Kevin De Bruyne sustains late injury in Napoli win against Bologna
Summary

Napoli secured a victory against Bologna on September 13, 2026, at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The win was tempered by a late injury to Kevin De Bruyne, who requested a substitution near the 90th minute following a challenge. The 35-year-old midfielder signaled to the bench himself, prompting immediate concern regarding the severity of his condition. Stanislav Lobotka scored for Napoli, with Favasuli providing an assist during the match. Massimiliano Allegri is expected to address the status of the player during post-match media obligations in the coming hours. De Bruyne has been a key component of the team since Allegri took over as coach from Antonio Conte this past summer.
