There was great concern when more than a month ago Alessandro suffered an injury in training at Castel Volturno. That evening, Napoli was to appear at the Christmas dinner organized at Pietrarsa. But missing among all the key players was the Azzurri defender, who was stuck at home due to a fracture in the transverse processes of two lumbar vertebrae.

On the occasion of Napoli-Juventus, the player was not able to enter the call-ups because in recent weeks he has lost a lot of muscle mass, as mentioned by the coach in the press conference. But the recovery is progressing and even, in the three days given free to the players, Buongiorno never stopped.

According to reports in Corriere dello Sport, the former Torino captain has been following a personalized schedule to return to the field soon and be decisive again. From Saturday to Tuesday, during the days when the Castel Volturno center was not open to players, Alessandro continued his procedure and today he will finally be able to train with his teammates. The goal is to be among the summoned players in Roma-Napoli.

Juan Jesus has replaced Buongiorno well, despite a thousand doubts and general skepticism after his injury. Ahead of the match at the Olimpico, the Brazilian could once again start against the former to allow Alessandro to recover. It will be the player himself who will give the okay to Antonio Conte and give his availability to return to the field.
