Lorenzo Insigne's agent says that his client is "fine" after the Napoli forward was substituted with a knee problem in Saturday's Serie A clash with Juventus.

The agent of Lorenzo Insigne has played down fears that his client suffered a serious knee injury in Napoli's 2-1 win over Juventus at the weekend.

The Italian international was forced off in the latter stages of the first half and it had been claimed that he was facing another lengthy period on the sidelines.

The 24-year-old's representative Fabio Andreotti, however, has said that "the problem was only down to fatigue".

"Insigne is fine. During Napoli-Juventus he had swelling in his knee which caused him discomfort, and as a preventative measure he and the doctor decided he should stop," Andreotti told Radio Crc.

"Today he was with the rest of the squad, and we await the verdict of the doctor. [Club doctor Alfonso] De Nicola has ruled out further tests, because he's sure he's alright.

"Insigne's ligaments are solid, the knee is unharmed, the problem was only down to fatigue. There was concern, because he's been operated on [last season, for a cruciate ligament injury], but thankfully it's nothing serious."

Insigne opened the scoring in the 26th minute against Juventus.
