Zaccagni out for circa 4 weeks in blow to Lazio and Italy | OneFootball

Lazio captain Mattia Zaccagni is expected to be out of action for circa one month after tests showed a medium-grade lesion to his oblique muscle.

He was only on the bench for last night’s 3-2 victory over Genoa at the Stadio Olimpico, and it is now confirmed why.

A statement from Lazio announced that tests performed at the Villa Mafalda clinic had shown a medium-grade lesion to the oblique muscle in his abdomen.

Zaccagni not expected back until March 2026

The report from Sky Sport Italia warns this kind of injury should keep Zaccagni out of action for at least four weeks.

It is a blow to the Aquile and the Italy squad, as Zaccagni had scored four goals with one assist in 20 games this season between Serie A and the Coppa Italia.

Lazio are still missing Gil Patric and Samuel Gigot, but signed Kenneth Taylor, Daniel Maldini, Petar Ratkov and Adrian Przyborek in the January transfer window.
