Napoli defender Kostas Manolas will reportedly miss the second leg in the Coppa Italia against Atalanta and the League match against Juventus.

Il Mattino reports the Greek defender, who was replaced after 68 minutes in the 2-1 defeat to Genoa last weekend, seems set for two games out.

The report reveals Fabian Ruiz returns to the squad, but Manolas will miss the decider of the Coppa Italia semi-finals on Wednesday and should be out for the match against Juventus on Saturday too.

Manolas has played 22 competitive games this term and was part of a three-man defence that kept out Atalanta in the goalless draw from the first leg.

Coach Gennaro Gattuso could be forced to move away from the 3-4-3 formation he used against the Orobici at the Stadio Diego Maradona.
