Bad luck continues to plague Alex Meret. The Napoli goalkeeper has been sidelined again after returning to the squad following a long layoff with a hand injury. During today's training session, Meret suffered a sprained left shoulder, as officially announced by the club.
A new setback forces the goalkeeper to immediately return to therapy, further reducing Antonio Conte's options. For Meret, this is yet another setback in a season so far marked more by injury than by appearances.
The goalkeeper's last match was on September 28th, in the defeat against AC Milan. After a few appearances, a hand injury struck, keeping him out of action for months. His recent return to the team seemed like the start of a new phase, but the shoulder injury has reopened the uncertainty.
In the coming days, Napoli's medical staff will assess the extent of the injury to determine recovery time and determine when Meret will be available to the coach again. Meanwhile, for Napoli and Conte, goalkeeping remains a crucial area to manage.

"Meret He represents a guarantee for Napoli, given that he was the goalkeeper of the two Scudetti. At the same time, we signed Milinkovic-Savic, who comes from a different club, and we'll try to find a way to give him playing time. Vanja has different characteristics than Alex, he too will have to play."

It's very sad to see Alex Meret continue to suffer injuries. We hope the shoulder injury isn't serious and he can return to action soon. Napoli needs him on the pitch, especially during this period.
