Napoli’s team doctor says Faouzi Ghoulam could return to the match day squad in as little as six weeks.
The Algerian international was expected to be out until mid-October after fracturing his knee cap, and he returned early from holiday for tests on the joint.
Professor Pier Paolo Mariani of the Villa Stuart clinic assured that things were progressing well, and it now appears Ghoulam could return to action next month.

“I heard from doctor Mariani after the check-up and he said everything is going very well, and that we can intensify the program if we want to,” Alfonso De Nicola told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.
“There will be a new check-up next month to give the Coach the right to use him, then of course the lad needs to find top physical condition and that could take time.
“It’ll be at least six weeks before he can work with the group, but if he does well in his physical preparation he could even be available to be called-up.”
