Napoli midfielder Anguissa is suffering from a thigh injury and is on the injury list alongside De Bruyne and Lukaku

Frank Anguissa is the third Napoli player to be sidelined with a long-term thigh injury.

Anguissa was injured on international duty with Cameroon and while initial reports appeared positive, Napoli released a statement on Thursday saying tests had revealed a “high-grade lesion to his left hamstring”.

Napoli has not indicated when Anguissa is expected back, but the 29-year-old midfielder is likely to be sidelined for three to four months.

Fellow midfielder Kevin De Bruyne and striker Romelu Lukaku are both out with similar injuries, with neither expected back until the new year.

Anguissa has scored four goals and two assists in fifteen games in Serie A and the Champions League this season.

The injury also rules him out of the Africa Cup of Nations, which starts next month.
