Lazio Worry Over Potential Injury to Manuel Lazzari

Lazio fans and management are on edge following an injury sustained by Manuel Lazzari during the team’s match against Empoli. The incident occurred on Sunday, when Lazzari attempted a save in the 38th minute, resulting in his substitution. The Italian club remains hopeful the injury is not severe, particularly with crucial matches on the horizon, including an encounter with Juventus.

Dr. Fabio Rodia, who provided insight post-match, stated, “During a stretch, he suffered a strain in the rectus femoris, so we took him off as a precaution.” Dr. Rodia’s assessment, as reported by Il Corriere dello Sport, indicated that Lazzari will undergo medical evaluations to determine the seriousness of the strain.

Lazzari, who is 30 years old, has been a mainstay in Lazio’s lineup, appearing in all seven of the club’s league matches this season. Understudy Adam Marusic has been handling appearances in the Europa League, stepping in for Lazzari when required.

Lazio’s head coach, Marco Baroni, will be particularly concerned about the potential loss of his first-choice right-back ahead of their upcoming schedule. The team is looking to build on their performance post-international break and secure points in their fight for Serie A success. Fans and analysts are eagerly awaiting updates on Lazzari’s condition and whether he will be fit to face Juventus.
