The 2026/27 Serie A season is underway, and several clubs are managing important injuries as the campaign moves into October. Juventus have one of the league's longer injury lists, while Napoli have several players at different stages of rehabilitation.
There are also significant long-term absences at Bologna, Cagliari, Como, Fiorentina, Sassuolo and Venezia. In this tracker, I focus on confirmed first-team injuries, rehabilitation progress and useful return information.
When a club has not provided a reliable timetable, I leave the return date unconfirmed rather than guess. Suspensions and other non-injury absences are not included. This update reflects information checked through October 5, 2026.
1. AC Milan Injury Update
AC Milan's injury list has improved since the previous update, although Alexis Saelemaekers is currently being monitored.
1. Alexis Saelemaekers
Alexis Saelemaekers suffered a right-ankle sprain during training. Initial examinations reportedly ruled out more serious bone or ligament damage, but the winger remains a fitness concern ahead of Milan's return to Serie A action.
Status: Recovering from a right-ankle sprain.
Return: Being assessed ahead of the next league fixture.
Matteo Gabbia has returned to full training and is no longer included as an injured player. Rafael Leão and Santiago Giménez are no longer Milan players following their summer departures.

Return: No confirmed timetable.
Cagliari's October 2 squad information identified Deiola, Felici and Idrissi among the players unavailable through injury. Yerry Mina has returned to availability. Yael Trepy remains excluded because his absence is connected to a non-football medical issue rather than an injury.
5. Como 1907 Injury Update
1. Jayden Addai
Jayden Addai has suffered a new muscular injury after returning from his previous Achilles rehabilitation. The winger had progressed back into Como's matchday squad, but he subsequently suffered an injury while representing the Netherlands.
Medical examinations identified a lesion to the biceps femoris muscle in his right thigh. Como confirmed that he has begun treatment and that his recovery timetable will depend on his progress.
Status: Recovering from a right-hamstring injury.
Return: No exact competitive return date confirmed.
His previous Achilles injury is therefore no longer the relevant active problem.

Which Serie A Injuries Are the Most Serious?
Several Serie A players are facing lengthy rehabilitation programmes. The most significant current cases include:
Emil Holm — Bologna: Recovering from right-hamstring tendon surgery, with Bologna estimating approximately four to six months out.
Riyad Idrissi — Cagliari: Long-term rehabilitation following ACL reconstruction.
Mattia Felici — Cagliari: Recovering after ACL reconstruction and repairs to both menisci in his right knee.
Jayden Addai — Como: Recovering from a new right-hamstring injury after previously completing a lengthy Achilles rehabilitation.
Fabiano Parisi — Fiorentina: Continuing long-term ACL rehabilitation.
Joi Nuredini — Genoa: Continuing rehabilitation from an ACL injury.
Kenan Yildiz — Juventus: Recovering following surgery on a fractured fifth metatarsal.
Khéphren Thuram — Juventus: Rehabilitating after right-knee chondroplasty.
Manuel Locatelli — Juventus: Recovering following right-knee meniscus surgery.
Kamil Grabara — Juventus: Long-term rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction.
Alessandro Buongiorno — Napoli: Recovering following medial meniscus root surgery.
Ismaël Koné — Sassuolo: Continuing rehabilitation after serious lower-leg fractures.
Edoardo Pieragnolo — Sassuolo: Continuing ACL rehabilitation.
Gianluca Busio — Venezia: Recovering from a significant intratendinous hamstring injury.
Juventus currently stand out because several important players are recovering simultaneously, including Yildiz, Thuram, Locatelli, Boga, Ekhator, Cabal and Grabara.
Napoli also have a long medical list, although several of their players are much closer to returning than the league's long-term ACL and surgical cases.
Conclusion
The Serie A injury picture has changed considerably since the previous update. Juventus currently have one of the league's most difficult situations. Kenan Yildiz and Khéphren Thuram remain in rehabilitation after surgery, while Manuel Locatelli has undergone meniscus surgery and Kamil Grabara has started a long recovery following ACL reconstruction.
There have also been important new long-term injuries elsewhere. Bologna defender Emil Holm could be unavailable for four to six months following hamstring-tendon surgery, while Cagliari have Mattia Felici and Riyad Idrissi recovering from serious knee injuries.
Napoli's medical room remains busy, with Alessandro Buongiorno, Luca Marianucci, Scott McTominay, Giovane, Alex Meret, Leonardo Spinazzola, Alisson Santos, Frank Anguissa and Costantino Favasuli all requiring different levels of rehabilitation or medical management.
There is encouraging progress as well. Matteo Gabbia, Riccardo Orsolini, Oussama El Azzouzi, Yerry Mina, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Willem Geubbels have progressed enough to come off their previously established injury lists.
Several players are also close enough to returning that their status could change quickly once Serie A resumes. Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Ché Adams, Alex Meret, Giovane and Luca Marianucci are among those whose availability should become clearer before the next league fixtures.
This Serie A injury tracker reflects information checked through October 5, 2026. Where a club has not confirmed a return date, I have deliberately left the timetable open rather than relying on an unsupported estimate.
Serie A Injury Updates: Frequently Asked Questions
When did the 2026/27 Serie A season start?
The 2026/27 Serie A season began on Saturday, August 22, 2026, with the opening round running through August 24.

How often will I update this Serie A injury tracker?
I will update it when clubs confirm important injuries, surgeries, rehabilitation setbacks, or player returns. International breaks are particularly important because players can return to their clubs with new problems that require further medical assessment.
Why do some clubs have fewer injured players listed than other injury websites?
I only include players when there is sufficiently reliable evidence of an active injury or medical fitness issue.
A player is not kept on this list simply because an older injury database still marks him as unavailable. If there is reliable evidence that he has returned to full training, a matchday squad, or competitive action, I remove him.
Are return dates guaranteed?
No. Recovery timelines can change depending on medical assessments, rehabilitation progress, a player's response to increased training loads, and possible setbacks.
When a club gives only an estimated recovery period, I treat it as an estimate rather than a guaranteed return date. Where there is no reliable timetable, I leave the return date unconfirmed.
When is a player removed from the injury tracker?
I remove a player when there is reliable evidence that he has returned to competitive availability or when he is no longer with the club.
Players who have only just resumed individual or partial team training may remain listed until there is stronger evidence that they are ready for normal selection.
Are suspensions included?
No. This tracker focuses on injuries, rehabilitation, and medical fitness-related absences. Suspensions and disciplinary absences are not included.
