What happened. Kevin De Bruyne signalled to the Napoli bench and asked to be substituted shortly before the 90th minute of the win over Bologna. The problem occurred after a challenge, and the extent of the injury is not yet clear.

De Bruyne requested the change himself rather than being withdrawn tactically.
The speed of his request is what has caused concern at Napoli.
Stanislav Lobotka was the standout performer and scored, assisted by Favasuli.

Massimiliano Allegri is likely to be pressed on De Bruyne's condition in his post-match media duties.
