Napoli has officially announced that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been diagnosed with an adductor muscle contracture. According to reports from Sky Sport Italia, the Georgian player will not be able to participate in the upcoming match against Atalanta on Saturday.

Kvaratskhelia sustained a muscle injury during Georgia’s recent victory over Greece. While the match marked a historic moment for Kvaratskhelia and his fellow countrymen, securing their qualification for the European Championship for the first time, it also brought unfortunate news for Napoli. The club confirmed Kvaratskhelia’s adductor injury through an official statement issued on Thursday.

Following his return from international duty, Kvaratskhelia underwent medical examinations, revealing a significant adductor muscle contracture in his left thigh, as stated by Napoli. The player has since been undergoing gym sessions and receiving treatment to address the issue.

Despite his desire to compete against Atalanta, reports suggest that Kvaratskhelia’s participation is highly unlikely. Napoli’s medical staff are expected to advise against risking further injury, leading to the probable exclusion of the 23-year-old from Saturday’s crucial Serie A encounter against Atalanta.
