These are very difficult hours at home in Naples. Antonio Conte is forced to deal with a situation that is anything but simple.
Napoli’s season continues at its best, with the Scudetto appearing ever closer. The gap with Inter has now been closed, given the Nerazzurri’s misstep against Bologna. At the moment, the standings smile on the partenopei, who are on 71 points tied with their “rivals.” This means only one thing: there are as many as five finals scheduled. In fact, the last days of the championship will be crucial, even if Antonio Conte is likely to face them with some serious issues. Among them, there is once again, the injury issue that threatens to ruin everything.
Weeks pass, but not the end result. Napoli continues its sprint toward the Scudetto, but the injury situation continues to be serious. This time, it was again David Neres who paid the price, and he is in danger of ending his first season in the Azzurri prematurely.

As reported by “Il Corriere dello Sport” the Brazilian suffered an injury before the Monza challenge, with the situation immediately appearing quite “critical.” In fact, the player suffered a distractor injury of the soleus in his left leg, just as reported in the blue club’s statement. This problematicha is translated into: 25-30 days of stop.

So, is David Neres’ season already over? Maybe not. There are small chances of seeing him back on the bench for the last two outings or perhaps for the very last day against Cagliari at the end of May. This is, of course, an incredible blow for Napoli, which loses a key man ahead of the Scudetto sprint.
The injury (yet another) of David Neres opens a very curious scenario at home to Napoli. Prior to the injury, the former Benfica man had long been a key pawn in the attack, although he struggled and not a little upon his return.
