Ahead of the match between Napoli and Juventus, scheduled for December 7th at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Fuorigrotta, terrible news arrives for Antonio Conte’s Napoli. The Azzurri midfielder, Stanislav Lobotka, suffered a muscle strain during the pre-match warm-up for the game against Cagliari, which could force him to miss the match against the Bianconeri.

Napoli, total emergency in midfield: Lobotka injured as well

What has happened at Napoli in less than three weeks is truly remarkable. After having limited the damage caused by the injuries to Billy Gilmour, Frank Zambo Anguissa, and Kevin De Bruyne, Antonio Conte now loses Stanislav Lobotka to injury as well. During the pre-match warm-up for the Coppa Italia match against Cagliari, the Slovak midfielder suffered a muscle strain, leaving his participation in next Sunday’s match against Juventus in doubt.
