Zaccagni out 3-4 weeks: Lazio lose their captain to a thigh injury
Muscle lesion in the left thigh: Zaccagni misses Naples and his return against Lecce is in doubt, while Marusic and Rovella train again.
Lazio will be without Mattia Zaccagni for the next 3-4 weeks after the winger suffered a lesion to the quadriceps of his left thigh. According to Football Italia, he limped off during the 2-1 win over Cagliari and initial scans confirmed the damage. He is ruled out of Sunday's clash with Naples.
The club confirmed the diagnosis in a statement: Zaccagni has started treatment and will be re-tested in the coming days. TuttoMercatoWeb puts his return after the international break and casts doubt on his availability for the Saturday 21 November game against Lecce. This season he has two goals and five assists in ten Serie A appearances, and Lazio sit three points clear at the top.
There was some good news for Gennaro Gattuso: Adam Marusic and NicolĂČ Rovella returned to training today after more than two months out.
