Napoli, double tegola for Walter Mazzarri: there'è injury for Alex Meret and Mario Rui

Walter Mazzarri’s second adventure on the Napoli bench begins uphill. The partenopei’s new coach will have to do without Alex Meret and Mario Rui for some time. The Società azzurra, through a note issued on their official profiles, has released the results of instrumental examinations and the recovery times of the two players.

“Mario Rui and Alex Meret underwent examinations at the Pineta Grande clinic: Mario Rui sustained a medium-degree injury of the adductor muscle of the left thigh. For the Azzurri goalkeeper, low-grade injury of the posterior tibialis muscle of the left leg. Both have already started therapy. Absent today at the training session Osimhen due to a flu syndrome" this is the statement issued by the Champion d'Italia club.

As for the Portuguese full-back, the stop should be about five weeks and the player should be back available for the challenge with Roma, scheduled for mid-December. The Azzurri extreme defender, on the other hand, will most likely miss the challenges with Atalanta, Real Madrid and Inter. The partenopei hope would be to recover Meret for the challenge against Juventus, scheduled for Friday, Dec. 8.
