Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain has reportedly been taken to hospital after falling while on a boat trip in Capri in the Gulf of Naples.

The 25-year-old, who moved to the Italian outfit from Real Madrid earlier this summer, is believed to have been with others while in the Marina Piccola.

It is understood that the Argentina international was taken to Capilupi hospital after hitting his head on a rock and suffering a cut to the left side of his jaw, according to Football Italia.

Higuain made his debut for the Serie A side in a 3-0 victory over Bologna last night.
