Gudmundsson & Midfield Duo Will Be Back for Juventus vs Lazio | OneFootball

Lazio have received a reassuring update on Albert Gudmunsson, who should return to the fold ahead of the clash against Juventus.

The Background

The 29-year-old suffered an awkward fall during Iceland’s game against Estonia in the UEFA Nations League. The forward left the field immediately and was sent back to Rome where he underwent the required clinical tests.

The Biancocelesti feared a repeat of Nicolo Rovella’s injury ordeal from last season, when he spent almost three months on the sidelines with a dislocated shoulder due to a nasty fall in Cagliari. But luckily for Gudmundsson, he only sustained a mild dislocation.

Therefore, Il Messaggero (via La Lazio Siamo Noi) expect him to miss the first Serie A game after the international break against Monza on October 11, before returning to action for the big showdown against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium on October 18.

Danilo Cataldi

The source also envisions a similar timetable for Danilo Cataldi. The experienced midfielder had finally recovered from the groin surgery he underwent in the summer. However, Gennaro Gattuso confirmed the 32-year-old suffered a new setback after hurting his adductor.

Nicolo Rovella

In addition to Gudmundsson and Cataldi, Lazio also expect to have Rovella back for the trip to Turin. The 24-year-old Regista suffered a muscle injury on the second matchday of the season against Genoa and has been out of action ever since.
