Dries Mertens could miss Napoli’s Serie A clash with Lazio this Saturday after the forward was diagnosed with an ankle sprain.

Mertens hobbled off during Napoli’s 2-0 win against Benevento on Sunday, and an official tweet confirmed the forward had sustained “a slight, grade-I strain to his left ankle.”

Consequently, the Belgian is a serious doubt for the upcoming visit of Lazio as such injuries tend to require 7-10 days of recovery.
