Kevin De Bruyne Injures Hamstring Scoring Penalty Napoli Inter Milan Clash

Kevin De Bruyne scored a penalty for Napoli against Inter Milan in a crucial Serie A match that would put Napoli at the top of the table. However, immediately after converting the spot kick, De Bruyne suffered a serious hamstring injury and had to be substituted, cutting his celebration short and forcing an early exit from the game. This injury is particularly concerning given De Bruyne's recent history with hamstring problems, including major surgery in the summer of 2023 and recurring issues that sidelined him for much of the season. Napoli ultimately won the match 3-1, with De Bruyne watching from the bench after being heavily bandaged. The Belgian midfielder had been having a productive start to the season, contributing four goals and two assists in eleven appearances across all competitions for Napoli. Napoli's coach Antonio Conte had insisted on De Bruyne taking the penalty despite another player being ready, highlighting the midfielder's importance to the team.
