Dries Mertens limped off during this evening’s Serie A trip to Benevento and the initial reports suggest a sprained ankle for the Napoli star.
The Belgian had opened the scoring at the Stadio Vigorito, twisting and turning to create space before dinking a delightful finish over Christian Puggioni into the far top corner.
Berat Djimsiti was booked for the crunching tackle from behind, in which he appeared to tread on the back of Mertens’ left ankle.

However, as the ankle has not yet swollen up, they hope it will not be a serious issue.
