Bad news for Napoli and coach Antonio Conte : Alex Meret, the Azzurri goalkeeper, suffered a fracture to the second metatarsal of his right foot during the morning training session.
Medical tests performed at Pineta Grande Hospital confirmed the severity of the injury, which will sideline the player for at least a month. The club officially announced the diagnosis on its website, specifying that his recovery will be monitored and that all necessary rehabilitation measures will be taken.
This is a significant blow for the team, as they await the recovery of other injured players and are in the midst of preparing for the upcoming league and European cup matches. Meret 's absence complicates Conte's decisions, as he will need to continue with Milinkovic-Savic in goal to maintain defensive solidity and approach the upcoming fixtures with maximum focus.
