Napoli injury woes: Gutierrez out, Spinazzola back for Roma | OneFootball

In view of the crucial league clash against Roma on Sunday, Antonio Conte's Napoli must contend with several absences in the defensive lineup.

Gutierrez Injury, Conte Was Right: Recovery Times

The alarm raised by Antonio Conte regarding Miguel Gutierrez's injury has unfortunately been confirmed. The coach's predictions proved accurate, as reported by Tuttosport: the recovery time for the winger, formerly of Girona, is estimated between two and four weeks. This is a significant setback, especially considering the busy schedule awaiting the Neapolitans. Gutierrez will miss several crucial matches across Serie A, European Cups, and National teams, including the Champions League match against Benfica in the next two weeks, the Coppa Italia game with Cagliari, and he also risks missing the start of the Italian Super Cup, scheduled from December 18.

Fortunately for Antonio Conte, there is also positive news. The return of Leonardo Spinazzola is now certain: the winger will be fully available for the trip to the Olimpico. Added to this is the excellent form of Mathias Olivera, who delivered a convincing performance against Qarabag in the Champions League. The simultaneous availability of these two left wingers is crucial to provide relief to the lineup, plagued by injuries.
