Napoli is grappling with a significant injury crisis, with several key players suffering high-grade injuries – a relatively uncommon occurrence in football. This wave of injuries is impacting the team’s performance during Conte’s second season as manager, following their Scudetto-winning campaign.
Rrahmani’s Latest Setback
Defender Amir Rrahmani has sustained a high-grade hamstring injury (biceps femoris) in his left thigh. This is his fourth injury of the season,compounding the team’s woes.
Multiple High-Grade Injuries
According to a report in Repubblica Napoli, Rrahmani is not alone. Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne, and Frank Zambo Anguissa have also suffered serious, high-grade injuries that are expected to keep them out of action for extended periods – exceeding three months in some cases.
Surgical Interventions
Several other Napoli players have required surgery this season. Giovanni Di Lorenzo underwent an operation on his foot, David Neres on his ankle, and Billy Gilmour addressed a pubalgia issue surgically.
Widespread Impact
The injury list extends beyond these players, with Milinkovic-Savic, McTominay, Buongiorno, Politano, Lobotka, Spinazzola, and goalkeeper contini all spending time in the infirmary. As of mid-February [2024/2025], the number of available players is dwindling, leading to suggestions that the club consider unconventional measures to address the situation.
