Napoli dealt massive Koulibaly blow for Barcelona clash

Kalidou Koulibaly will not be available for next Wednesday’s Champions League encounter against Barcelona.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Senegal international will not be rushed to action against La Blaugrana in the make or break fixture despite resuming training.

Koulibaly sustained a hamstring injury during a 2-1 home defeat to Parma on December 14, which has kept him on the sidelines for the last two months.

He returned to action on February 9 as Gennaro Gattuso’s team bowed 3-2 away at Lecce, although he was an unused substitute during a Coppa Italia victory over Inter three days later.
