🤕 Napoli and Cameroon lose Zambo Anguissa until 2026 | OneFootball

Napoli has received a tough blow: André-Frank Zambo Anguissa faces a two to three-month absence. What was expected to be a minor ailment has turned out to be a serious muscle injury in the hamstring.

This serious diagnosis means that the Cameroonian will not play again for the rest of 2025. Anguissa is the engine of Napoli's midfield, a crucial player in recovery and offensive transition. 

The recovery time seriously jeopardizes his participation in the Africa Cup at the beginning of 2026. If the absence extends to the maximum expected, Anguissa could miss the tournament with Cameroon.

In summary, Anguissa's long-term absence is the worst news for Napoli. The club loses its starting midfielder for the rest of the year. They will have to find a way to maintain their competitive level until their star returns fully recovered at the beginning of 2026.

Now it remains to be seen if the Partenopei will end up strengthening in the winter market because without De Bruyne until February and Zambo Anguissa until January, they will need a piece that probably won't arrive in time. The piece they like the most right now is Mainoo, a midfielder from Manchester United.
