Lazio, Sarri loses his playmaker again: Rovella’s decision on surgery | OneFootball

Bad news arrives for Lazio, as Nicolò Rovella's absence will be extended due to his pubalgia. Here is the player's decision.

Lazio, Rovella abandons conservative therapy: The Italian midfielder will undergo surgery in the coming days

Nicolò Rovella, the biancoceleste midfielder, has been out due to injury since the Derby against Roma in mid-September, when he experienced groin problems that hindered his running. Since that day, the player decided to start conservative therapy to address the issue, but it did not turn out to be the best choice.

In recent physical tests, Rovella continued to feel pain and therefore, according to Sky, surgery is the only viable path to resolve the troublesome groin issue.

The player then confirmed the decision to undergo surgery through a post on social media:

“Unfortunately, I now have to undergo surgery. I am reading many inaccuracies about me. The only truth is that after Sassuolo and the derby, where I played in critical conditions and gritted my teeth, I consulted extensively with the medical staff, the club, and my family, and together, we decided to opt for conservative therapy which in many other cases has had positive outcomes and especially would have shortened recovery times. It seemed to have worked, I returned to the field to train hard, but unfortunately, the pain returned, and at this point, surgery becomes necessary. It will take a little more time, but I am already counting down the days to return to the field to fight for these colors and this fanbase that I love. See you very soon. Always FORZA LAZIO.”

Lazio, to express support for their player, subsequently issued a statement:

“The entire Lazio family stands by Nicolò Rovella. We appreciate his transparency and the maturity with which he has shared a not simple journey. From the beginning, the choice to avoid surgery and attempt conservative therapy was the player's decision, as is today’s equally difficult decision to proceed with the operation. The Club has always supported him, in every evaluation, together with the medical staff.

Nicolò has faced complicated weeks with professionalism, sacrifice, and immense attachment to the jersey: he trained and played even when it was not easy, often enduring pain, always for the good of the team. Today we are all with him. The Lazio family, teammates, staff, and the entire biancoceleste environment await him and will accompany him step by step until his return to the field.”
