Lazio have confirmed that veteran winger Pedro has suffered a fracture to his left hand but the Spaniard will still be available to face Napoli.

The 35-year-old Spanish winger suffered a fracture to his nose in the 2-0 win over Salernitana on February 19 but still took part in the following game against Sampdoria, playing with a face mask.

During the clash with the Blucerchiati, Pedro suffered an injury to his left hand and came off just before the hour mark.

Corriere dello Sport (via LazioNews24) details how tests have confirmed that Pedro has suffered a fracture to his hand, but the Spaniard has no intention of missing Lazio’s next game with Napoli.

The 2010 World Cup winner is unlikely to play from the beginning, with Mattia Zaccagni set to take his place in the starting 11, but could come off the bench in the second half, wanting to give his team a helping hand against the league leaders.
