monza match.
