Achilles injury leaves Raimondo in doubt for Napoli clash

Antonio Raimondo left the Italy Under-21 camp injured and returned to Frosinone, where scans confirmed insertional tendinopathy in his right Achilles tendon. He has begun his rehabilitation, but recovery time remains uncertain, and it now looks much more likely than not that he will miss the 10 October game at the Maradona.

Napoli go into that game ninth with 7 points from five matchdays, coming off a draw in Florence and searching for consistency after their worst start in ten years. Facing a Frosinone attack without its most prolific forward changes the terms of the game, even if other issues are dominating the conversation at Napoli right now.
