Lazio are left to sweat over the condition of Elseid Hysaj who may have suffered a serious injury during Monday’s Serie A contest against Cagliari.

The Background

The Albanian spent the first half of the season on the sidelines as he didn’t have a place in Marco Baroni’s Serie A and Europa League squad lists. However, Serie A rules allow the club to tweak their squads during the January transfer session, and the 32-year-old made the most out of his opportunity, proving to be a reliable presence at right-back while Manual Lazzari is out with an injury.

Hysaj Back in the Squad

Hysaj has also been expected to gain a permanent spot in the squad now that Gaetano Castrovilli has left the club. But first things first, it remains to be seen how the former Napoli man is faring about sustaining a knock during Lazio’s 2-1 win in Sardinia.

Lazio Fear Elseid Hysaj May Have Suffered Serious Injury

At the hour mark, the Albania captain fell to the ground in agony and was immediately replaced by Samuel Gigot. As La Lazio Siamo Noi explains, Hysaj could hardly place his foot on the ground while being assisted off the pitch. The player was also heard telling one of his teammates “I felt a strong tear”, which is certainly a concerning indicator for the club.

Filled Nursery

We can expect the veteran to undergo the necessary medical tests in the coming hours to determine the extent of the injury. Lazio already have Nuno Tavares, Patric, Lazzari and Matias Vecino on the treatment, but they’re all expected to return in the coming days or weeks.
