Lazio: Sarri has successful surgery, set for quick return | OneFootball

Good news for Lazio: Maurizio Sarri has undergone a scheduled procedure for atrial fibrillation, which was completed with fully positive results.

Lazio, Sarri operated on for atrial fibrillation: successful procedure, imminent return to the bench

The announcement was made by the Biancocelesti club itself through an official statement, which immediately reassured fans and the environment about the coach’s condition and recovery times.

The official statement from Lazio

The club explained in detail what happened:

“Coach Maurizio Sarri, following a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation, underwent a transcatheter ablation procedure with PFA technology at the Policlinico Tor Vergata. The procedure, performed by Professor Andrea Natale, an international pioneer with over thirty years of experience in treating this condition, was carried out with positive results.”

During the operation, Lazio’s club doctor, Dr. Italo Leo, was also present, confirming the club’s constant attention and monitoring.

In the message, both Lazio and Sarri also thanked the Policlinico Tor Vergata and Professor Natale’s team “for their high professionalism and the quality of care provided daily to all patients.”

Scheduled procedure and limited downtime

The operation had been planned for some time and was not an emergency. For this reason, Sarri’s break will be very brief: the coach will be away from the field for only a couple of days, without any significant impact on the team’s technical planning.

In his absence, training sessions will be overseen by assistant coach Marco Ianni, ensuring continuity in daily work.

Return already set: Sarri on the bench against Napoli

The most reassuring point concerns the schedule. The procedure will not compromise preparations for the match against Napoli, Lazio’s first official commitment of 2026, scheduled for Sunday, January 4 at 3:00 PM.

Sarri will be back in action right after New Year’s and will be regularly on the bench against Conte’s team. The goal is also to participate in the short mandatory training camp scheduled for Saturday, starting the new year with maximum focus.
