AI summary

Alex Meret was withdrawn at half-time of Napoli's Champions League opener against Arsenal after reporting a muscle problem early in the first half. The goalkeeper attempted to play through the discomfort to avoid forcing Allegri into an early substitution, but eventually had to signal for help around the 36th minute.

Vanja Milinkovic-Savic replaced him at the start of the second half. Napoli's medical staff will assess Meret's adductor injury in the coming days, with scans to determine the severity and recovery timeline.
