Napoli confirmed that midfielder Jens Cajuste suffered a minor knee injury in their 1-0 loss away to Juventus.
The Partenopei put up a fight at the Allianz Stadium on Friday night but were unable to make a dent in Massimiliano Allegri’s pragmatic Bianconeri, who worked hard to edge out a 1-0 victory. It was the defending champions’ third consecutive loss.
Walter Mazzarri is still in the early stages of his tenure at Napoli but will have to start turning things around soon, tasked with securing a top four finish with the team. A positive result against Braga on Tuesday will confirm their spot in the Champions League knockout stages, giving them a slight boost.
As confirmed today, Cajuste carried out a personalised session in the gym at Napoli’s training ground today, having suffered a sprained knee during his brief appearance against Juventus on Friday.
He could miss the match against Braga, but the injury isn’t too serious and he could be back in the squad for the clash with Cagliari on December 16.
