Kvaratskhelia’s Recovery: Napoli Hopeful for Genoa Clash

Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, Napoli’s Georgian winger, is showing promising signs of recovery as he eyes a return for the upcoming match against Genoa. The talented player has recently participated in most of the team’s training session, just over a week after suffering a minor injury to his right knee’s medial ligament.

Napoli’s medical staff is expressing optimism regarding Kvaratskhelia’s availability for the game scheduled on Saturday, December 21. This rapid recovery comes as a surprise, as initial assessments following medical examinations suggested he might be sidelined for approximately a month. The final decision on his inclusion in the squad and potential starting role will be made by Antonio Conte’s coaching staff in the coming days, considering it’s been only 11 days since the injury occurred on December 11.

Kvaratskhelia has been a key player for Napoli this season, missing only one Serie A match against Udinese due to injury. He has started 14 out of 15 league games, contributing an impressive five goals and three assists. Additionally, he featured in two Coppa Italia matches against Modena and Palermo, although he didn’t find the net in those encounters.

The potential return of Kvaratskhelia would be a significant boost for Napoli as they continue their campaign in Serie A and cup competitions.
