Conte loses Gutierrez ahead of Roma clash | OneFootball

After their convincing 3-1 victory over Palladino’s Atalanta, Antonio Conte’s Napoli faces two important tests.

The first will be played tonight at 9:00 PM at the Stadio Maradona and concerns the Champions League match against Qarabag.

The second, however, will be the away match in Rome against Gasperini’s men.

For the match at the Olimpico, Antonio Conte will be without several injured players, most notably Miguel Gutierrez. The Neapolitans currently sit on 25 points in the standings, two points behind the Giallorossi.

The injury situation is particularly delicate: in addition to Meret, Spinazzola, Anguissa, De Bruyne, and Lukaku, Rasmus Hojlund has also suffered a flexor problem.

Yet another blow for the coach comes from the flank. Spanish full-back Miguel Gutierrez has sprained his right ankle and will therefore be unavailable for tonight’s Champions League match.

The Spaniard’s ankle injury will require time to recover, and Gutierrez may also be forced to miss Sunday’s crucial match against Roma. Olivera is ready to play in his place against Qarabag.

The only thing that’s making Conte smile ahead of the trip to the capital is the possible return of Leonardo Spinazzola. The former Giallorossi player is recovering from his injury, and his availability would be an important asset for Napoli ahead of the match against Roma.
