David Neres
NAP
Will continue to miss time
Neres (knee) hasn't logged any minutes in the preseason, as he's recovering and working on his fitness after undergoing a regenerative treatment early in the summer, Tuttomercatoweb relayed.
Analysis: Neres is practicing on grass, but not yet with the rest of the group, although he's reportedly making good progress. He'll be unavailable versus Genoa this week, while he has a better chance of being called up for the second or third round. Matteo Politano, Alisson Santos, Antonio Vergara and Giovane are the other options on the wings.
Ends campaign on the shelf
Neres (ankle) isn't an option for Sunday's tilt versus Udinese.
Analysis: Neres won't be brought back despite being cleared two weeks ago and will look to properly ramp up during the summer. He had been pretty good before getting hurt, scoring three goals, providing four assists and adding 20 shots (seven on target), 27 chances created and 66 crosses (17 accurate) in 22 showings (12 starts).
Absent for Pisa match
Neres (ankle) is unavailable for Sunday's fixture versus Pisa.
Analysis: Neres reportedly traveled with the team to Pisa but isn't listed on the game-day squad list. It remains to be seen whether he'll be selected for the season finale, but he'd be a long shot to get minutes regardless following a multi-month absence.
Recuperates from serious ankle problem
Neres (ankle) has been working regularly with the rest of the group this week and has strong chances to be selected for Sunday's Pisa game, La Gazzetta dello Sport relayed.
Analysis: Nes hasn't played since mid-January after spraining his ankle and aggravating it later on, necessitating surgery. He might not be deployed, but he's been able to heal up before the end of the campaign. Alisson Santos has absorbed his minutes for the most part. He has tallied five shots (one on target), five key passes and 18 crosses (five accurate) in his last five appearances (all starts), with no goal contributions.
