Bad news has hit the Kosovo National Team and Napoli, as center back Amir Rrahmani has almost missed the season due to injury.

The season of Amir Rrahmani, the key point of Napoli's Kosovo defense, is practically over.

If all goes well, Antonio Conte may only have him available for the final games of the season at the end of May.

The player underwent tests today at Pineta Grande Hospital, and the results were serious: a high-grade tear in the femoral biceps of his left thigh, and he is expected to be out for 8-10 weeks.

The same injury as Kevin De Bruyne and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, for example.

The fact that none of them have yet returned clearly shows the seriousness of the problem.

Rrahmani was injured during the match against Roma while attempting to tackle Esley and even caused the penalty that Donyell Malen converted into a goal.

The club has announced that he has already started rehabilitation.

In addition to Napoli, this is also bad news for the Kosovo national team, as he will not be part of the World Cup play-off matches in March.

On March 26, Kosovo will play Slovakia as a guest, in the semi-finals of the "play-off", and in case of victory, will play in the final, against Turkey or Romania, on March 31 in Pristina./Express newspaper/
