Lazio veteran Pedro is reportedly at risk for Sunday’s Serie A encounter against Bologna after falling ill.
Lazio Could Lose Pedro to Illness
The 37-year-old was one the Biancocelesti stars who remained at Formello during the international break while eleven of his teammates joined their respective national teams. However, the Spaniard was forced to miss training on Wednesday due to a strong gastrointestinal attack, reveals La Lazio Siamo Noi.
Mattia Zaccagni’s Issue Replicated
As the source noted, this is almost an identical case to the one suffered by club captain Mattia Zaccagni a few weeks back. While the Italian’s condition wasn’t expected to remain out of action for too long, he ended up missing the back-to-back Serie A contests against Genoa and Como.
To Be Monitored
Therefore, Lazio are hoping that Pedro manages to shake off this condition in a swift fashion. Nevertheless, the winger’s availability for Sunday’s contest against Bologna remains in great jeopardy. The player will be monitored on a daily basis, and it remains to be seen if he’ll recover in time to earn a call-up.
The Nuno Tavares Blow
The Biancocelesti have already been dealt with a significant blow, as Nuno Tavares has picked up a slight injury which could rule him out of the next two fixtures against Bologna in Serie A and Ludogorets in the Europa League. But the good news for Marco Baroni is that Boulaye Dia has been cleared from malaria and should imminently return to training alongside his teammates.
