In Antonio Conte’s first Serie A match in charge of Napoli, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was substituted off due to a concerning injury just before halftime in the game against Hellas Verona.

The injury occurred during first-half stoppage time. Kvaratskhelia had sprinted past Verona’s goalkeeper, Lorenzo Montipo, but was stopped by a crucial tackle from Jackson Tchatchoua, who deflected the ball for a corner. Shortly after, Verona’s Pawel Dawidowicz seemed to unintentionally collide with Kvaratskhelia from behind.

Initially, the contact seemed minor, but Kvaratskhelia soon showed signs of discomfort, appearing dizzy before collapsing on the field. The referees then called for medical assistance, and after a brief on-field examination, Kvaratskhelia was escorted off the pitch. Giacomo Raspadori replaced him in the lineup.
