Kevin De Bruyne returns to Napoli training today

Napoli are set to receive a massive boost ahead of the season’s final stretch as Kevin De Bruyne is scheduled to return to group training today following a grueling four-month layoff.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Belgian playmaker is finally back in Naples after spending several weeks in his home country undergoing specialized treatment. The recovery process has exceeded expectations, a fact that Antonio Conte himself recently admitted.

The manager’s cautious optimism has now turned into a concrete reality, with the midfielder having already returned to Italy a few days ago to finalize his fitness checks.

De Bruyne’s presence in today’s session with the rest of the squad marks a significant turning point for the Partenopei.

While the medical staff has been careful not to rush his rehabilitation, the progress is so encouraging that there is a genuine possibility he could be called up for the upcoming clash against Torino on Friday. For Conte, having his primary creative outlet available again could prove to be the decisive factor in Napoli’s push for the top spots in the closing weeks of the campaign.
