Lazio Left Sweating as Frattesi Leaves Italy Camp Due to Muscle Issue
Lazio midfielder Davide Frattesi was forced to leave the Italian national team after sustaining a muscle problem during Thursday’s victory over France.
Davide Frattesi Scored For Italy Against France
Roberto Mancini picked the 27-year-old in his starting lineup, and the latter repaid his faith by netting the Azzurri’s second goal in the 3-1 victory at San Siro. This result allowed the Italian to go top of the table in their UEFA Nations League group ahead of their decisive game against Belgium, which will take place in Brussels. However, Frattesi won’t be on the plane alongside his international teammates.
Frattesi Returns to Lazio With an Injury
On Friday, the Italian football federation’s official website confirmed that the Roman has left the training camp due to a muscle strain.
Davide Frattesi has left the Azzurri training camp: the Lazio midfielder, who scored yesterday against France, is struggling with a muscle strain that will make him unavailable for the match against Belgium and will therefore return to his club.
Lazio will be keen to conduct the necessary clinical tests as soon as possible to find out the extent of the player’s injury. Gennaro Gattuso will be hoping that his pupil hasn’t suffered a serious issue, as the midfielder has been an automatic starter for the Aquile since making his surprising summer transfer from Inter Milan.
Lazio’s Growing Injury List
Injuries have been piling up for Lazio in recent weeks. Mattia Zaccagni suffered a muscle problem against Cagliari, while Nuno Tavares and Josip Sutalo followed suit last Sunday in Naples. Adam Marusic, who had only recently returned from a long layoff, was also sent home after sustaining a new injury during his stay with Montenegro.
