Napoli defender Alessandro Buongiorno is set to miss the rest of the season due to a significant adductor injury sustained during a match against Torino. He left the pitch in the 64th minute, shortly after teammate Frank Anguissa's exit due to injury. The club confirmed Buongiorno's diagnosis and that he has begun rehabilitation. As a key player with 22 starts contributing to 14 wins and a solid defense, his absence will be felt as Napoli leads the Serie A standings ahead of crucial matches.
"Alessandro Buongiorno underwent instrumental tests today at the Pineta Grande Hospital, which revealed a destructive lesion of the long adductor muscle of the right thigh," Napoli said in a statement.
"Buongiorno has started all 22 of the Serie A games he has played in, contributing to 14 wins and 10 clean sheets," indicating his importance to the team.
"Napoli reclaimed the sole lead in the Serie A standings with that victory over Torino, sitting top on 74 points, three ahead of second-placed Inter."
