Lazio has confirmed that Alessio Romagnoli, their defender, has been diagnosed with a right calf strain.

This injury led to his exclusion from today’s Serie A match against Salernitana, following a previous muscular issue sustained during training.

The club released a statement subsequent to Romagnoli undergoing tests at the Paideia clinic in Rome, indicating a calf muscle lesion.

As a result, the Italian player is expected to be sidelined for at least two to three weeks.

Consequently, he’s unlikely to participate in the critical Champions League clash against Celtic and potentially might miss the Atletico Madrid match on December 13.

Additionally, upcoming Serie A fixtures against Cagliari and Verona, along with a Coppa Italia encounter against Genoa on December 5, could also see his absence.

Romagnoli, a former Milan centre-back, has appeared in 16 games this season across Serie A and the Champions League, contributing with one assist.
