Undergoes ankle surgery Neres had surgery in London to assess a tendon problem in his ankle, Il Mattino reported.

Impact Neres visited with a couple of specialists after reinjuring his ankle in a recent cameo and elected to go under the knife rather than try conservative therapy. He's expected to miss three months. Napoli will lean on Giovane, Antonio Vergara and Elijf Elmas while Matteo Politano (thigh) is also on the mend and might opt to bring in another attacker following Noa Lang's exit.

Experiences setback in rehab Neres (ankle) "was progressing in training, but he still has some pain, so we decided to pump the brakes a little. He's doubtful for the Juventus and Chelsea matches, but we'll see...

Impact Neres will be re-evaluated later on, as he's not dealing with structural damage, but he might sit out three further fixtures because of an ankle sprain. Elijf Elmas, Noa Lang and Antonio Vergara will fill in since Matteo Politano (thigh) got hurt as well.

Still out Saturday Neres (ankle) won't be available Saturday out of an abundance of precaution, Mediaset reported.

Impact Neres was expected to be fit despite a lingering ankle injury, but the staff eventually decided not to rush him back, and he'll be re-evaluated ahead of Tuesday's UEFA Champions League game versus Copenhagen. Antonio Vergara is drawing a rare start next to Elijf Elmas, while Matteo Politano and Noa Lang are on the bench.

Available versus Sassuolo Neres (ankle) will be called for Saturday, but his minutes will continue to be watched closely, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Neres has avoided a significant setback after subbing in and out midweek and has been a full-go in training afterward. He's expected to be a bench option again. Two among Elijf Elmas, Matteo Politano, Noa Lang and Antonio Vergara will get the nod behind the striker. Neres has recorded five crosses (one accurate), five key passes and 18 crosses (five accurate) in his last five showings, with no goal contributions.

Impact Neres had an uneventful return and was unable to finish the game because he hasn't completely overcome the previous injury. His status will need to be monitored ahead of Saturday's game versus Sassuolo. Noa Lang and Matteo Politano started on the offensive wings in this one, while Elijf Elmas came off the bench.

Makes bench Wednesday Neres (ankle) is on the bench for Wednesday's clash against Parma.

Impact Neres is back on the bench for Wednesday's match against Parma after missing the previous two matches due to an ankle injury. The forward is a regular starter when healthy and is expected to reclaim his spot in the starting XI in upcoming matches, though the coaching staff is managing his minutes to avoid another setback. Noa Lang is starting in his place against Parma on Wednesday.

Probable for Lecce fixture Neres (ankle) is feeling better and should return Wednesday versus Lecce, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Neres has done more in training after sitting out the Inter game and will go through a game-day fitness test, but he has strong chances of returning from a two-match absence and would be in the mix with Matteo Politano, Elijf Elmas and Noa Lang in two roles in that event. Neres has posted five shots (one on target), five key passes and 17 crosses (five accurate) in his last four appearances.

Out against Inter Neres (ankle) will remain unavailable for Saturday's game versus Inter, Mediaset reported.

Impact Neres tried to give it a go in training late in the week but still felt some pain and won't be risked. Noa Lang substituted for him against Verona, but the coach could choose a more defensive-minded option in a more difficult match.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Escapes without serious consequences Neres has been diagnosed with a right ankle sprain with no ulterior damage, Napoli announced.

Impact Neres will sit out the midweek round against Verona but has a chance to recover for the crunch match against Inter later in the week, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed. Noa Lang, Miguel Gutierrez or Alessandro Buongiorno will replace him in the next game, as the coach can move a few pieces across the formation.

Impact Neres was fairly dynamic but not as stellar as in previous fixtures and turned his ankle in a non-contact situation and was carried off the pitch by the medical staff. He's set for tests but faces a short turnaround ahead of Wednesday's game against Verona. The coach inserted Pasquale Mazzocchi and moved Matteo Politano to a more attacking role to manage the lead in this one. Noa Lang would be a more offensive option.

Provides assist versus Juventus Neres created three scoring chances and assisted once to go with 12 crosses (two accurate) and six corners in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Juventus.

Impact Neres once again wreaked havoc on the wing and set up Rasmus Hojlund with a great feed after dancing through a defender on the right-hand side of the box. He set a new season high in crosses. He has started in four matches in a row following a few injuries and a schematic change and has taken full advantage of his increased playing time, posting multiple crosses in every appearance, accumulating 22 (six accurate) and recording two goals, 10 key passes and 12 corners. Instead, his streak of displays with two shots stopped at three.

Impact Neres scored his third goal of the season, all of which have come in the last two games, in his sixth start of the year. This is only the fourth time in all competitions this season that he has played more than 80 minutes, but is still waiting on a full 90-minute performance. He created three chances for the third time in all competitions.
