Napoli: Buongiorno set for gradual return under Conte | OneFootball

Alessandro Buongiorno, after getting injured in Napoli's last home game against Pisa, is following a carefully planned recovery process to heal the muscle injury that forced him to stop. In the last few hours, Il Mattino highlights, the player had a direct discussion with Antonio Conte and the Napoli medical staff, during which a clear strategy was shared: prioritize complete recovery and minimize the risk of relapse, even at the cost of extending the return time.

Napoli, cautious management for Buongiorno: the defender will follow a targeted path

The coach reiterated the need for a cautious approach, aiming for a progressive recovery that allows the center back to become available only when his physical condition will truly allow it. The dialogue between the coach, player, and doctors revealed full agreement: no pressure, no forced acceleration, but a structured work that combines gradualness and rigor. The defender has already started the first physiotherapy sessions and will continue with a rehabilitation program that initially involves reduced loads, to be increased in the following weeks.

Conte considers Buongiorno a key element for Napoli's defensive balance, especially in view of the most delicate commitments of the season. However, the shared priority remains the protection of the player's health. The technical staff is aware that a rushed return could compromise not only the immediate performance, but also the reliability of the player in the medium-long term.
