Napoli’s centre-back Alessandro Buongiorno is on the verge of making his comeback after being sidelined since mid-December due to injury. The upcoming match against Roma at the Olimpico Stadium could see the Italian defender return to action, potentially from the bench.
Gazzetta dello Sport report that despite Antonio Conte’s appeal, the away fixture in Rome remains off-limits for Napoli fans residing in Campania. This restriction will be in place for Sunday’s game against Ranieri’s team and will continue for the match against Lazio two weeks later. Lazio has already defeated Napoli twice this season, eliminating them from the Coppa Italia and securing a victory at the Maradona Stadium.
For Napoli supporters, unrestricted away travel might resume from the Como match, the last game in February before the big clash against Inter Milan.
Buongiorno, who has been training with the group since last week, is working on regaining his muscle tone following a fracture to the transverse processes of two lumbar vertebrae. While his return to the bench for the Roma game is possible, the final decision will be made on a day-to-day basis.
The team is set to resume training at Castel Volturno with a double session tomorrow, following a three-day rest period. This new schedule, implemented by Conte, can be seen as a reward for the team’s recent positive results.
