Napoli confirm Dries Mertens has returned to visit a specialist in Belgium, as his ankle injury has still not fully healed.
The striker sprained his left ankle during the defeat to Inter in mid-December and only recently made his comeback.
However, the problem flared up again and he has been playing through pain-killing injections.
A statement released by Napoli this evening confirms Mertens has flown back to Belgium for specialist treatment on his left ankle.
