Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret is taking longer than expected to recover from injury and there are still major question marks over his contract extension.<\/p>\n

The shot-stopper limped off during the 0-0 draw with Juventus on September 21 and was diagnosed with a Grade 2 adductor longus strain in his left thigh.<\/p>\n

It was believed that he would be out of action for circa a month, but the situation seems to be more serious than at first thought.<\/p>\n

Latest Meret tests are not reassuring<\/h2>\n

According to Calciomercato.com, Meret is still not back in training and new tests showed the muscle has not healed as quickly as they would\u2019ve hoped.<\/p>\n

He is therefore likely to miss out on the next Serie A games against Empoli and Lecce too, leaving the gloves to Elia Caprile.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the same source also notes that negotiations to extend his contract have hit problems and time is running out.<\/p>\n

Both the club and goalkeeper are eager to stick together, but his deal only lasts until June 2025 and he will soon be able to negotiate with other clubs.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old was a big investment at \u20ac26m when making the transfer from Udinese in 2019, following an initial loan spell.<\/p>\n
