Napoli full-back Leonardo Spinazzola didn’t train with the rest of the team today because of a mild strain in the hamstring of his right thigh and will miss Sunday’s away game at Fiorentina.

Napoli continue to struggle with injuries as Italian left-back Spinazzola has added to the list of unavailable players for their next match against Fiorentina.

Spinazzola injury concern for Napoli

Napoli said in a statement on Friday that the experienced defender didn’t train with the rest of the team today because of a mild strain in the hamstring of his right thigh.

According to several sources, including Il Mattino and Sky, this means the Italy international won’t be available when Napoli visit Fiorentina next Sunday at 12:30 CET [11:30 BST].

Frank Zambo Anguissa also continued to train separately, Napoli said, making him very unlikely to be eligible for the upcoming away game.

Alessandro Buongiorno, Luca Marianucci, Scott McTominay, Giovane, Alex Meret and Alisson Santos will also miss the trip to Florence.

Napoli returned to winning ways last weekend, beating Bologna 1-0 at the Stadio Maradona. The Partenopei had lost the previous three games across all competitions.
