Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain is having surgery at the Sedes Sapientiae clinic, but it’s very unlikely he’ll be able to face Napoli.
The striker missed last night’s win over Crotone, having broken the third metacarpal on his left hand.
Should Pipita fall on or take a blow to the finger it could make the injury worse, so he’s undergoing surgery this evening.

According to Sky, there is still some hope that he could make a miraculous recovery to face the Partenopei on Friday, but it’s more likely he’ll be back for Olympiakos in the Champions League next week.
The 29-year-old has 10 goals and four assists so far this season, but is a hate figure in Naples after leaving the San Paolo to move to Turin in the summer of 2016.
