Napoli midfielder Kevin De Bruyne underwent successful surgery on a hamstring injury he suffered during the 3-1 win over Inter Milan, the Serie A club said on Wednesday.
De Bruyne suffered the injury when he scored the opening goal of the match from the penalty spot. The Belgium international immediately grabbed the back of his right thigh before being helped off the pitch.
Scans later revealed a “high-grade lesion to the biceps femoris muscle,” prompting the need for surgical intervention.

«As planned, Kevin De Bruyne underwent surgery today in Antwerp after a serious injury to his right thigh muscle, biceps femoris,» Napoli said in a statement.
«The operation was a great success. De Bruyne… will continue the first phase of his post-operative rehabilitation in Belgium.»
Napoli gave no timetable for the 34-year-old’s return. De Bruyne has a history of hamstring problems and also underwent surgery in 2023 while at Manchester City.
Serie A leader Napoli will host seventh-placed Como on Saturday.
