Napoli coach Allegri said after his team's 1-2 home defeat to Como that the team's defensive performance was "too weak", while also revealing that McTominay is dealing with a foot blister that has affected both training and match performance.

Allegri told DAZN after the match: "Sometimes we play too poorly, but on the other hand, we also created many chances. We need to learn when to keep possession and when not to. Technically, we made many passing errors."

"The main issue is that we are too weak defensively when conceding, especially on the second goal. You cannot allow your opponent two scoring chances within 20 seconds."

On the team's injury situation, Allegri revealed that De Bruyne's condition is improving, but McTominay continues to be affected by a foot blister: "De Bruyne is progressing better. One thing we must improve is to concentrate more defensively. Before the first half ended, when our opponent had a corner or a shooting opportunity, we had to make sure we went into halftime at 1-1. McTominay has a foot blister, so his training load has been limited. We hope to get him back to his best form as soon as possible. Neres has played well. Neres hasn't played for eight months. It's not easy to return at this stage of the season."

On the two difficult upcoming matches against Inter Milan and Arsenal, Allegri emphasized: "Inter Milan and Arsenal will not determine the trajectory of Napoli's entire season. Today we played too poorly, and that is an issue that needs to be addressed."
