Napoli: Buongiorno injury worry, De Laurentiis vents online | OneFootball

Bad news for Napoli. The injury to Alessandro Buongiorno could be more serious than expected. As reported by Il Mattino, the Azzurri defender experienced muscle discomfort at the end of the league match against Pisa, leaving the medical staff with more than one concern.

Napoli, Buongiorno injury: possible strain. Edo De Laurentiis vents on social media

The hypothesis: muscle strain and 2-3 weeks out

The initial assessments point to a suspected thigh strain, which could force him to miss at least 2-3 weeks. Further clinical tests are scheduled today to precisely determine the extent of the problem.

For Buongiorno, this would be yet another setback after missing 15 matches last season due to various physical issues. An injury that risks weighing not only on Napoli, but also on the National Team, given that the defender might not be available for the next call-up.

Edoardo De Laurentiis vents on social media

Adding fuel to the fire was a post that appeared in the past few hours on Instagram from the Azzurri vice-president, Edoardo De Laurentiis, who pointed the finger at the football institutions.

“The shame of those who do not have the dignity to let professionals, athletic trainers... work. Without strategic data, it is impossible to have an understanding of certain algorithms that are needed to preserve the condition of the players and more. Buongiorno’s injury? We have to thank the League and Stats Sport. Thank you,” wrote De Laurentiis.

Napoli anxious ahead of the big match

While waiting to learn the official recovery times, concern remains high in the Napoli camp. The possible absence of Buongiorno would weigh heavily on the defense right on the eve of the big match at San Siro against Milan, scheduled for Sunday evening. A clash that could already affect the balance at the top of the Serie A standings.
