Lazio Receive Major Injury Boost Which Will Impact Their Market Plans | OneFootball

Lazio can breathe a great sigh of relief as Patric is now expected to return in action in a matter of weeks, thus putting surgery fears to bed.

The Background

The 31-year-old sustained an ankle injury in recent weeks, and decided to return to Barcelona for consultation. In the meantime, the Biancocelesti were left to sweat over his condition, as a surgical intervention would have meant missing the rest of the campaign.

Patric to Rejoin Lazio Training in Coming Days

But according to Alfredo Pedulla, the results of the consultation yielded excellent news for Lazio, so the Spaniard can resume action in a matter of 10 or 15 days. Therefore, the Aquile no longer need to sign another centre-back. The management had been keeping an eye on Hellas Verona’s Daniele Ghilardi, but they weren’t quite crazy about this potential deal, explains the Italian journalist.

New Onslaught for Cesare Casadei

Moreover, this injury boost will allow Lazio to shift their focus towards signing a new midfielder rather than pursuing an emergency defensive addition. Therefore, we can expect Claudio Lotito and Angelo Fabiani to accelerate their attempts to land Cesare Casadei in the coming hours, as the Chelsea benchwarmer remains their priority target for the midfield department.
