Bad news for Antonio Conte following the injury of one of his most important players in Napoli. As officially announced by the Neapolitan club, indeed, Alessandro Buongiorno suffered a fracture after a very violent fall during the last training session.
This is Napoli’s statement on the condition of the strong defender: “Alessandro Buongiorno was injured today in training. The azzurri defender, after a fall, has suffered, as revealed by the tests carried out at the Pineta Grande Hospital, a fracture to the transverse processes of two lumbar vertebrae. Buongiorno will start rehabilitation tomorrow”.
A very heavy blow for Conte who will have to do without the former Torino player for over three weeks. Buongiorno, who arrived in Napoli last summer, quickly became a key element in the rebirth of the Neapolitan formation. His prolonged absence, considering the boy’s importance in the defensive department, could have an impact on the upcoming league matches for the blues.
