Napoli: Conte anxious as Gilmour heads to London over recovery, Spinazzola… | OneFootball

Napoli prepares for the league match against Roma, but Antonio Conte will still have to do without several key players.

Napoli, Conte's anxiety over Gilmour: the Scotsman flies to London to clarify recovery times. Spinazzola…

Among them, Billy Gilmour remains an uncertainty: the recovery time for the Scotsman is not yet defined, and the coach shows evident concern.

Gilmour flies to London for a specialist consultation

According to today's edition of Repubblica, Gilmour has flown to London for an in-depth medical consultation to precisely define the recovery path from the groin injury that keeps him sidelined. Conte hoped to have him available against Roma, but the Scotsman will not be part of the match.

On the other hand, Romelu Lukaku, whose return was expected earlier, has seen his return date postponed: the Belgian forward will try to be among the squad for the match against Juventus on December 7.

Recovery times still uncertain

Currently, there are no certainties about Gilmour's recovery times, and the situation remains a point of concern for Conte. During press conferences, before and after the Champions League match against Qarabag, the coach repeatedly highlighted his anxiety over the Scotsman's condition.

Spinazzola recovers and will be an important option

A positive note for Conte concerns Leonardo Spinazzola, who is fully recovered and ready to be deployed on the left wing. According to the newspaper, Spinazzola will provide width and dynamism to the left flank, with a possible appearance during the game against Roma, likely as a substitute.

The match holds particular significance for the winger: Spinazzola played for Roma for five seasons (from 2019 to 2024) before transferring to Napoli, where he contributed to winning the championship, proving decisive especially in the second half of the season.
