Alisson closes in on a return after Arsenal injury
The Brazilian winger has been out since 9 September, when he was hurt in Napoli's Champions League defeat at home to Arsenal; the international break could work in his favour ahead of Frosinone.
Alisson Santos's return is getting closer. The Brazilian winger has been sidelined since 9 September, when he was injured during Napoli's 0-1 home defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League (Odegaard scored the winner in the 75th minute). Eighteen days have passed, and he had not yet found his best form this season before the injury.
Signed permanently in the summer alongside Højlund for a combined €60m, Alisson joins the list of forwards head coach Allegri is waiting to have back: Neres has played just 84 minutes across five league games, while Napoli sit ninth on 7 points after the draw in Florence.
