Passable showing against Napoli
Mario (thigh) recorded three tackles (one won), two clearances and two interceptions and drew one foul in Monday's 3-2 victory over Napoli.
Analysis: Mario played about an hour in his return from injury and only contributed in the back. He has been consistently deployed over Nadir Zortea and Lorenzo De Silvestri at the position. He has posted seven crosses (one accurate), four interceptions and five clearances in his last five outings (all starts), with no clean sheets because he often subs off early.
Starting Monday
Mario (thigh) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Napoli.
Analysis: Mario was already deemed fit for Monday and has done one better, as the defender is also in the starting XI. He has been seeing most of the starts between left-back and right-back this campaign and should remain in this role, starting in all nine appearances since joining the club.
