The Algeria international limped off during the first half of their Champions League clash with Manchester City this evening.
He tried to continue for several minutes before calling to the bench for a substitution.
“It is a sprained knee and tomorrow we’ll do the tests,” Napoli medic Alfonso De Nicola told reporters in the mixed zone after the game.
“Tomorrow morning we’ll have the certainty of the diagnosis and then will decide what to do.
“I know what the issue is, but I need tests to get confirmation.”
According to Mediaset Premium, the medical staff suspect Ghoulam has sustained anterior cruciate ligament damage.
If confirmed, it could be a lengthy lay-off for the left-back.
It would be the second ACL injury for Napoli this season after Arkadiusz Milik.
