The worst was averted. Giovanni Di Lorenzo did not suffer a torn anterior cruciate ligament, as initially feared after the injury he suffered against Fiorentina.
Instrumental tests revealed a second-degree sprain to his left knee, which will force the Napoli defender to sideline him for approximately a month.
The Azzurri announced the news in an official statement, released following the completion of medical tests at the Pineta Grande Hospital in Castel Volturno. The next step, the club announced, will be a specialist consultation to define the specific rehabilitation plan.

A significant absence for Napoli, but with some reassuring news: the captain will be able to return to the field without surgery, thus avoiding a long and complex recovery.
