Napoli Sweat On Injuries To Key Duo Ahead Of Serie A Showdown With Inter Milan | OneFootball

Napoli have been dealt a double injury setback just a week before their crucial Serie A clash with Inter Milan at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona with Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund set to miss this weekend’s match against Torino.

As reported by DAZN, via FCInterNews, both McTominay and Hojlund were late withdrawals from the squad to face Torino.

Therefore, this leaves coach Antonio Conte without two key players in midfield and attack.

McTominay suffered a bruised left ankle, while Hojlund is dealing with muscular fatigue in his left thigh.

Both injuries are described as minor, but their conditions will be closely monitored over the coming days.

The timing, however, is far from ideal for Napoli.

Conte’s side face PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League during midweek before hosting Inter in what promises to be one of the standout fixtures of the Serie A calendar.

Inter are flying high under Cristian Chivu and are chasing a sixth consecutive league victory against Roma on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Napoli will be desperate to recover both players in time for next weekend’s showdown in Naples.
