Lazio injury crisis escalates

By Football Italia staff

The injury crisis at Lazio is escalating rapidly, with 10 players on the treatment table, including Lucas Leiva, Luiz Felipe and Luis Alberto.

Simone Inzaghi’s men are the only Italian side remaining in three competitions this season, but it is starting to take its toll.

After the 1-0 home defeat to Sevilla in the Europa League on Thursday, they picked up new injury problems for defender Luiz Felipe – who was making his comeback – Wallace, Marco Parolo and Luis Alberto.

This morning, Lucas Leiva also turned up to the Paideia clinic for tests, suggesting he too is suffering from an injury.

It’s reported Lazio will be without 10 players for Sunday afternoon’s Serie A meeting with Genoa.

The absentees are expected to be Lucas Leiva, Riza Durmisi, Wallace, Luis Alberto, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Valon Berisha, Parolo and Bastos.

Ciro Immobile is not 100 per cent fit, but expected to start anyway with Joaquin Correa.
