Key points
- Brazilian winger played over 84 minutes total this season, with longest spell at Fiorentina on Sunday
- Neres has six goals and a decade of assists since joining in 2024, still chasing double figures
- Allegri managing his comeback carefully after eight-month absence following January ankle surgery
Summary
David Neres offered glimpses of his best self in Napoli's trip to the Franchi, nearly breaking his season duck before setting up a chance that De Gea denied. The winger, deployed on the left by Allegri, has been gradually reintegrated after his long layoff, and the international break offers crucial time to build his fitness further.
When fully sharp, Neres becomes a different proposition for Napoli—a player capable of making the team unpredictable and dangerous in attack. His peak form last season, crowned by a brace in the Supercoppa, showed what he can deliver. Allegri is banking on rediscovering that version before the visit to Frosinone.
