Napoli defender Faouzi Ghoulam suffered a muscle injury in training on Tuesday, the club has confirmed.
The severity of the injury has not been disclosed after undergoing a medical scan, but it comes as a setback for the Partenopei who just lost right-back Kevin Malcuit to a long-term injury on Sunday after he tore his anterior cruciate ligament.
Ghoulam has been subsequently dropped from the team that will face Atalanta on Wednesday at the Stadio San Paolo, and will be hoping to recover on time and fight for his place in Carlo Ancelotti's squad.
