Meret was replaced by Vanja Milinkovic-Savic after showing distress in the first half, with the Italian goalkeeper appearing to struggle with an adductor issue to the inside of his left thigh. The precise nature of the problem has not been confirmed by Napoli.
This is an unwanted blow for Massimiliano Allegri, who had established Meret as his first-choice goalkeeper. The 28-year-old had started Napoli's opening three Serie A fixtures of the season against Genoa, Como, and Inter. Meret's availability for Napoli's upcoming fixtures will now depend on the results of his medical tests, which are scheduled to take place in the coming hours.
