Injured Koulibaly apologises for Napoli's winless run in Serie A

Kalidou Koulibaly has issued an apology for Napoli's defeat, his injury and his involvement in Parma’s first goal during Saturday’s Serie A encounter.

Koulibaly was caught in possession by Dejan Kulusevski and injured himself while trying to stop the 19-year-old from opening the scoring in the fourth minute.

The Senegal international fell to the floor and limped off a minute later after feeling discomfort on his right thigh.

Arkadiusz Milik's 64th-minute equaliser was not enough for the hosts as Gervinho's stoppage-time strike condemned Gennaro Gattuso to his first defeat on his debut outing with the Partenopei.
