The list of muscle injuries among Serie A teams this season: Napoli leads the list with 11 times, Milan has 8 times and Inter Milan has 4 times

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Napoli is the Serie A team with the most muscle injuries this season.

This week, Napoli's main midfielder Anguissa suffered a serious injury to his left thigh biceps with the Cameroon national team. The media expects him to be absent for three months. This is the 11th muscle injury that Naples has suffered this season, the most among all Serie A teams. Lukaku has yet to return after suffering a serious muscle injury in August this year, Rahmani suffered a biceps femoris injury, and goalkeeper Meret also suffered from muscle pain. Later, Buongiorno, Lobotka, Politano, Hoylen, Gilmour, and Spinazzola suffered muscle injuries one after another. De Bruyne even seriously injured his biceps femoris when taking a penalty kick. He has already undergone surgery and will not be able to return until February next year at the earliest.

Atalanta ranks second with 10 muscle injuries. In September this year, Scalvini, Decatrare, Zalewski, Sheehan, Bellanova, and Cosunu were all absent due to muscle injuries. In October, Scalvini suffered a muscle injury for the second time, and De Jongen and Maldini also suffered muscle strains. In November, Brescianini suffered a muscle injury and missed Atlanta's away Champions League game against Marseille.

Milan has 8 muscle injuries, namely Leo (calf), Maignan (calf), Pavlovic (left leg flexor), Tomori (adductor), Salle Marcos (flexor), Pulisic (biceps femoris), Rabiot (calf), and Loftus-Cheek. Milan is tied for third with Genoa and Lazio.

Inter Milan has only had 4 muscle injuries this season, but most of them occurred in October, namely Thuram (biceps femoris), Damian (gastrocnemius), Palacios (rectus femoris), and Mkhitaryan (semitendinosus).

The Serie A team with the fewest muscle injuries is Fiorentina. Only Duoduo and Gosens have suffered muscle injuries this season. However, Florence is currently at the bottom of the Serie A standings, which shows that the team's poor performance is not due to injuries.
