Lazio, endless emergency: Valentin Castellanos also stops
New trouble for Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio. Indeed, the Biancocelesti will have to renounce Valentin Castellanos, one of the pivots of the attack of a team that continues to face numerous difficulties born also from the’inability to sign new players in the last soccer market window. Added to this is also the injury emergency, which has seen the Argentine added in recent hours.
The Taty has in fact suffered a second-degree injury to the right rectus femoris. This is no small muscle problem, as Castellanos’s absence from the field could reach up to two months and will certainly not be less than 45 days. This means that Lazio will have to forgo him in the difficult challenges against Atalanta, Juventus and probably Inter, as well as those with Pisa and Cagliari.
Castellanos has so far scored two goals in his six accumulated Serie A appearances in Lazio’s first part of the season, in addition to registering three assists. That is a contribution of the highest order, as Lazio currently has scored 10 goals in the league. And this means that the Argentine has contributed to the realization of half of them.
Let’s remember that Castellanos will have great company in the biancoceleste infirmary, as Lazio currently finds itself struggling with a very long list of injuries. With the Argentine there are in fact the long-suffering Dele-Bashiru and Gigot, but also Zaccagni (struggling with an adductor muscle problem) and Rovella (stopped by pubalgia). Instead, available, but themselves recovering from recent physical troubles, are Vecino, Lazzari, Pellegrini, Marusic, Patric and Isaksen.
