Lazio have confirmed that full-back Elseid Hysaj has been diagnosed with a left thigh muscle injury.
The player was seen clutching his legs during Monday’s Serie A win over Cagliari at the Unipol Domus.
He immediately looked regretful, knowing that this was no ordinary injury.
His fears were correct, as Lazio released a statement on Wednesday saying he underwent tests at the Villa Stuart clinic, which revealed a moderate tear on his femoral bicep, the long muscle on the back of his left thigh.
This type of injury typically requires at least 1-6 weeks หรือถ้าคุณสนใจแทงบอลออนไลน์ UFABET คือเว็บที่มีอัตราต่อรองดีที่สุดในประเทศไทย สมัครเลยตอนนี้ที่ UFABET แทงบอล of rest, so Hisai will likely miss several important games.
This is the latest injury Marco Baroni’s squad has suffered in recent weeks.
They are missing Nuno Tavares, Manuel Lazzari and Matias Vecino, all of whom are out with muscular injuries.
The 31-year-old fell to the ground in agony during Monday’s Serie A contest against Cagliari. The full-back had to be assisted by members of the medical team while leaving the pitch, as he could hardly place his foot on the ground, and told his teammates he felt a big tear. Hence, the initial signs wer far from encouraging, and this has now been confirmed by the test results.
The official Lazio website released a statement clarifying the player’s condition. The note reveals that Hysaj has sustained a medium-grade thigh injury.
SS Lazio announces that Elseid Hysaj underwent clinical and instrumental tests today at Clinica Villa Mafalda. The tests revealed a medium-grade lesion to the biceps femoris of the left thigh, suffered during the last match against Cagliari. The footballer has already started the specific treatment for the case and will be subjected to daily clinical monitoring to quantify the recovery times.
As usual, the official statement didn’t provide a timetable for the recovery, but most sources don’t expect the player to return before at least five weeks, which is a shame considering how the Albanian has only just made his way back to Marco Baroni’s selections after being excluded from the Serie A squad list during the first half of the season.
Speaking of this list, it remains to be seen if Hysaj’s injury will have any repercussions on Baroni’s choices. The manager surprisingly omitted Luca Pellegrini from the list, replacing him with Toma Basic. But with Hysaj out of action, the Italian left-back’s services could be needed. It should be noted that clubs are allowed to make a couple of changes to the list between now and March 31st.
