In their opening Serie A match, Napoli faced a 3-0 loss to Hellas Verona without Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen, who is anticipated to depart the club this summer amidst interest from Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.
Manager Antonio Conte chose not to include Osimhen in the lineup, awaiting the arrival of Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea.
The match took a turn for the worse when star midfielder Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was forced off due to a collision with an opponent before halftime.
After the break, Napoli struggled as Dailon Livramento scored the opening goal for Verona from close range.
Daniel Mosquera doubled Verona’s lead in the 75th minute with a calm finish. In stoppage time, Mosquera secured his brace, capitalizing on Napoli’s defensive lapse to seal a 3-0 victory for Verona.
