Official: Napoli release Insigne medical update
Young Amadou Diawara did make it 2-1 by stroking away a penalty of his own, but it didn’t prove enough for Sarri’s men to go home with a point. Insigne was withdrawn in the second half due a thigh injury and the partenopei are sweating over the 26-year-old’s fitness. Club president Aurelio de Laurentiis said: “Insigne was taken off in a precautionary move against Manchester (City) match in the Champions League and he is receiving treatment for a thigh injury. We will assess him day by day.”
Napoli currently top the Serie A charts with 24 points, two points clear of Saturday’s opponents Inter Milan. Insigne’s absence could be key to the game at the Stadio San Paolo.
