Napoli, Rrahmani forced to leave with Kosovo due to a muscle problem

There is now great concern in Napoli. They will wait a couple of days, after which he will undergo an MRI, but it is very likely that he will have to stop for a while, depending on the severity of the tear.

The Napoli defender left the game after just over an hour of play in the match lost by Kosovo, of which he is captain, against Switzerland 0-4. After a sprint to stop Embolo heading towards the goal, at the 58th minute Rrahmani stopped, touching the back of his right thigh. Immediately treated by the staff, the defender tried to continue the match for a few minutes but had to give up quickly. His condition needs to be evaluated; after the match, Rrahmani said in an interview that he will undergo an MRI to understand the extent of the injury. Upon returning after the break, Napoli will play away at Fiorentina's home.

In the post-match, the Napoli defender spoke to the microphones of Klankosova.tv, also discussing his physical condition:

“Tomorrow (today, editor’s note) we will do the MRI to see what it is. We need to forget this match as soon as possible, take only the mistakes made and improve them, preparing for the match against Sweden. Actually, Switzerland took advantage of the opportunities that arose after our mistakes. All the chances occurred in the first half. From the first minute, we couldn’t win the second ball, they always won it. From there, they started their actions and we fell far behind. We were not attentive.”

After Rrahmani himself, even the Kosovo coach, Franco Foda, spoke about the injury to the Kosovar media: “Regarding the injury, he has muscle problems, I hope it’s nothing serious.

He was forced to leave, but the second half went much better. We were more compact, closed the flanks better, were more confident with the ball, and won more second balls. In the first half, we didn’t play at our usual level.”
