Bad news for coach Conte ahead of home match against Torino: breaking news heavy on his faithful
Antonio Conte’s Napoli are approaching the challenge against Torino in a super positive mood. Just as they would need compactness and concentration toward the Scudetto sprint, however, fate has decided to complicate things.
With just a few days to go before a tricky game like the one against Torino, a tough, well-positioned team eager for points, there is no shortage of problems, indeed, they are multiplying, regarding the injury issue.
Napoli, tegola infortuni: Buongiorno potrebbe non farcela
If the long absence of David Neres was already a heavy tile for the Azzurri attack, with the obligation to once again rethink the offensive balance, another far from trivial concern has been added in the last few hours. At Castel Volturno, in fact, all attention is focused on the physical condition of Alessandro Buongiorno.

The center-back, who should experience this challenge with extra motivation against his past, is still in high doubt, according to La Repubblica on newsstands today. The signs coming from the medical staff do not bode well: with two days to go before the match, his chances of returning to the starting lineup are hanging by a thread.
Emergenza difesa per Conte: anche Juan Jesus sarà out
As if that were not enough, Juan Jesus also had to say goodbye prematurely to the season due to muscle discomfort. A silent, but heavy loss: the Brazilian’s experience was a valuable asset to manage the rotations in an already emergency department.

Thus, after a light-and-shade debut in Monza, Rafa Marin finds himself the only central left available. Despite his young age and inexperience in certain contexts, it may still be his turn to hold up the Azzurri defense.
For the Lecce coach, it won’t just be a matter of tactics: when you’re missing half a defense and your most imaginative striker is in the pits, there’s nothing left to do but cling to the group, the hunger, and the desire not to give up. Even if the road is all uphill.
