Napoli star Kevin De Bruyne was subbed off in an away game against Juventus with a sprained ankle, while Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Weston McKennie suffered adductor injuries.
Juventus and Napoli had to make several substitutions during their meeting at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday night.
Napoli’s De Bruyne and Di Lorenzo were substituted at half-time, both due to fitness problems. Sky Sport Italia reports that De Bruyne suffered a sprained ankle, while Di Lorenzo picked up an adductor injury.
Gazzetta reports that Juventus midfielder McKennie also suffered an adductor injury and was replaced at half-time.
Juventus ultimately won 2-0, with goals from Kerim Alajbegovic and Jeremie Boga in the second half.
Both Juventus and Napoli have a tight fixture list, with two more games coming up in the next seven days.
Napoli will visit Porto in the Champions League next Wednesday before hosting Lazio in Serie A next Sunday.
Juventus, meanwhile, will visit AZ in the Europa League next Thursday, then travel to Fiorentina on Sunday.
