Napoli, Buongiorno sidelined with groin injury: out for three matches | OneFootball

Napoli has to deal with a problem in defense: Alessandro Buongiorno stopped in the match on Monday night against Pisa, leaving the field due to a muscle discomfort that, unfortunately, confirmed the worst feelings. The instrumental examinations carried out at Pineta Grande Hospital revealed a low-grade lesion to the long adductor of the left thigh, an injury that will force the former Turin player to a period of stop.

Buongiorno's injury, defense alarm for Napoli: lesion to the adductor and return after the break

This is a first-degree lesion, which generally requires 7 to 20 days of recovery depending on the player's response to the rehabilitation process. The certainty is that Buongiorno will be forced to miss the next three official matches: the big league match against Milan, the European commitment with Sporting Lisbon and the challenge with Genoa.

The goal of Napoli's medical staff is to have him available after the break for the nationals. The circled date on the calendar is October 18 against Torino, a match with a particular flavor for the 1999 class defender, who grew up in granata. If the times were to lengthen, the return could slip to October 21 with PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League or to October 25 for the super match with Inter. Napoli, who is trying to consolidate its defensive balance, will therefore have to face a delicate phase, which will also include the league match against Milan, without one of its pillars, again in the box.
