Napoli winger David Neres is likely to miss Saturday’s trip to Monza after picking up an injury in training.
Napoli released a statement on Friday saying: “David suffered a muscular injury at the end of today’s training session. His condition will be assess soon.”
Meanwhile, Neres will not be available for Napoli’s trip to Monza in Serie A on Saturday, April 19.
He has lined up as a starter in all of Napoli’s matches since then, and in nine matches leading up to his hamstring injury.
The last time Antonio Conte had to do without Neres through injury, he opted for a change in system to a 3-5-2, with Giacomo Raspadori partnering Romelu Lukaku in attack.
It remains to be seen whether the coach will opt for a change of shape again as a result of his injury, or whether he will play a different player in Neres’s starting position on the left wing. Raspadori would still be the leading candidate to come into the side if that were the case.

The last time he miss the game, coach Antonio Conte changed his formation to 3-5-2, with Giacomo Raspadori playing alongside Romelu Lukaku up front, but it is unclear whether that tactic will be use again for Saturday’s game.
This season, the 28-year-old Brazilian winger has scored two goals and provided six assists, helping Napoli to second place, three points behind Inter Milan.
