Gennaro Gattuso is now short of options in the defensive department as Kalidou Koulibaly has suffered a muscle problem in the calf and will be out for at least two weeks.

Napoli sit fifth in the Serie A table but are just two points short of Atalanta, Milan and Juventus, who are level on points behind newly crowned Champions Inter.

The Partenopei will face Spezia, Udinese, Fiorentina and Verona in the last four games of the season.
