Napoli anxious for Lobotka: another injury, he will almost certainly be out in Parma

Stanislav Lobotka barely had time to warm up before he was forced to give up. After just ten minutes of play against Genoa, the Slovakian playmaker collapsed on the Maradona pitch to ask for a substitution. Napoli, who needed a win to keep Inter at bay in the race for the Scudetto, had to settle for a draw and, as if that wasn't enough, now finds itself with another problem to deal with: yet another injury in a grueling season.

Lobotka, already in doubt on the eve of the match due to an ankle problem he suffered in Lecce, had nevertheless been deployed as a starter by Conte. But the pain did not give any respite and his match ended early, leaving room for Gilmour. “It's always the same ankle problem – explained the coach in the post-match – but this time I fear it's more serious."

In the next few hours, the Italian midfielder will undergo instrumental tests to assess the extent of the injury. The most likely hypothesis is that he will miss the away match in Parma, a crucial point in the championship. A significant absence for Tale, which loses its most orderly and reliable man at the most delicate moment of the season.
