Napoli, Hojlund out with fever, Gazzetta jokes: Conte gets chills | OneFootball

Rasmus Hojlund did not take the field last night in the match between Denmark and Belarus. The Napoli striker was forced to withdraw at the last minute due to a mild flu, as announced by the Danish federation and reported by the portal Ekstra Bladet. Nothing serious, but enough to keep him out of both the starting eleven and the bench.

Napoli, Hojlund out with fever, Gazzetta jokes: “Conte must have had a shiver… these days!”

The news was picked up today by La Gazzetta dello Sport, which commented with a touch of irony on a situation that, given the long list of injuries at Napoli, caused a moment of concern: “For a moment yesterday, a shiver must have run down the spine of all Napoli fans. And maybe even Antonio Conte. These days, in Naples, it’s better not to tempt fate.”

No alarm, however: it’s just a seasonal illness. Hojlund should be back regularly available as early as Tuesday, in the highly anticipated match against Scotland, where he will be reunited with his friend and Napoli teammate Scott McTominay.

The club and Conte breathe a sigh of relief: this time the ‘shiver’ didn’t last long.
