Zambo Anguissa's return to Napoli is not expected anytime soon

The Cameroonian international has a new problem, according to his coach.

Sidelined since November 2025 due to a muscle injury, Zambo Anguissa is not expected to rejoin his Napoli teammates anytime soon. Although it has often been reported that he is close to a return, the 30-year-old striker is far from seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

Anguissa has recovered from his muscle injury, Napoli's technical staff reassures us, but a new problem has arisen. The midfielder is now suffering from a mysterious back problem, Antonio Conte announced at a press conference ahead of the quarter-final match against Como in the Italian Cup. ‘Anguissa has a back problem and the doctors can't solve it.’

The Italian press is reporting that the Cameroonian has a lumbar hernia, which is causing reflexes and discomfort in his leg, preventing him from moving. As a result, he is not training with the team and could be out of action for a long time.
