Napoli announced that Raul Albiol’s injury is not serious after he limped off during the 4-2 Champions League win over Benfica.
The Spaniard lasted just 11 minutes at the Stadio San Paolo this evening.
He suddenly pulled up while running and immediately called to the bench for a substitution, giving Nikola Maksimovic his debut.
A statement from the club confirmed Albiol is suffering from a slightly elongated left femoral bicep.

This is not a serious issue and it’s possible he will be available for this weekend’s Serie A trip to Atalanta.
However, Maksimovic could be started instead as a precaution.
