Napoli has suffered another blow in a period already plagued by injuries. Billy Gilmour, 24, will undergo surgery on Monday in London to address the groin pain that has affected his consistency and explosiveness for weeks. The club announced the news in an official statement, specifying that the player will be supported during his medical journey by Dr. Gennaro De Luca, a member of the club's medical staff.
Yet another setback further exacerbates an already difficult situation for Antonio Conte, who sees the team's most critical department empty.

It's a real shame for Gilmour. He looked like he could do well, but now he needs surgery. Napoli needs him at this difficult time. Let's hope he recovers quickly and without complications. The situation is truly critical.
