According to journalist Skira, Neres is considering undergoing ankle surgery and is expected to be sidelined for three months.
The reporter stated: "Neres is increasingly inclined to undergo surgery on the tendon in his left ankle. If this happens, he is expected to be out for three months. This would be a severe blow to Napoli's Serie A title hopes. "
Neres suffered an ankle injury during the match against Lazio on January 4, missed two matches afterward, returned to play against Parma, and then missed another two games.
