Hamsik out of Slovakia squad

Napoli captain Marek Hamsik is out of the Slovakia squad, after having his tonsils removed this morning.

As a result the captain has decided to take action, but today’s operation has forced him to withdraw from the Slovakia squad.

“Marek Hamsik underwent a successful tonsillectomy this morning at the Clinica Ruesch in Naples,” a statement on Napoli’s official website reads.
