Swansea City boss Garry Monk is unsure of the future of Michu.
Michu, who scored 22 goals in his first campaign at Swansea before suffering an injury-hit season last term, has managed only three starts and five appearances for Napoli and failed to either complete 90 minutes or score for Rafael Benitez's side.
The 28-year-old has now been ruled out for the next fortnight with a recurrence of the ankle problem that plagued him at Swansea but Monk says the player's position is unclear.
"I'm not sure contractually whether we could bring him back and we'd have to check fine lines before dealing with something like that," Monk said.
"I've not spoken to him recently but we'll see what the situation is and assess it from there."
