Napoli injury update: Politano and Zielinski in doubt for Milan clash | OneFootball

Walter Mazzarri’s Napoli are gearing up for an important Serie A clash with Milan but have fears regarding the fitness of two key players.

The Partenopei returned to winning ways in dramatic style on the weekend, edging out a 2-1 win over Hellas Verona after a sensational long shot from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the 87th minute. It was an important result after their recent loss to Inter and draw with Lazio.

Napoli’s first meeting with Milan this season was a tense affair, with the two teams sharing a point apiece after a thrilling 2-2 draw. The Rossoneri took a 2-0 lead thanks to veteran Olivier Giroud, but second half goals from Matteo Politano and Giacomo Raspadori salvaged a point for the Partenopei.

As announced by Napoli today, Piotr Zielinski and Matteo Politano both carried out individual exercises at their Castel Volturno training ground today, not working with their teammates.

Mathias Olivera and Alex Meret took a step forward in their recoveries, completing partial squad training before breaking off for individual work.
