The last Serie A match where neither Marek Hamsik nor Jose Callejon were in the starting XI was in September 2014.
Carlo Ancelotti enacted squad rotation for tonight’s trip to Sampdoria, leaving two of Maurizio Sarri’s ever-presents on the bench.
Incredibly, the last time Napoli started a Serie A match without either of these two veterans was a 1-0 defeat at Udinese on September 21, 2014.

The last Serie A match that Callejon didn’t start was a 2-0 win over Genoa on February 10, 2017 – and that’s because he was suspended after a red card against Bologna.
The Spanish winger had made 54 Serie A starts in a row until this evening.
In fact, the last time Callejon was available for selection and didn’t start was a 0-0 away to Carpi on September 23, 2015.
The last time Hamsik failed to feature in a Serie A match was their 1-0 defeat at Roma on April 4, 2015, as he remained on the bench.
Since then, Hamsik has either started or been a substitute in the next 125 Serie A rounds.
