Sutalo and Tavares hit by hamstring problems: Lazio worry

Lazio return from Naples with two hamstring problems to manage during the international break. After the draw at the Maradona, Sutalo had to leave the pitch in the first half with a sharp pain, while Tavares was replaced at halftime after playing through a tightness in the same area. According to Corriere dello Sport, Gattuso expects Sutalo's problem to be a strain and that he will not join his national team.

Gattuso praised Tavares for battling through despite little training. The break gives the medical staff time to assess the knocks and bring back other players from the infirmary. Zaccagni, who travelled to Naples despite his injury, will have a scan in the coming days to find out whether the oedema comes from the blow against Cagliari or from a muscle tear, which would lengthen his recovery.

Gudmundsson, out for 45 days with a shoulder problem, will look for minutes in Saturday's test against Mgarr United.
