Will Alessandro Buongiorno return to the field right against his Torino side? What’s filtering out of Castel Volturno about the injured defender’s condition
Alessandro Buongiorno’s return to the field is one of the topics of discussion in these days leading up to the challenge with Torino next Sunday. Napoli has its destiny in its own hands in this season finale. With Inter’s setback, there are 15 points up for grabs and a perfectly even situation between the two teams, both at 71.
The Azzurri will face Torino, precisely, Lecce, Genoa, Parma and Cagliari, while the Nerazzurri will face Roma, Verona, Torino, Lazio and Como. These challenges will also be joined by the two in the Champions League against Barcelona. And while Napoli gets there more rested, at the same time Conte has to deal with more absences, including that of Buongiorno himself.
Buongiorno, il rientro resta in dubbio: le sue condizioni
The adductor injury that kept him out against Bologna, Empoli and Monza could leave him in the pits against Torino as well. The team that raised him and saw him mature. The granata brought the defender to shine, before the call from Napoli. A match that will forever be special for the class of ’99, however, who risks not being able to face his Maradona past.

According to reports also from Corriere dello Sport, no positive news is filtering out of Castel Volturno. The Parthenopean defender would appear not to have recovered and may not even be able to sit on the bench. In the coming hours, the team will continue training ahead of Sunday’s match, hoping to be able to get the 25-year-old at least on the bench.
As with Monza, ready Rafa Marin to take his place, due to the injury of Juan Jesus as well. A final tour de force where teeth will have to be gritted. Buongiorno, in any case, will almost certainly return for the challenge against Lecce next May 3. A very tough away match because of what is at stake for both teams.
