Luis Alberto is in doubt for the upcoming match against Genoa after failing to attend training yesterday.

The 29-year-old Spaniard was one of the stars of the show in Lazio’s 2-1 win over Sassuolo last weekend but now his momentum is at risk of being broken with this latest issue. The Roman club cannot afford to drop points in the remaining games of the season if they still want to secure European qualification.

As reported by Il Messaggero (via LazioNews24), Luis Alberto has a fever and didn’t train yesterday afternoon, remaining at home. If he doesn’t return to Formello either today or tomorrow, he’s unlikely to feature for Lazio against Genoa on the weekend.

The situation is a little confusing and there’s a chance that it could be COVID. On Monday evening, his wife Patricia posted a photo of their children on the sofa on Instagram, which was accompanied by the caption: “We have been infected by the virus.”

His daughter then posted an Instagram story the following morning which read: “It’s not COVID, it’s just bronchitis.”

The situation is a little hazy and Toma Basic is preparing to fill in for the Spaniard, whose availability for this weekend’s match is now heavily in doubt.
