The player, who had caused some concern among the medical staff and fans due to his impact on the technical project, worked intensely during the international break. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Politano could return to training with the group in the coming days.

However, the technical staff does not intend to take any risks:"Politano will return to the field only if he is 100% fit," they say from Castel Volturno.

The goal is to have him ready for the away match against Torino, but with the utmost caution, considering the packed schedule awaiting the Italian champions: after the Granata, there will be the Champions League matches against PSV Eindhoven and, subsequently, the big match with Inter.

Buongiorno recovering: possible call-up against his former team

Not just Politano. Encouraging news is also coming from Alessandro Buongiorno, who is dealing with an adductor issue.The defender, born in 1999, is responding positively to therapy and personalized training.

According to the latest reports, Buongiorno could be called up precisely against his former team, Torino.However, Conte does not intend to rush things: it is unlikely the player will start. The goal is to avoid any risk of relapse and manage his return gradually.

Lobotka and Rrahmani: return dates

A different situation for Stanislav Lobotka, still sidelined due to a distractive adductor injury.According to La Repubblica, the Slovak midfielder is expected to return on November 4, for the Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt.

The return to the field of Amir Rrahmani is closer. The Kosovar defender, sidelined for weeks due to a muscle problem suffered during the first international break, could be available for the match against Inter on October 25, as reported by Il Corriere dello Sport.

Conte regains key players ahead of a tough run

For Antonio Conte, the most delicate phase of the season is approaching: between Serie A and the Champions League, Napoli will face Torino, PSV, Inter, Roma, and Atalanta in just a few weeks.

The recovery of key players such as Politano, Buongiorno, Rrahmani, and Lobotka will allow the coach to better manage rotations and regain balance between defense and build-up play.

After a fluctuating start, Napoli aims to climb the standings and secure a place in the Champions League round of 16. And to do so, Conte knows he needs all his best men in top form.
