Lazio’s Nuno Tavares Injury update

Lazio’s Portuguese full-back Nuno Tavares has undergone medical examinations following an injury sustained while on international duty with Portugal on Monday. The results, while concerning, are not as severe as initially feared.

The official statement from Lazio’s medical staff reads: “S.S. Lazio’s medical staff announces that player Nuno Tavares underwent clinical and instrumental examinations today at Villa Mafalda Clinic. The tests revealed a low-grade muscular lesion in the semimembranosus of the left thigh, sustained while with his national team. The player has already begun specific treatment and will undergo daily clinical and instrumental monitoring.”

This injury, though not severe, will impact Tavares’s availability for upcoming matches. He is certain to miss the game against Bologna and the Europa League fixture against Ludogorets. The estimated recovery time is approximately 10-15 days, putting his participation in the match against Parma in doubt as well. The club will not take any risks with his recovery.

If Tavares does not recover in time for the Parma game, his potential return could be in the Coppa Italia match against Napoli on December 5th. This cautious approach underlines Lazio’s commitment to ensuring Tavares’s full recovery before his return to action.
