Rrahmani, Kosovo lose their leader and Napoli left sweating: latest updates | OneFootball

A bitter evening for Amir Rrahmani and for Kosovo. The Balkan national team collapsed 4-0 against Switzerland and the Napoli defender had to leave the pitch in the second half due to a muscle discomfort in his right thigh. A scene that immediately sparked fears of the worst, even though the player left the field walking without any particular difficulty.

Rrahmani stops while on international duty: Napoli aims to avoid risks

After the match, Rrahmani still appeared before the journalists, analyzing the heavy defeat with clarity and explaining that tests would be necessary to understand the extent of the physical problem. The following day he returned home for the first examinations: the technical time needed for a definitive diagnosis is at least 48 hours, but the feeling is that his presence tomorrow against Sweden should be ruled out.

According to reports from both the local press and Corriere dello Sport, the Kosovar captain intends to return to Naples soon to come under the supervision of the Azzurri’s medical staff. In constant contact with the national team doctors, the Neapolitan staff considers it a priority to avoid the risk of relapse and to manage his recovery with caution. The goal is to have him available for Conte for the crucial match against Fiorentina when Serie A resumes.
