Napoli is in trouble since Kevin De Bruyne will be sidelined for months
Kevin De Bruyne sustained a severe thigh injury that will keep him out of action for at least three months, thus Napoli’s 3-1 triumph against Inter came at a steep cost.
At Pineta Grande Hospital, scans revealed a significant tear of the right biceps femoris in the Belgian midfielder, who scored the first goal before being substituted out in the first half. Napoli declared in a formal statement that the player had already started his recuperation.
Antonio Conte’s team, which has been without Romelu Lukaku since August because of a catastrophic thigh injury, has suffered yet another significant blow with this setback. Napoli loses their leading scorer in Serie A and a vital midfield creative force with De Bruyne sidelined for an extended length of time. Conte may soon look to the transfer market to acquire reinforcements who can sustain Napoli’s title chances, as the team leads the league alongside AS Roma.
