The Italian international injured his left thigh.
Naples, 2023 Italian champions who have already lost all hope of retaining their title, will be without their goalkeeper Alex Meret for at least a month, the Italian press reported on Wednesday.
The Italian international was injured last Friday during his team’s draw (0-0) at home against Monza on the 18th day of the Italian Championship.
The examinations “showed that he suffered from a level 2 lesion of the semi-membranosus muscle of the left thigh,” Napoli said on Tuesday evening.
The club, currently 8th in the Italian Championship, 17 points behind leader Inter, has not specified the duration of its unavailability, but it is estimated by the Italian press at at least four weeks and could reach 45 days. .
Naples, already deprived of its Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen who will participate in the African Cup of Nations (January 13-February 11), will line up for the next championship matches and for the Italian Super Cup (January 18-22) Meret’s understudy, Pierluigi Gollini, himself returning from injury.
Naples will face FC Barcelona in the round of 16 of the Champions League. The first leg is scheduled for February 21 at the Diego-Armando-Maradona stadium.
