Overview

• A club statement says Stanislav Lobotka has a right adductor lesion and Matteo Politano has a right gluteus maximus lesion.
• Both players limped off in the 2-1 win over Genoa, prompting in-depth medical tests.
• Neither is expected back for at least a month, with absences projected for matches against PSV, Inter and Eintracht Frankfurt.
• Lobotka was sent home by Slovakia after federation tests, while Politano was withdrawn from Italy duty.
• Earlier estimates of three to four weeks have given way to a longer timeline, tightening Antonio Conte’s options across competitions.
