Napoli confirm Juan Jesus injury verdict

Browse By

Napoli have revealed the results of the examination on Brazilian centre-back Juan Jesus, who is set to miss the rest of the season after picking up an injury in their last game.

Jesus picked up the injury in Napoli’s 3-0 Serie A win over Empoli at the Diego Maradona Stadium on Monday. With the Brazilian substituted in the 72nd minute.

Napoli said in a ทางเข้า UFABET สำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ สมัครวันนี้ รับโบนัสฟรี statement that Jesus underwent tests at the Pineta Grande hospital. And has found to have a tear in the hamstring of his right thigh. The length of his recovery period has not given, but it is usually a one-month injury.

It means that Jesus is definitely out for the rest of the season and coach Antonio Conte is also without key centre-back Alessandro Buongiorno. Meaning the next game will see him use Rafa Marin, who has yet to start a Serie A game this season.

Antonio Conte must therefore turn to Rafa Marin to receive his first start against Monza in the next Serie A round.

Marin, a 22-year-old Spanish centre-back who joined from Real Madrid last summer, has only made four appearances for Napoli, starting two in the Coppa Italia and coming off the bench in two Serie A games, where he played just 23 minutes of game time.
