Lazio Provide Medical Update on Pellegrini Following Car Crash | OneFootball

Lazio fullback Luca Pellegrini suffered a leg injury in a car accident on Friday, revealed the club in a statement posted on its official website.

For unclear reasons, the player’s car overturned, resulting in a road crash. Luckily, the player avoided serious damage, but the accident still caused him some physical harm as detailed by the club’s official note.

Needless to say, Pellegrini will skip this weekend’s encounter against Udinese on the second matchday of the season. The 25-year-old wasn’t expected to start at the Stadio Friuli, but his absence leaves Marco Baroni short of options on the flanks.

Nuno Tavares is working towards full recovery, but the manager could once again give the nod to Adam Marusic on the left, while Manuel Lazzari remains on the right flank. In the meantime, Lazio can only wish Pellegrini a speedy recovery. The former Juventus and Roma left-back has been plying his trade at Formello since January 2023.
