Report – Napoli Suffer Major Injury Blow Ahead Of Serie A Title Six-Pointer Vs Inter Milan | OneFootball

Napoli will take on Inter Milan in a mouth-watering Serie A showdown next month with star winger David Neres.

According to Sky Sport Italia via FCInterNews, the 27-year-old could face up to 40 days on the sidelines.

Neres suffered a thigh injury in the late stages of Napoli’s frustrating 1-1 home draw against Udinese last weekend.

As a result, he will stay in the treatment room for over a month.

That means Napoli won’t have the former Benfica star at their disposal when Inter roll into town on March 2.

Simone Inzaghi and his charges will have revenge on their minds after a controversial 1-1 draw in November’s reverse fixture.

Indeed, Antonio Conte embarked on a word war against his former club after the match.

Tensions could escalate when the two sides meet again at Stadio Diego Maradona.

Neres should’ve been Napoli’s attacking leader after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s switch to Paris Saint-Germain.

However, the Brazilian’s injury means Conte will need others to step up and fill the void upfront.

AC Milan loanee Noah Okafor could be his first choice.
