After the problem with an adductor suffered on Saturday during the match against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium, which forced him to leave the pitch during the first half, Alex Meret is waiting for the final answers from the latest instrumental tests, scheduled for today. Without a shadow of a doubt, the goalkeeper will not be in the match against Palermo valid for the round of 32 of the Coppa Italia. The changeover with Caprile in the national trophy would probably have happened even if Meret had not been injured, but at this point there is absolute certainty.
Not just the Italian Cup?
According to what was reported by Corriere dello Sport, the real risk is that Meret will miss first of all the next league match against Monza, scheduled for Sunday again at Fuorigrotta, and then also the one on Friday 2 October against Como, the third home match in a row and also the last before the break for the national team’s commitments.
Chance Caprile.
On Saturday at the Stadium, Meret was forced to leave the pitch in the 36th minute of the first half: he himself asked to be substituted and in his place came Elia Caprile, in his first season and debuting with Napoli after his experience with Empoli last season. On Thursday, the 23-year-old goalkeeper from Verona will also make his debut at the Maradona. From the first minute.
