Lazio full-back Adam Marusic has tested negative for Covid-19 and will return to Rome today.

As reported by Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport (via La Lazio Siamo Noi) earlier today, the 29-year-old Montenegrin full-back took his most recent Covid-19 test yesterday morning in Belgrade and the results have come back negative, meaning he can finally end his isolation.

Marusic is set to return to Rome later today, but it seems unlikely that he will feature in Lazio‘s match against Napoli tomorrow.

Like other players who have been infected with Covid-19, Marusic will need to regain his match fitness after undergoing the usual medical tests.

Even if he fails to feature in tomorrow’s match against Napoli, his return is still important for coach Maurizio Sarri, who could deploy him next week against Udinese on Thursday.

The 29-year-old Marusic, who is contracted to Lazio until 2022, has made 14 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 1007 minutes.
