Faouzi Ghoulam had surgery on a fractured kneecap and despite reports of a year out, Napoli insist he’ll be back training in a month.
The Algeria international was on his way back to fitness after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament on November 2.
He sustained the latest setback in training, fracturing his right kneecap.
Although initially there were reports he could be out for up to a year, the official news from the club was much more reassuring.
