Elmas set to miss Napoli’s match against Cagliari due to injury conditions

Napoli winger, Eljif Elmas, may have sustained an injury in a recent training session, ahead of their Serie A match against Cagliari, according to a report from Napoli.

In an official statement, the club said, “Napoli trained this morning at the SSCN Konami Training Center, as they prepare for their match against Cagliari that’s scheduled for tomorrow at the Maradona Stadium at 18:00 for the 15th round of Serie A.” The team engaged in warm-ups, low hurdle drills, followed by technical work, and a half-field match before concluding with a tactical session.

The statement also mentioned that full-back Mario Rui underwent partially personalized training on the field, while Jhon Chancellor worked on tailor-made exercises in the gym. Crucially, however, Elmas did not participate in the training due to “a muscular discomfort to his left thigh”.

As such, it appears that Elmas might be a doubt for the crucial clash against Cagliari, which could potentially impact Napoli’s plans. The severity and implications of Elmas’ injury are expected to be clarified in the coming days.
