Politano’s Availability for Napoli’s Clash with Venezia in Question

Napoli’s key player Matteo Politano was absent from the team’s recent training session, raising concerns about his fitness for the upcoming Serie A fixture against Venezia on Sunday, December 29. The winger, who has been a crucial part of Antonio Conte’s squad, is reportedly suffering from flu-like symptoms.

The club’s medical staff will closely monitor Politano’s condition in the days leading up to the match against Eusebio Di Francesco’s Venezia, who are coming off a confidence-boosting home victory against Cagliari. Should Politano be unavailable, David Neres could potentially step in to fill his role.

Meanwhile, Kvicha Kvaratskhelia is expected to return to the starting lineup on the left wing after recovering from a minor medial collateral ligament injury. The Georgian international’s comeback could provide a significant boost to Napoli’s attacking options as they look to maintain their strong form in the league.
