🚨 More trouble in Naples: medical update on Meret | OneFootball

Napoli is facing a downpour of problems at a crucial moment in the season. After confirming the absence of Rasmus Højlund, the club has announced the injury of their starting goalkeeper, Alex Meret.

During the morning training, Meret suffered a fracture in the second metatarsal of his right foot. The exams conducted at the Pineta Grande Hospital confirmed the diagnosis.

The team coached by Antonio Conte leaves the recovery time of the goalkeeper up in the air, but everything points to him being out for several weeks.

This absence comes at a delicate time for Napoli, which was already dealing with issues in their starting lineup with the absences of Hojlund, Lobotka, and Lukaku. Meret's absence forces the coach to rely on Vanja Milinkovic-Savic but with an eye on his health status since Contini, the third goalkeeper, is also out of action.

Despite the difficulties, Napoli seeks to remain calm and focus on the upcoming match against Inter on Saturday in Serie A.
