Dr. Fabio Rodia had some reassuring news concerning the condition of Lazio defender Patric following last night’s Europa League contest.
The Italian capital side shrugged Dynamo Kyiv aside by three unanswered goals in their maiden European contest of the season.
Nevertheless, Patric’s injury scare left the technical staff sweating over his condition, especially with fellow defender Samuel Gigot also out of action.
Patric’s Status
The Spanish centre-back was in Marco Baroni’s starting lineup alongside Alessio Romagnoli, but he had to leave his place on the pitch for his compatriot Mario Gila after picking up a knock early in the season half.
But in his post-match interview with Lazio Style Channel (via La Lazio Siamo Noi), Dr. Rodia reveals that the player’s exit was only a precautionary measure.
Patric made a sliding tackle and felt a stiffening. As a precaution, we immediately replaced him to avoid any damage ahead of the upcoming matches. We will see in the next few hours how the situation evolves.
The Latest on Taty Castellanos
Lazio’s doctor also touched on Taty Castellanos’ condition, with the Argentine striker returning ahead of schedule.
I have to thank the diagnostics which gave us a very important hand and the daily checks which allowed us to put him back on the pitch in the right time, in fact a few days earlier than expected.
