Lazio Midfielder Gaetano Castrovilli Undergoes to Surgery – Estimated Recovery Time Revealed | OneFootball

Lazio summer signing Gaetano Castrovilli went under the knife as announced by a note published on the club’s official website.

The 27-year-old has been enduring rough times with injuries over the past few years which eventually led to his Fiorentina release last summer. The Biancocelesti decided to take a chance on the Euro 2020 winner and sign him on a free transfer, but the midfielder has yet to hit his stride in the Italian capital.

Lazio Announce Gaetano Castrovilli Underwent Surgery

The Italy international was hoping to reach his optimal condition and showcase his worth to the cause, but was instead dealt with by another injury blow during a training session. Castrovilli sustained a meniscus problem that forced him to undergo surgery on Friday. Nevertheless, the club expects him to return to training in two weeks.

The Possible Replacement

In the meantime, some reports are expecting Marco Baroni to replace the former Fiorentina man with Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro in the Serie A squad. But if Castrovilli can return to action in a few weeks’ time, the Lazio manager might reconsider the call, and keep the list intact.
