Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly has suffered a muscle problem in the calf and will be out for at least two weeks.

The Partenopei have confirmed the instrumental examinations revealed a first-degree injury in the calf muscle of the right leg.

The Azzurri defender suffered the injury towards the end of the match against Cagliari, when the Rossoblu equalised in stoppages.

The Senegalese defender will thus be out for at least two weeks and will miss the games against Spezia, Udinese and Fiorentina.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Antonio Conte and Inter directors won't meet before two weeks and the coach has already identified the primary transfer targets for the summer.

Conte's contract expires in June 2022, but the coach would need to discuss the club's strategies for the future before the beginning of 2021-22.

La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper reports Conte and Inter's directors won't meet before two weeks, but both him and the club's CEO Beppe Marotta have identified the players to strengthen the team this summer.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Gennaro Gattuso and Roberto De Zerbi have rejected the chance to become the Fiorentina coach next season, meaning Ivan Juric remains the sole candidate for the job.

La Viola are facing a tumultuous season with Beppe Iachini sacked in November, only to return to the Stadio Artemio Franchi in March, after Cesare Prandelli had resigned.

However, the former Palermo coach is not expected to stay in Florence long-term as the Tuscans are looking for a new coach for next season.

Hellas Verona paid the price for wasting numerous chances and hitting the woodwork twice, as Riccardo Saponara came off the bench to clinch a Spezia equaliser.

Kevin Lasagna was unfortunate enough to see two goals disallowed for offside positions, while Eddie Salcedo forced a desperate save from point-blank range and turned his header onto the upright.

Ivan Juric insists Verona gifted a draw to Spezia with ‘serious errors you cannot see in Serie A’ and they ‘had better players last season.’

Hellas had taken the lead through an Eddie Salcedo header, but after wasting several opportunities and hitting the woodwork twice, Riccardo Saponara came off the bench to equalise.

Spezia coach Vincenzo Italiano admits he had the ‘fear’ they’d fumble a point in their 1-1 draw at Verona. ‘We went in with a bit of tension today.’

Eddie Salcedo had put Verona in front with a header, although the hosts had many other chances, including two goals disallowed and a free kick thumping the crossbar.

Riccardo Saponara came off the bench to snatch a late Spezia equaliser and cancel out Eddie Salcedo’s header, but Verona had two goals disallowed and hit the crossbar.

Vincenzo Italiano doesn’t believe Spezia have attacking problems, despite scoring only twice in three games.

After leaving the pitch goalless in a 2-0 defeat to Genoa last time, Italiano stressed the Aquilotti continues to create enough chances.

The coach quashed the reports of an alleged attacking decline ahead of Saturday’s match against Hellas Verona.

“I don’t think so. Even in the last match we created the chances to be transformed into goals,” Italiano said at a press conference.

Hellas Verona coach Ivan Juric likes VAR, but insists it was wrong to disallow Davide Faraoni's goal against Inter.

The Gialloblù suffered a 1-0 defeat against the Serie A leaders last week and saw Davide Faraoni's goal disallowed for a foul on Samir Handanovic.

A video had shown Faraoni touched Handanovic's arm, but the coach insisted the goal was wrongfully disallowed.
