Lazio, Rovella surgery today: could miss Champions League squad | OneFootball

There are updates from Lazio regarding the Italian midfielder, Nicolò Rovella, who was injured in October due to acute pubalgia. Here are the latest on his condition.

Lazio, Rovella to undergo surgery this evening: Maurizio Sarri might exclude him from the list in favor of another midfielder

Lazio has been without the Italian midfielder Nicolò Rovella for almost two months now, after he suffered a groin problem during the Derby on October 5th. The former Juve player initially opted for conservative therapy, which unfortunately did not yield positive results.

Il Corriere dello Sport writes:

“Today is the day of the operation, this time there will be no last-minute reconsideration. Nicolò Rovella will undergo surgery today at the private Roman clinic Quisisana, the same facility where he was supposed to have the operation on October 5th (right after Lazio-Torino), but then changed his mind and tried to recover from pubalgia with conservative therapy. Since then, 45 days have passed, and it will take about the same amount of time now for the rehabilitation process that will bring him back to the group. A long ordeal, and in hindsight, managed with delays by the player, who tried in every way not to go under the knife (convinced he could make it as he had before), despite that being the best solution for the club, technical staff, and the Biancoceleste medical team. In the end, as is normal in such situations, the player's will prevailed. And Lazio will have to do without Rovella for about 4 months in total. He will return at the beginning of January.”

Maurizio Sarri, therefore, might repeat the move from a few months ago, where he excluded Dele-Bashiru for Toma Basic given the difficulties in the central department. As of today, the Nigerian, who was excluded, is recovering and could soon be available again, rejoining the list in place of the operated Rovella.
