Lazio Announce Gaetano Castrovilli Will Undergo Surgery After Sustaining New Injury | OneFootball

Lazio have announced through their official website that Gaetano Castrovilli will undergo arthroscopic surgery after suffering an injury during a training session.

Castrovilli Suffers New Injury Blow

The 27-year-old picked up a knee problem which prompted a swift medical test. The results revealed a lesion to the medial meniscus which will require surgical intervention in the next few days.

Potential Timetable for Recovery

While the club’s official statement doesn’t mention a timetable for the player’s return to action, La Lazio Siamo Noi expects the midfielder to remain on the sidelines between one month and 45 days.

This is another blow for Castrovilli who has been enduring torrid times with injuries over the past few years. This is specifically the reason why Fiorentina released him at the end of the previous campaign. But while Lazio decided to bet on his talent, the Italian has yet to truly flourish under Marco Baroni who continues to back the player.

Plans for Porto Unchanged

Nevertheless, Castrovilli’s injury shouldn’t have any effect on Lazio’s plans for the big Europa League showdown against Porto, as the midfielder has been omitted from the club’s continental list. On the other hand, he made six appearances in Serie A this season, only one as a starter.
