The latest updates on the health of Cameroonian international André-Frank Zambo Anguissa are causing serious concern among both Napoli supporters and fans of the Cameroon national team.

Antonio Conte gives an update on Anguissa’s injury

The 30-year-old midfielder has been sidelined since mid-November due to a complex lower back issue. His coach, Antonio Conte, revealed that the medical staff has yet to find a definitive solution, making his return date highly uncertain.

"Anguissa is suffering from a back problem for which the doctors have not yet found a solution," the Italian manager admitted.

According to several local media outlets in Naples, the player is reportedly dealing with a lumbar hernia that causes reflexes and discomfort in his leg, severely restricting his ability to perform his usual movements. As a result, the length of his absence remains unknown.

This complex injury has already ruled Anguissa out of the 2026 World Cup qualification play-off and kept him from participating in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, recently held in Morocco. Now, his presence for the next “Indomitable Lions” training camp scheduled for March is in serious doubt.
