Napoli aces Rasmus Hojlund and Amir Rrahmani are reportedly at risk of missing Saturday’s Serie A match against Inter Milan.
According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, Antonio Conte remains hopeful of having his first-team stars back in action.
A minor muscle injury has prevented Ramsus Hojlund from featuring in Napoli’s last two games.
Indeed, he has been on the sidelines since scoring a winning goal against Genoa at the beginning of October.
Hojlund & Rrahmani Hoping to Recover for Napoli vs Inter Milan Clash
Hojlund was not available for selection on Tuesday when Napoli slumped to an embarrassing 6-2 defeat at PSV Eindhoven.
Instead, Lorenzo Lucca led the line in his absence, with Romelu Lukaku still on the sidelines with a long-term injury.
Therefore, Conte is desperate to have the Danish striker back for this high-stakes showdown against Inter.
Meanwhile, Rrahmani has missed Napoli’s last eight games due to a hamstring injury.
Alessandro Buongiorno and Sam Beukema have been Conte’s center-back pairing in his absence.
However, after conceding six times at the Philips Stadion, Conte would likely welcome the Kosovo international’s recovery.
