28-Year-Old
Napoli
Serie A
OUT
Injury Ankle
Est. Return 1/25/2026
Experiences setback in rehab
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.
ANALYSIS
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to complete Napoli move
David Neres is expected to sign with Napoli before the end of the summer transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.
ANALYSIS
The deal is set to be completed sooner rather than later, and Neres will add another attacking option for the Serie A club. Neres had a falling out with the coaching staff at Benfica, so he's eager to start a new chapter of his career in Italy.
