CorSport – Napoli injury update: Meret, Anguissa, Gilmour, De Bruyne | OneFootball

CorSport – Napoli, the update on the injured: how are Meret, Anguissa, Gilmour, and De Bruyne doing?

There are still four players in the infirmary, but the situation is not expected to change in the immediate future. Aside from the useful recoveries for the Supercup – including those of Juan Jesus and Lukaku – Napoli continues to deal with significant absences, four players who would have been useful even in Riyadh. Three of them, just a few months ago, were key figures in the Scudetto win and now watch from afar a trophy they would have liked to compete for on the field. The first to return, though not immediately, should be Meret and Anguissa. The goalkeeper has finally removed the cast after the foot fracture suffered in training: the most delicate phase is behind him, but his return is still being approached with caution. They will try to have him back for the away match in Cremona on December 28, although there are no certainties at the moment. Anguissa, on the other hand, is recovering from a high-grade lesion to the biceps femoris of his left thigh: a long stop, missing the Africa Cup of Nations, and a return expected around mid-January. Gilmour, meanwhile, will only return at the beginning of February after undergoing surgery to resolve his pubalgia issues.

De Bruyne’s recovery path is more complex; he has started rehabilitation and has set aside his crutches. Yesterday, he posted a story on Instagram from Belgium, by the pool, with the caption ‘Rehab’, indicating that he will continue his rehabilitation in his home country before returning to Naples, following a plan similar to the one Lukaku already adopted. His return to the field is estimated between February and March.
