Napoli have announced that on-loan forward Michu has undergone surgery on his right ankle.
The Spaniard, who is currently on a season-long loan from Swansea City, has played just five times for the Serie A club, with his last appearance coming on October 23.
An official statement read: "Today, Michu underwent an arthroscopic surgery to trim his right ankle at the Victoria medical institute in Spain."
Swansea boss Garry Monk revealed earlier this week that there are no plans for Michu to return to the club in January.
