Napoli, Di Lorenzo injury: adductor muscle strain confirmed

Napoli captain Di Lorenzo has a left adductor muscle strain and will miss several weeks, including Sunday's match against Lazio.

Giovanni Di Lorenzo has been ruled out with a distractive lesion of the left adductor longus muscle. The Napoli captain was substituted at half-time during the recent Juventus match and had already missed the Champions League trip to Porto. Medical tests at Pineta Grande Hospital confirmed the injury, and Di Lorenzo has begun his rehabilitation programme. He will miss the big match against Lazio on Sunday and is likely to be sidelined for several weeks, adding to Napoli's mounting injury list under Allegri.
