Report Hojlund in doubt for Napoli vs. Milan battle | OneFootball

There are reports emerging of a new and potentially devastating injury problem for Napoli, as Rasmus Hojlund could miss tonight’s showdown with Milan.

It kicks off at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at 19.45 UK time (20.45 CEST).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s four Serie A games on the Liveblog.

New Hojlund problem for Napoli

It was assumed that the injury crisis was starting to calm down for Antonio Conte, as Kevin De Bruyne, Scott McTominay and Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa are all expected to start tonight.

There are still quite a few absentees, such as Romelu Lukaku, David Neres, Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Amir Rrahmani.

According to Il Mattino, there are concerns that Hojlund could miss the match too, because he is struggling with an injury sustained on international duty.

It is not clear what condition he is suffering from, but only that he is in doubt for this match.

With Lukaku frozen out after refusing to return early from Belgium, as he prefers to seek treatment there than with the club staff, there are very few centre-forward options available.

Giovane could be used in that role instead, with support from De Bruyne.
