Napoli is forced to deal with the sudden injury of one of the most in-form players in its squad, who left the field in the sixty-ninth minute of the match won against Lazio. We are talking about David Neres, who suffered a bad ankle sprain that will definitely keep him out of action for the team’s next match under Conte.
The instrumental tests carried out at the Pineta Grande Hospital revealed a sprain trauma to the left ankle. “David Neres, who was injured during the match against Lazio, underwent instrumental tests today at the Pineta Grande Hospital which revealed a sprain trauma to the left ankle. The Azzurri player has already started the rehabilitation process,” reads the club’s official statement.
Conte had already reassured at the end of the match, explaining that it might not be anything serious since it was not a muscle injury. A sprain usually requires about ten days of rest, so the condition of the attacking winger will need to be monitored ahead of the upcoming fixtures. The schedule is packed: on January 7 there is the away match against Verona, followed on January 11 by the big Sunday night match against Inter.
