Kevin De Bruyne was the latest player sidelined and the talismanic midfielder will most likely not return until February after a serious thigh injury in Saturday’s 3-1 win over Inter Milan.

Frank Anguissa scored the only goal of the match at Lecce after Napoli goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic had saved a penalty from teenager Francesco Camarda.

Defending champion Napoli moved three points clear of Roma, which host Parma on Wednesday. AC Milan can close the gap back to one point if they win at Atalanta later.
