The greek international Kostas Manolas, Napoli defender, suffered a right ankle injury that affected the ligaments and will be low at least three weeks, as reported by his team on Monday, so the round trip of the duel against Granada will be lost, in the round of 32 of the Europa League.
Manolas retired twenty minutes from the end of the game lost last Saturday by Naples in the Genoa field, and the exams to which he was subjected this Monday detected a “second degree sprain” that also affected the fibula ligaments. “The player's conditions will be re-analyzed in three weeks. The defender has already started the rehabilitation process,” Napoli stressed.
Manolas's injury joins the already known of the Belgian Dries Mertens, who has serious left ankle problems for which he is being cured in Belgium.
The Naples, sixth classified in Serie A and semifinalist of the Italian Cup, of which he is the current champion, will visit Granada on February 18 in the first leg of the round of 32 of the Europa League and will receive you on February 25, in the Neapolitan Maradona stadium.
