Forced off with muscle problem
Meret (muscle) was substituted at halftime of Napoli's Champions League opener against Arsenal due to a muscle problem, with Vanja Milinkovic-Savic replacing him, according to Gianluca Di Marizio.
Analysis: Meret suffered a muscle problem during Wednesday's match against Arsenal and was substituted at halftime, with Vanja Milinkovic-Savic coming on in his place. The Italian goalkeeper will undergo instrumental tests in the coming hours to determine the extent of the injury and possible recovery times. His availability therefore remains unclear until those tests provide more information, while his absence would leave Milinkovic-Savic as the replacement option after Meret started Napoli's first three Serie A matches.
Allows three goals to Inter
Meret made five saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-2 loss against Inter Milan.
Analysis: Meret's outstanding display between the posts was not enough for his team to avoid defeat in a well-played match. He improved on his previous output of saves for the second straight game while adding to a total of 11 shots stopped in three starts. With Napoli struggling to prevent goal attempts when facing tough opposition, Meret will likely be busy in the upcoming European matchup versus Arsenal before returning to league play for a more convenient clash with Bologna.
