Lazio Confirm Arsenal Loanee Suffered Thigh Injury – Probable Return Date Revealed

Lazio have been dealt a new injury blow as Nuno Tavares is set for another spell on the sidelines after hurting himself against Real Sociedad.

The Background

The Portuguese was in sensational form during the first half of Thursday’s Europa League contest. He instigated the second goal and provided a sublime assist for the third, but was forced to leave the pitch shortly afterwards after suffering a muscle problem.

Nuno Tavares Suffers Injury

The 25-year-old underwent the necessary tests to reveal the extent of this injury. The club has now released a statement on its official website, confirming the player sustained a flexion to the adductor.

SS Lazio announces that Nuno Tavares underwent clinical and instrumental tests today at Clinica Villa Mafalda. The tests revealed a flexion trauma to the adductor longus of the left thigh, reported during the last match against Real Sociedad. The footballer has already begun specific treatment for the case and will be subjected to daily clinical monitoring to quantify recovery times.

Potential Return Date

Although the official note didn’t provide a timetable for the recovery, TuttoMercatoWeb came up with its own estimation based on the condition. The source thus expects the player to miss Lazio’s next three contests, beginning with Sunday’s Serie A clash against Fiorentina, in addition to the Europa League encounter in Braga and next Monday’s league fixture versus Cagliari.

The report tips Tavares to make his return to action when Lazio host Monza at the Stadio Olimpico on February 9th.
