Things have gone from bad to worse at Napoli, as Frank Anguissa got hurt while with Cameroon and has been diagnosed with a high-grade biceps femoris strain in his left thigh. He\u2019ll miss two to three months, La Gazzetta dello Sport<\/em> informs.<\/p>\n The star had arguably been the team\u2019s most consistent performer so far, having tallied 4 goals in 15 appearances, assisting once. The injury will also force him to sit out AFCON 2025.<\/p>\n Napoli continue to be plagued by major thigh injuries, as Anguissa has picked up a problem similar to those sustained by Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne. It appears that he won\u2019t require surgery.<\/p>\n The Partenopei<\/em> were already looking for a midfielder and have long been coveting Kobbie Mainoo. It\u2019s not clear whether Manchester United will let him go in January, though. They have also been routinely linked to Lorenzo Pellegrini. He has an expiring contract, but has been a regular.<\/p>\n The Azzurri<\/em> will expand their shortlist. They could throw their hat in the ring for Davide Frattesi, who\u2019s unhappy at Inter. Moreover, they could pursue Atalanta\u2019s Ederson, Genoa\u2019s Morten Frendrup, and Udinese\u2019s Arthur Atta.<\/p>\n He\u2019s arguably the one player they couldn\u2019t afford to lose, as he has unique traits in their squad. They should switch to a scheme with two holding midfielders together, allowing them to deploy Stanislav Lobotka and Billy Gilmour together and maintain the balance. Fielding Elijf Elmas and Scott McTominay as box-to-box would be limiting for both and probably too aggressive. They should definitely sign a hardworking contributor like Frendrup or Ederson, but linchpins come at a premium in January.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nOur Take on Napoli and Anguissa<\/h3>\n
