Di Lorenzo Out of Napoli's Lazio Game

Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo will not be available for Sunday's match against Lazio. Tests on his left thigh revealed a strain in the long adductor muscle. Following scans at the Pineta Grande Hospital, Di Lorenzo has begun rehabilitation. The club has not made a statement about how long his recovery will take.

The match will kick off at 12:30 CET on Sunday at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. Napoli lost to Porto in the Champions League on Wednesday and sit 10th in the league with 14 points. For Massimiliano Allegri, this is another blow.

Stanislav Lobotka is out for about six weeks on the injury list. Alessandro Buongiorno, Benoit Badiashile, Leonardo Spinazzola, David Neres, Costantino Favasuli and Alisson Santos are also sidelined. On the other hand, Mathías Olivera has returned to full training and is ready for the weekend.

Lazio top the table, and Gennaro Gattuso's side opened a three-point gap last week after beating Cagliari 2-1. Napoli are 14 points behind the leaders. The international break will give Di Lorenzo extra time to recover.
