Napoli, Neres doubtful for Fiorentina: Brazilian still not fit | OneFootball

Injury emergencies continue at Napoli ahead of their upcoming matches, some of which are quite significant (Fiorentina and Manchester City). Besides Rrahmani's absence, who will be out for about the next twenty days, Gutierrez and Neres might also not return for the trip to Florence, as they are still not at their best. The Brazilian, in particular, has not yet recovered from the discomfort that has been bothering him lately and might therefore miss the Champions League debut as well.

Is Neres' return delayed? The number 7 in blue has not yet recovered from the injury

More problems for Antonio Conte, who has had to deal with significant absences since the start of the season. Among these is David Neres, who, after playing a part of the match in the opening victory against Sassuolo, suffered an injury that kept him out of the game at Maradona against Cremonese. The former Ajax player was supposed to return after the break, but according to today's editions of 'Il Mattino' and 'La Repubblica', his presence even just on the bench against Fiorentina is very unlikely.

It remains to be seen if it will be possible to at least see him on the bench for the Champions League debut against Manchester City. Meanwhile, Antonio Conte can count on two new additions, Elijf Elmas and Rasmus Hojlund, the latter having returned today from his national team duties and available for the first time to Conte at Castelvolturno. Besides Neres, the other player sidelined is Rrahmani, who sustained a low-grade lesion with Kosovo, keeping him off the field for about the next 20 days. Gutierrez is also in doubt, as despite a good performance in the test against Avellino, he is still not at his best.
