Napoli new signing Grassi ruled out for three weeks with meniscus injury
Grassi, 20, has undergone an arthroscopic surgery this morning for a meniscus tear and he’ll remain out of action for at least three weeks.
The central midfielder has just joined Napoli from Atalanta for a fee in the region of € 10 million.
Gonzalo Higuain has also picked up a less serious injury which wou
ld probably not prevent him from playing Napoli’s next Serie A game against Empoli.
The Argentinean star suffered a calf contusion during a mid-week friendly match against Positano, a team playing in Eccellenza, Italy’s 5th division, being precautionary replaced by Manolo Gabbiadini.
