Napoli midfielder Stanislav Lobotka is reportedly at risk of missing a mouth-watering Serie A clash against Inter Milan later this month.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, Lobotka isn’t the only Partenopei star whose participation is in doubt.

The reigning Scudetto holders will entertain the Nerazzurri at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on October 25.

Despite Napoli’s three-point lead, this fixture already has all the makings of an early title six-pointer.

Therefore, both managers are keen to field their strongest lineups

Stanislav Lobotka came out bruised from Napoli’s last league match against Bologna.

Though Antonio Conte’s side fought back from a halftime deficit to win 2-1, they paid a heavy price.

Indeed, the diminutive midfielder could face up to three weeks on the sidelines.

As a result, he is at risk of watching Napoli’s home clash against Inter from the stands.

Worryingly for Conte, the same applies to ex-Inter winger Matteo Politano.

Injuries have been a recurring issue for the Italian star, who may join Lobotka in the treatment room.
