Antonio Conte facing headaches ahead of Benfica clash | OneFootball

Antonio Conte is facing yet another problem with his squad. According to reports, the Italian coach has lost another player to the medical department, just under a month before the match against Benfica in the Champions League. It is understood that the setback has occurred in midfield, with the injury of Frank Zambo Anguissa.

This is another significant blow for David Neres' team ahead of their upcoming fixtures, whether domestic or European. The 29-year-old player was on duty with his national team, Cameroon, when he suffered the injury and joins Kevin De Bruyne in the medical department. It should be noted that the Belgian will also not play against the Eagles.

Frank Zambo Anguissa, who was injured while playing for his national team, underwent tests today [Thursday] at Pineta Grande Hospital."

In the same statement, the team set to face the Eagles in the Champions League announced the issue affecting Zambo Anguissa, a midfielder with Premier League experience: "The results revealed a high-grade injury to the biceps femoris of his left thigh. The player has already started his rehabilitation process."

Although the Neapolitans have not disclosed how long the player will be sidelined, the Italian press, namely Gazzetta dello Sport, guarantees that the player will be out for Antonio Conte for the next three to four months. Napoli thus loses another starter in midfield.
