Lazio’s prominent figure, Luis Alberto, skipped a crucial training session on Saturday, resulting in his exclusion from the Bianconcelesti squad for disciplinary reasons ahead of their match against Empoli on Sunday.
Adding to the challenges for Lazio and Luis Alberto, the Spanish midfielder failed to report to Formello this morning, prompting coach Igor Tuor to omit him from the squad list due to disciplinary issues.
Various sources in Italy, including Calciomercato.com, assert that Luis Alberto’s absence wasn’t due to injury but rather a deliberate decision to avoid joining his teammates for training on the eve of an important Serie A fixture against Empoli, leading to his omission from the squad.
The decision to leave him out of the squad stems from his actions, rather than any physical ailment.
Despite signing a contract extension with Lazio just last October following lengthy negotiations, Luis Alberto expressed his desire to terminate the agreement with the club at the end of the season, exactly a month ago, after a Serie A match against Salernitana.
Additionally, Luis Alberto’s compatriot Mario Gila was also not included in the squad, although the 23-year-old is sidelined due to injury recovery.
