Neres (ankle) "was progressing in training, but he still has some pain, so we decided to pump the brakes a little. He's doubtful for the Juventus and Chelsea matches, but we'll see. Ideally, we shouldn't rush him back," Napoli doctor Raffaele Canonico stated.

Neres will be re-evaluated later on, as he's not dealing with structural damage, but he might sit out three further fixtures because of an ankle sprain. Elijf Elmas, Noa Lang and Antonio Vergara will fill in since Matteo Politano (thigh) got hurt as well.
