Alisson Santos suffers new injury after returning to play with SSC Napoli

Massimiliano Allegri, the manager of SSC Napoli, has suffered another blow after Brazilian winger Alisson Santos sustained a muscle issue during the match against Venezia, which ended in a defeat for Napoli by a goal to nil, in the seventh round of Serie A.

According to Italian network DAZN, Alisson Santos felt muscle pain during the closing minutes of the match after coming on as a substitute in the second half. This is an unfortunate development for the player, who recently returned to the coaching staff's plans after a period of absence due to injury.

Massimiliano Allegri spoke about the player's condition after the match, stating in his remarks to DAZN: "He had a minor problem at the moment of the shot, and we will see what happens." The Italian coach did not reveal the final diagnosis of the injury or the potential duration of the player's absence, pending a medical evaluation.

Alisson Santos had previously suffered from an injury to his left hamstring, which kept him out of action before he returned to SSC Napoli's squad. The new injury raises concerns within the team, especially with upcoming commitments, while the club has yet to announce the nature of the latest issue or a potential return date for the player.
