Scott McTominay’s bizarre injury left Conte fuming after win

Scott McTominay scored his tenth goal of the season before suffering a bizarre injury in Napoli’s dramatic 3-2 win over Genoa.

Napoli kept their Scudetto hopes alive with a gritty comeback win, but a deepening injury crisis left manager Antonio Conte incensed.

Scott McTominay leveled the score with a brilliant long-range strike after Rasmus Hojlund’s equalizer, but the Scotsman was forced off at the interval.

Despite a late red card for Juan Jesus, Hojlund secured the points with a clinical 95th-minute penalty.

The victory was overshadowed by McTominay joining a crowded treatment room alongside Kevin De Bruyne and Frank Anguissa.

Faced with a depleted squad, a frustrated Conte reportedly vented his exasperation to the coaching staff on the sideline.

“I’ll have to play in a minute!” the Napoli boss exclaimed. The club now anxiously awaits fitness updates ahead of their upcoming Serie A fixtures.
