Napoli have confirmed that left-back Faouzi Ghoulam underwent successful knee surgery on Wednesday.

There were concerns over the weekend that Ghoulam had damaged his knee again after it flared up following new training exercises.

However, tests at the Villa Stuart clinic in Rome on Tuesday dispelled those fears and the Algerian was able to go under the knife again.

Napoli have confirmed that left-back Faouzi Ghoulam underwent successful knee surgery on Wednesday.

There were concerns over the weekend that Ghoulam had damaged his knee again after it flared up following new training exercises.

However, tests at the Villa Stuart clinic in Rome on Tuesday dispelled those fears and the Algerian was able to go under the knife again.

”Faouzi Ghoulam was operated at Villa Stuart this morning by Professor [Pier Paolo] Mariani, assisted by the Napoli team doctor [Alfonso] De Nicola,” read a statement on the Partenopei’s official website.

“The Azzurri defender underwent a small procedure to remove the metal pin in his right patella.

“Ghoulam will follow a personalised work programme next week.”

Ghoulam tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee last November, before fracturing his kneecap during a training session in February 2018.
