Napoli striker Lorenzo Insigne is edging closer to returning to action.
Insigne has been working his way back from knee injury.
"These months were hard, suffering waiting, in pain and not just in the physical sense. But that's how it goes.
"I have a lot of people to thank [surgeon] Pier Paolo Mariani, those who stood by me, the club, the Coach, my teammates, my family.
"But when I was doing physical therapy, I was alone. I used to wonder: how long?
"I did it quickly, I gave it everything I had, and I still have other things to give, but I feel good and I'm ready."
