Report: Higuain out of Napoli clash

Gonzalo Higuain will reportedly miss Juventus’ Serie A showdown against Napoli on Friday due to hand surgery.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Higuain will have an operation on his left hand “in the next few hours” and will consequently be unavailable for the trip to Napoli.
