How serious is David Neres’ injury? First information pops up on the length of the Brazilian’s stop and when he might return to the field
Little information has leaked from Napoli’s official statement regarding David Neres’ injury. According to the first information, it was a muscle resentment felt during the last training session before the departure for Monza. Yet another stop for the Brazilian, who had not recovered even the best condition from his previous injury.
The best version of the striker was expected on the field, the one seen at the beginning of the season when he alternated with Kvaratskhelia, or the one in January just after the Georgian’s farewell. None of this. The number 7 is a distant relative of the one admired months ago and has shown Parthenopean fans why his career has not taken that turn that everyone expected. Between erratic performance and injuries, the picture is complete.
Infortunio Neres, quando rientrerà: le prime ipotesi
At such a decisive stage of the season, yet another knockout of Neres is infuriating news for Antonio Conte, and it was also clearly understood during the press conference on the eve of Monza. The Lecce coach stressed how certain things cannot be done in Naples, a blatant reference to Kvara’s farewell and his failure to replace him. Without Neres, it will be Spinazzola’s turn again, also back from injury,
But how long will the winger be out? Hard to say, even according to Corriere dello Sport. A muscle soreness is all too general and could be a minor injury, as well as a far more serious problem. A simple discomfort, could keep him out even only against Monza, to see him back on the field next week against Torino.
A strain, on the other hand, threatens to have him back on the field even in a month’s time, when the season is only 2 games away. For Napoli, at that point, it would be a matter of seeing him available again against Parma and Cagliari. A bitter end to the season, the same as Juan Jesus, who ended his championship prematurely. Meanwhile, in Monza Neres will start anyway, at Conte’s behest. He wants a compact team, even in the unavailable players, for this season finale.
