Il Corriere dello Sport reports the 33-year-old will most likely be out against Crotone when Serie A returns after the current international break, but the rest this weekend should see him fit for battle when the Partenopei travel to face Juventus.

Juventus-Napoli, scheduled for October last year, will be recovered next week and the Azzurri currently sit two points behind the Old Lady in the battle for top four in Italy.
