Napoli's Ghoulam makes Serie A return after eight months in Hellas Verona win

Faouzi Ghoulam played his first competitive match for Napoli since October as a substitute in Tuesday's Serie A win over Hellas Verona.

The 29-year-old was introduced as a 67th-minute substitute in their 2-0 away triumph at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi.

He replaced Elseid Hysaj, and he assisted Hirving Lozano in securing Napoli's second goal on the stroke of full-time after Arkadiusz Milik opened the scoring in the 38th minute.

The game was Ghoulam’s first outing since October 6 when he was introduced for Hysaj in a goalless draw against Torino.
