Napoli will be without Faouzi Ghoulam against Atalanta tomorrow after the left-back picked up a muscle injury.
Napoli confirmed on the eve of Atalanta’s visit to the San Paolo that Ghoulam suffered “a muscular problem” in training and was therefore unavailable.
The Algerian recovered from two serious knee injuries in October 2018 and had played in five of the Partenopei’s eight Serie A games so far this season.
However, there is a theory gaining traction that Carlo Ancelotti simply no longer rates him.

The Partenopei have also lost fellow full-backs Kevin Malcuit and Elseid Hysaj to injuries, although Mario Rui has been passed fit.
Nikola Maksimovic is also back in the heart of defence, but Kostas Manolas needs a little longer to recuperate.
Napoli squad to face Atalanta: Allan, Callejon, Di Lorenzo, Elmas, Fabian, Gaetano, Insigne, Karnezis, Koulibaly, Llorente, Lozano, Luperto, Maksimovic, Mario Rui, Meret, Mertens, Milik, Ospina, Tonelli, Younes, Zielinski
