Napoli: Juan Jesus out, will the Brazilian play in Udine? Latest | OneFootball

Juan Jesus is also sidelined, thus adding to the long list of injured players among the Azzurri. Conte is considering whether to call him up for the match in Udine.

Napoli, Juan Jesus is also sidelined—will the Brazilian be available in Udine? The situation

The injury ordeal continues at Napoli: Juan Jesus is also out. As reported by Sky Sport, the Brazilian suffered a blow to his calf during today’s training session, and Napoli coach Antonio Conte does not seem inclined to risk Juan Jesus in the upcoming Serie A match against Udinese.

A long list of injured players

The trip to Udine becomes more complicated for Conte; the former national team coach will be forced to make some mandatory choices against the Friulians due to the many injuries. The unavailable players will be: Meret, Juan Jesus, Gilmour, Lobotka, Anguissa, De Bruyne, Lukaku. The aim is to recover Gutierrez for Sunday’s match, at least to have him among the called-up players, unlike Romelu Lukaku, who has returned to training with the group but is unlikely to travel with the team.

Possible moves

With Juan Jesus injured, we will most likely see the same defense that took the field in the last Champions League match against Benfica, made up of Buongiorno, Rrahmani, and Beukema. On the bench, the only substitute will be Marianucci, unless other players are adapted to the role.
