Gudmundsson and midfield duo ‘to return’ for Juventus trip | OneFootball

Lazio have received positive news on Albert Gudmundsson after his shoulder scare on international duty, with the forward aiming to be available for the Juventus clash.

Il Messaggero reports that he is expected to miss Monza on 11 October, then target a comeback at the Allianz Stadium on 18 October.

The 29-year-old suffered an awkward fall for Iceland against Estonia in the UEFA Nations League, left the pitch immediately and underwent tests in Rome. Fears of a repeat of Nicolo Rovella’s shoulder dislocation last season have eased, with Gudmundsson sustaining only a mild dislocation.

A similar timetable is envisaged for Danilo Cataldi. The midfielder had overcome summer groin surgery, but the 32-year-old has suffered a fresh adductor setback.

Lazio also expect to have Rovella back for the trip to Turin. The 24-year-old sustained a muscle injury on the second matchday against Genoa and has been sidelined since.
