Bad news for Napoli on the eve of the match against Juventus: Uruguayan full-back Mathias Olivera stopped during training yesterday due to a muscle strain.
The instrumental tests, carried out today at the Pineta Grande Hospital, confirmed a distraction injury to the soleus muscle of the left leg. The Azzurri club announced this through an official medical bulletin. “Mathias Olivera has already begun the rehabilitation process.” A piece of news that forces the Neapolitan coach to review his plans for tomorrow's delicate match against Maradona against the black and whites.
The defender's absence represents a further obstacle for Napoli, which aims to maintain its lead in the championship in a match that promises to be a hard-fought one. It remains to be seen how the Azzurri coach will reorganize the formation to compensate for the absence of Olivera, fundamental both in the defensive phase and in the offensive forays.
