Hojlund Exits With Suspected Hamstring Injury in Napoli’s 3-1 Win Over Atalanta

Napoli will assess a right hamstring issue after his 74th‑minute exit.

Overview

  • The Manchester United loanee left holding his right hamstring in the 74th minute and was replaced by Lorenzo Lucca.
  • Initial indications suggest he stopped before aggravating the problem, with a medical evaluation pending.
  • Antonio Conte’s options at striker remain stretched, with Romelu Lukaku still recovering and expected to return later this year.
  • The Dane had contributed to Napoli’s attacking play before going off, and Lucca provided energy and physical presence after coming on.
  • The injury capped a challenging week for Hojlund, who scored for Denmark in a 4-2 defeat to Scotland and drew criticism for congratulating Scott McTominay on social media.
