Napoli will have to do without their key man in the middle of the pitch. The ankle injury suffered by Stanislav Lobotka in the opening minutes of the match against Genoa proved more serious than expected.
Diagnostic tests carried out in the last few hours have confirmed a sprain with contusion to the right ankle, which will force the Slovakian midfielder to miss the trip to Parma. A heavy loss for Antonio Conte, who will have to redesign the heart of his midfield in the penultimate match of the championship.
The alternatives lead to two names: Billing and Gilmour, with one of the two who will join Anguissa in midfield in the match against the dukes. Lobotka, in the meantime, has already started the rehabilitation process with the aim of recovering in time for the last day of Serie A, when Cagliari will arrive at the Maradona. His return remains in doubt, but the Italian medical staff is working against time to give Conte a key player in view of the end of the season.

It's sad to hear that Lobotka is not playing for Napoli. His injury is a big problem, especially for Conte. I hope he can come back soon, but it seems like it will take time. Billing and Gilmour are also good.
