Napoli's decision to include Stanislav Lobotka in the starting lineup, despite his pre-existing ankle injury, could be a costly mistake for the team. Lobotka, who was expected to make a significant impact in the game against Genoa, was only able to stay on the field for 13 minutes before his injury forced him to limp off. This development raises concerns about the possible long-term effects of the risky decision to play an injured player. While the extent of the damage to Lobotka's ankle is yet to be determined, Napoli now faces the challenge of adjusting their strategy in his absence, as well as dealing with the potential repercussions of their decision.
