Napoli have suffered an injury blow with the news that midfielder Walter Gargano requires surgery on a fractured cheekbone.
The 30-year-old opted to turn down a call-up to the Uruguay squad during this international break to continue training with the Vesuviani, where he is back in the first-team picture after two years away.
However, in the run-up to visiting his former side Inter on Sunday, Napoli report that the player has suffered a setback.
“Fractured right cheekbone for Walter Gargano,” the club’s official website states today.
