De Bruyne Back in Full Napoli Training, Torino Call-Up Under Consideration

Conte says he will select only players at peak condition, leaving any involvement to a late fitness call.

Overview

  • The Belgian has worked at full intensity with the group for the past two days, with on-field responses described as convincing.
  • He suffered a high‑grade tear of the right biceps femoris on October 25, underwent surgery, and completed more than four months of rehabilitation in Belgium.
  • A place in the squad for Friday’s match against Torino is viewed as possible, contingent on how he feels and Conte’s assessment.
  • André‑Frank Zambo Anguissa has rejoined group sessions and could return as a substitute, while Scott McTominay remains under day‑to‑day evaluation.
  • Before the layoff, De Bruyne logged 4 goals in 8 Serie A games and 2 assists in 3 Champions League outings, and his return is seen as a potential lift to Napoli’s top‑four bid.
