Already without Lukaku, Rrahmani, Lobotka and with Hojlund in doubt, the Italian champions lose their goalkeeper. It’s too early to understand recovery times, but he risks returning in January. It’s Milinkovic-Savic’s turn

October 24, 2025 (changed at 3.47pm) – NAPLES

The injury nightmare returns for Alex Meret. Through a note published on their official channels, Napoli announced that the goalkeeper stopped during the morning training session and that the subsequent tests carried out at the Pineta Grande Hospital highlighted the fracture of the second metatarsal of the right foot. It is too early to predict the player’s recovery time, but in all likelihood he will be back on the pitch in January. Starting tomorrow against Inter, Vanja Milinkovic-Savic will be the starter for the next few weeks.

HOW MANY INJURIES

Since being a Napoli player, Meret has suffered a broken arm in 2018, two separate fractures to his vertebrae in 2021 and 2022 and various muscle problems that have limited his use, the latest of which at the start of the championship which prevented him from taking the field with Fiorentina and Manchester City. Meret joins the list of unavailable players which currently already includes Lukaku, Rrahmani, Lobotka and Contini. And with doubt Hojlund.
