Dries Mertens is a serious doubt for Napoli ahead of tomorrow night’s Coppa Italia semi final second leg match at home to Inter according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Corriere dello Sport.
Napoli’s medical staff are to try and do everything to get the Belgian national team attacker available for the match but time is running out and it is running out very fast.
Mertens may not be the only big name absentee if he is unable to recover for the match either with the report from the Rome based news outlet going on to add that midfield duo Fabian Ruiz and Allan are doubtful too.
Greek central defender Kostas Manolas is meanwhile certain of missing out on the match at the Stadio San Paolo against Antonio Conte’s Nerazzurri side.
Napoli head into the fixture with a 1-0 lead over Inter from the first leg and the winner of the tie will face either Juventus or AC Milan in the final.
