Neres subbed out at the 70th minute of Sunday's loss to Napoli after registering one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (three accurate) and two chances created because of an ankle injury, Sky Italy reported.

Neres was fairly dynamic but not as stellar as in previous fixtures and turned his ankle in a non-contact situation and was carried off the pitch by the medical staff. He's set for tests but faces a short turnaround ahead of Wednesday's game against Verona. The coach inserted Pasquale Mazzocchi and moved Matteo Politano to a more attacking role to manage the lead in this one. Noa Lang would be a more offensive option.
