Lazio's Rovella Opts for Groin Surgery, Targeting January Return

The operation follows a failed conservative rehab in a squad hit by injuries.

Overview

  • Nicolò Rovella announced he will undergo surgery to resolve persistent pubalgia, confirming the decision on Instagram.
  • Medical estimates suggest a 40–45 day recovery, making a return before January unlikely.
  • He pursued conservative treatment after the September derby, but pain resurfaced during recent training, prompting the operation.
  • Lazio is assessing whether to use its final Serie A list change to temporarily reinsert Dele-Bashiru for midfield cover, according to local reports.
  • Tavares and Castellanos are expected to rejoin full training this week, with Castellanos reported as a candidate to face Lecce.
