Hysaj a doubt for Napoli-Barcelona with sprained knee
A knee injury sustained in the closing stages of Napoli's 1-0 win over Cagliari could cause Elseid Hysaj to sit out the Barcelona game.
Napoli could be without Elseid Hysaj when they take on Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie with the right-back having suffered a sprained knee.
Albania international Hysaj went off with 10 minutes remaining in Napoli's 1-0 Serie A victory over Cagliari at the Sardegna Arena on Sunday.
Tests carried out on Monday showed the 26-year-old has sustained damage to the medial collateral ligament in his right knee.
Reports in Italy suggest Hysaj could be set for two weeks on the sidelines, which makes him a doubt for the visit of Barcelona next Tuesday.
Napoli face Brescia in Serie A on Friday and entertain Torino four days after taking on Barca at Stadio San Paolo.
The second leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final against Inter, in which they hold a 1-0 aggregate lead, is scheduled for March 5.
