Napoli face PSV with injury doubts: Conte checks McTominay, Hojlund | OneFootball

After the defeat against Torino, Napoli is called to an immediate reaction in the Champions League. On Tuesday, the Azzurri will face PSV in a delicate match, which comes at a complicated time for Antonio Conte, still dealing with several formation doubts.

Napoli, Conte prepares for the match against PSV: the latest on Hojlund and McTominay

As highlighted by AreaNapoli, the condition of Scott McTominay raises more than a few concerns. The Scottish midfielder suffered a deep cut on his ankle during a tackle in training at Castel Volturno, which required six stitches. The pain persists, and his recovery for the European match seems difficult to imagine. Napoli hopes to have him available for the big league match against Inter on October 25, when he should also have the stitches removed. The situation is slightly more optimistic for Rasmus Hojlund, who was sidelined against Torino due to muscle fatigue. The latest indications suggest a possible return among the squad for PSV, although the medical staff prefers not to take risks. In case of another absence, Conte might opt for an offensive solution without a true striker.

Meanwhile, the team has resumed training at Castel Volturno: morning session, recovery work for those who played, and intense training for the rest of the group. Conte demands an immediate reaction, aware that a positive result in Europe could restore confidence and calm to the entire Neapolitan environment, especially in view of the match against the Nerazzurri.
