Napoli receive McTominay boost, but bad news for Vergara | OneFootball

There is mixed news from the Napoli medical staff, as while Scott McTominay returns to training, Antonio Vergara’s problem might be more serious.

The Partenopei have been dealing with an injury crisis for seemingly the entire campaign, as just as one player returns to the field, another picks up a new issue.

McTominay has not played since aggravating the inflammation of a tendon on February 7 when scoring a goal in the victory over Genoa.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the Scotland international will resume training with his teammates tomorrow, so should therefore be in the squad for Saturday’s Serie A match against Lecce.

However, Vergara is increasingly unlikely to be part of the team after he limped off in the win over Torino.

Il Mattino newspaper suggests that the youth academy product has been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and it could take a while for him to make a full recovery.

Napoli are still without David Neres, Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Amir Rrahmani, but Kevin De Bruyne and Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa made their comebacks last week.
