SSC Napoli striker Germán Denis will miss next month's UEFA Europa League play-off round due to a foot injury.

The 28-year-old Argentinian international underwent surgery on his left foot in Barcelona today after a training injury on Wednesday and is expected to be absent for eight weeks. The lay-off rules him out of the start of the Serie A campaign and also the UEFA Europa League play-offs on 19 and 26 August. Napoli will discover their opposition 13 days before the first leg.
