There is anxiety in Napoli for Stanislav's condition LobotkaThe Slovakian footballer suffered a thigh problem and was forced off in the 83rd minute of the Nations League match between Slovakia and Azerbaijan.
Bad news for Napoli and the coach Antonio Conte, as they may have to be deprived of the director for several weeks. At the moment, the severity of the injury is not yet defined and will be clarified after the necessary tests upon his return to Napoli.
The midfielder complained of pain in his flexor and requested the entry of a substitute. According to local media, it would be a problem with his thigh flexor, but the exact conditions have yet to be assessed.
Post-match footage shows Lobotka leaving the field sitting down, followed by a bandage being applied to his left thigh by Slovakian medical staff. However, leaked images from the locker room show him smiling and without a bandage. He is scheduled for a thorough medical examination today to determine his health.
It is hoped that the statement from CT Calzona, who yesterday evening attributed the injury to tiredness, will be confirmed.
Lobotka's participation in the next away match on Sunday at Empoli is seriously in doubt. If the tests confirm the injury, Gilmour will replace Lobotka in midfield, flanked by Anguissa and McTominay.
