The outcome of the tac to which David Ospina was subjected is negative. In the next few hours, the Napoli goalkeeper will be transferred from the San Paolo hospital to the Pineta Grande clinic in Castel Volturno, a facility very close to the club's sports center, where it will remain under observation for the next 24 hours. If complications do not arise, the player will be released on Tuesday morning. Ospina suffered a head injury following the game clash with Pussetto. On impact, the goalkeeper was hit in the forehead by the Udinese attacker's knee and remained on the ground, in a confused state.

THE GREAT FEAR - After the treatment it seemed that Ospina could resume playing and - having the ok of the medical doctor, Alfonso De Nicola - the goalkeeper resumed his place among the posts. But the big scare came in the 41st, when people started screaming to stop the game. Ospina was on the ground, lifeless, a few meters outside the penalty area. The medical staff rushed to provide first aid, while an ambulance was alerted for transport to the hospital, where the player arrived in red code. "It was a hypotensive crisis, resulting from the head injury in the 5th game, with blood loss, but without losing consciousness", tweeted Napoli after the game to explain the dynamics of the incident. Jessica, his wife, also arrived to assist Ospina, who had followed the dramatic accident from the tribune, where he was in the company of other companions of the biancazzurri players. Tomorrow, the goalkeeper will undergo new tests to have the final confirmation of what was diagnosed by the first tac and, that is, that it was a head injury of little gravity but will not allow him to fly to Colombia to answer the summons of his own National team, engaged in two matches next week.

THE DOCTOR CLARIFIES - On the accident of Ospina the social doctor, Alfonso De Nicola, intervened who explained the dynamics of the relief: "He never lost consciousness either at the first impact or after. He will be under observation, will be transported to the Clinic Pineta Grande also for a matter of our convenience: he immediately did a TAC with a negative response and other analyzes, including those of the blood: the player is fine He asked not to be replaced, we were waiting for the end of the first half to better suture the cut to the scalp. It has lost so much blood: perhaps for this reason it has had this drop in pressure, I also believe in a matter of emotion ".
