Coach Sarri: “First Time in a Long Time That Lazio Have Won Without Immobile”
For a week the 31-year-old Italian forward had undergone tests, which all returned negative until yesterday. He has followed the safety protocols fully and now will be forced to watch the Venezia match from home.
The Lazio squad haven’t been in contact with Immobile for five days now and so there is little fear that his infection will cause an outbreak amongst the team.
