Napoli, Hojlund not called up for the match against Belarus: The reason for his absence revealed

Napoli’s Danish striker, Rasmus Hojlund, joined his compatriots for the World Cup Qualifiers with Denmark and Scotland. However, the former United player is not even on the bench for the match against Belarus, but the reason is not alarming.

According to the newspaper Ekstra Bladet, the Danish striker was not called up due to a severe flu that forced him to stay in bed and prevented him from contributing to his Denmark team. Therefore, this absence does not worry Napoli fans, nor Napoli itself, which, when the league resumes, will face Palladino’s new Atalanta and will almost certainly be able to count on their number 19, despite his less than stellar performance against Bologna.

So far, Hojlund has scored 2 goals in 7 matches since his arrival in the Neapolitan capital, but Antonio Conte hopes that competition from Lucca and, soon, from Big Rom Lukaku, can provide extra motivation for his striker in front of goal.
