David Neres Returns to Napoli Squad for Crucial Pisa Match

Brazilian winger David Neres has been included in Antonio Conte’s Napoli squad for the upcoming away match against Pisa, marking his return after more than four months sidelined due to injury. Neres suffered an Achilles tendon issue requiring surgery following a match against Lazio in early January 2026. Although he has rejoined the team, reports indicate he is unlikely to start and may only feature as a substitute depending on his physical condition and the game's progression. This return provides a significant boost to Napoli as they aim to mathematically secure their qualification for next season's Champions League. A victory against the already-relegated Pisa at the Cetilar Arena would guarantee their spot in Europe's elite competition. The match is considered a must-win fixture for the Partenopei. Neres was in excellent form before his injury, making his availability a timely asset for Conte’s final campaigns of the season.
