Lazio are optimistic about Pedro’s injury and they expect him to be fit in time for the match against Napoli.
As reported by Italian newspaper Il Messaggero (via LazioNews24) earlier today, the 34-year-old Spanish winger suffered an ankle injury during the 1-1 draw with Udinese last week and he’s all but guaranteed to miss tomorrow’s Europa League clash against Porto.

Rather than take the risk against Porto, Lazio instead want Pedro to be available for Sunday evening’s duel with Napoli, a key game in the race for a top four finish.

The 34-year-old Spaniard is currently recovering from his ankle injury and things are going well, so there’s reason to be optimistic.
Pedro has made 33 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 2239 minutes. In that time, he has scored eight goals and provided five assists, being one of the most important players in Maurizio Sarri’s squad.
