Napoli, Buongiorno a major doubt: almost certain to miss Milan clash | OneFootball

A bit of anxiety accompanies Napoli on the eve of their away match at San Siro against Milan. Central defender Alessandro Buongiorno, who left the field with a knock at the end of the match against Pisa, will undergo thorough tests today to assess the extent of the muscle strain in his left thigh.

Napoli, Buongiorno alarm: almost certain to miss the match against Milan

According to Corriere dello Sport, barring any sensational surprises, Buongiorno will almost certainly miss the match against the Rossoneri. The medical staff’s goal, however, is to minimize his recovery time, also with an eye on the upcoming fixtures: the second Champions League matchday against Sporting Lisbon (October 1st) and the league match against Genoa (October 5th), both at home.

Who will replace Buongiorno

In place of the defender, Conte will be able to count on Rrahmani, who has finally recovered from the right thigh injury he suffered while playing for the Kosovo national team. Alongside him, one between Beukema and Juan Jesus will be chosen, while the midfield will see Anguissa and Lobotka return to the starting lineup, after both began on the bench against Pisa.

Training and off-field appointments

Napoli will resume preparations today at the Castel Volturno training center, with technical work, video analysis, and medical evaluations for Buongiorno. The team will also attend this evening the premiere of the film “Ag4in – The Film of Napoli’s Fourth Scudetto,” directed by Giuseppe Marco Albano and produced by FilmAuro, celebrating the historic triumph of the Azzurri last season.

The atmosphere remains one of anticipation, but also of confidence: Napoli wants to face Milan with the best possible lineup, ready to defend the Scudetto and keep their focus high in Serie A and the Champions League.
