Cameroonian midfielder André-Frank Zambo Anguissa has returned to Napoli's squad for the match against Torino, marking the end of a five-month absence due to injuries. Anguissa, a key player for Napoli, had been sidelined since November with thigh and back problems, which also prevented him from participating in the 2025 AFCON in Morocco.
Although he will start the match on the bench, his presence in the squad is positive news for Napoli, who have gradually recovered one of their key midfielders. Coach Antonio Conte had mentioned that the medical team had not yet found a definitive solution to his back problem, making his return uncertain.
Anguissa's return is also good news for the Cameroonian national team, where he is considered a pillar. His ability to energize the game and his defensive solidity have been missed by Napoli during his absence.
Prior to this match against Torino, Napoli welcomed the return to full training of Anguissa, as well as Scott McTominay and Kevin De Bruyne. However, the team still has to contend with the absences of David Neres, Amir Rrahmani and Giovanni Di Lorenzo.
The match between Napoli and Torino will take place at the Stadio Maradona. Although Romelu Lukaku scored a decisive goal against Verona, he is expected to start on the bench, with Rasmus Hojlund expected to lead the attack.
Anguissa's gradual return is an asset for Napoli, who are looking to strengthen their midfield for the rest of the season. His experience and physical presence will be valuable to Antonio Conte's team.
Anguissa's participation in the collective training session represents a positive step in his recovery. Napoli and Cameroon national team fans will be closely monitoring his progress ahead of the next matches.
