Latest Calcio Napoli – from Buongiorno and Olivera to Kvaratkhelia and Politano: the point on injuries ahead of the match against Verona
For the latest calcio Napoli we also address the issue related to injuries. There are 4 and heavy ones that Conte has to face at this delicate moment of the season. The month of January, in fact, started off on the right foot in the away match in Florence, but it will place before the Azzurri an even more hostile calendar. After the challenge against Verona next Sunday, in fact, it will be the turn of Atalanta and Juventus, before the match with Roma in early February.
An impressive tour de force, which puts Napoli in a position to hope to recover its best players as soon as possible. The list includes Alessandro Buongiorno, Mathias Olivera, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Matteo Politano. To have made full marks without these players must even more enhance the work done by Antonio Conte since the beginning of the season.
Buongiorno e Olivera, il punto sulla difesa del Napoli
Let’s start in our focus from the back ward. For Alessandro Buongiorno, injured in training in mid-December and with a fractured lumbar vertebra that has caused him to miss the last 3 games, the recovery time is the longest of anyone on this list.

The center back should be there for the game against Juventus at the Maradona next Jan. 25. Virtually impossible, in fact, for him to make it as early as the 18th against Atalanta. The risk is that he will not be able to be on the field for the match with the Bianconeri either, slipping directly to the match with Roma in February. The situation must be kept monitored.
For Olivera, however, the calf injury he suffered against Fiorentina is being evaluated. The Uruguayan could also already be available for the match with Verona, but the Napoli staff will not want to risk it. The resumption of the team’s training was yesterday, which is why only in the coming days will better understand how to move.
Kvaratskhelia e Politano, come stanno gli attaccanti
Chapter attack. Conte made up for the absence of Kvara and Politano in a big way against Fiorentina, with a Neres in terrific form and a Spinazzola who played a very good match. The Georgian stopped due to a muscle strain while the Azzurri due to a calf elongation.

Both situations will be monitored before the Verona challenge, as the worst seems to be over. As in the case of Olivera, however, one will not want to risk burning time and then not having them available for more delicate matches.
Here, then, these days become crucial for both of them. At Castel Volturno, Conte will be able to better understand the condition of his strikers and assess whether or not to call them up for Sunday’s game and even give them a starting jersey.
