Since the resignation of Athletic Trainer Francesco Sinatti in mid-July, Napoli have seen a handful of players suffer injury.
Mario Rui was removed in the first half of the club’s friendly against SPAL at Dimaro Folgarida . On Friday, Napoli confirmed that the full back suffered a first degree strain of the right rectus femoris muscle.
Meanwhile, according to the club’s training report, Stanislav Lobotka was removed prematurely on Friday after feeling pain in his left knee. The Slovakian midfielder was not in the starting XI for Napoli’s friendly against Hatayspor.
Eljif Elmas was not in the squad for the friendly either. Napoli confirmed on Saturday that the North Macedonian would not play in the match due to a thigh muscle strain.
