OUT
Injury Ankle
Est. Return 4/26/2026
Undergoes ankle surgery
Neres had surgery in London to assess a tendon problem in his ankle, Il Mattino reported.
ANALYSIS
Neres visited with a couple of specialists after reinjuring his ankle in a recent cameo and elected to go under the knife rather than try conservative therapy. He's expected to miss three months. Napoli will lean on Giovane, Antonio Vergara and Elijf Elmas while Matteo Politano (thigh) is also on the mend and might opt to bring in another attacker following Noa Lang's exit.

Neres (ankle) "was progressing in training, but he still has some pain, so we decided to pump the brakes a little. He's doubtful for the Juventus and Chelsea matches, but we'll see. Ideally, we shouldn't rush him back," Napoli doctor Raffaele Canonico stated.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to complete Napoli move
David Neres is expected to sign with Napoli before the end of the summer transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.
ANALYSIS
The deal is set to be completed sooner rather than later, and Neres will add another attacking option for the Serie A club. Neres had a falling out with the coaching staff at Benfica, so he's eager to start a new chapter of his career in Italy.
