Seven injuries hit Napoli as Allegri weighs a back three for Frosinone

📰 Napoli face an injury crisis as Serie A returns, with seven players unavailable. 📌 Key points 🚑 According to Goal Italia, Napoli have seven players injured. 🦵 Antonio Vergara is out for several weeks with a calf muscle injury. 🇺🇾 Mathías Olivera returned from Uruguay duty with a muscle injury. 🧩 Massimiliano Allegri has reportedly considered switching to a 3-4-2-1. 🏟️ Napoli host Frosinone on 10 October. 📝 What happened 🚑 Goal Italia lists seven players in the treatment room: Vergara, Alisson Santos, Buongiorno, Favasuli, Anguissa, Olivera and McTominay. Italy debutant Vergara has a calf muscle injury and, according to Football Italia, faces three to four weeks out. 🇺🇾 Olivera returned from Uruguay with a low-grade muscle injury in the groin area. TuttoNapoli reports that right-sided option Favasuli will not be back before November. 🧩 Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Allegri has been considering a switch from a back four to a 3-4-2-1, with Rasmus Højlund up front and Kevin De Bruyne and David Neres behind him. 🔄 But with wide players Olivera and Favasuli missing, local reports suggest the usual 4-3-3 is more likely this weekend. Scott McTominay is back in training after his heart procedure but is not expected to start straight away. 📊 By the numbers • Players injured: 7 (Goal Italia) • Vergara's expected absence: 3-4 weeks • Favasuli's return: not before November • Frosinone at home: 10 October, 20:45 local time 🔭 Why it matters Allegri's Napoli have made a poor start, so the first game after the break matters. Short of bodies to the point of rethinking his system, Allegri will look for a response at home to Frosinone on 10 October.
