Napoli Goalkeeper Alex Meret Set for Return Next Week Following Lengthy Injury Lay Off

Carlo Ancelotti will welcome goalkeeper Alex Meret into his active squad after the international break, with Napoli announcing that the player has been given the green light and can resume playing after an arm injury suffered in training.

The stopper moved to Naples from Udinese for a reported €35m during the summer but broke a bone in his arm during his first practice session with his new team. Having missed all of their matches so far this season, the 21-year-old is now set to return to active duty but could find it hard to displace an in-form David Ospina.
