Stellini begs Napoli after new injuries: ‘We need more players’

After new injuries to Matteo Politano and Amir Rrahmani, Antonio Conte’s assistant Cristian Stellini begged Napoli. ‘We need more players. If some aren’t used, there is a reason…’

The Partenopei were feeling the pressure after three consecutive stalemates against Verona, Inter and Parma, which saw them slide down the table and further away from the leaders.

Stanislav Lobotka’s early goal proved enough to break down Sassuolo, the midfielder’s first goal in over three years, but it came at a cost.
