Lazio lose Nuno Tavares and Pedro after injury updates | OneFootball

Lazio confirm the extent of the injury Nuno Tavares sustained on international duty with Portugal, as Pedro is also likely to miss out against Bologna.

The Aquile are back in action this weekend when hosting Bologna at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday evening.

Nuno Tavares will not be part of coach Marco Baroni’s squad that day, because the full-back picked up a muscular problem while on international duty for Portugal.

A statement from the club this afternoon confirmed that he has been diagnosed with a low-grade lesion to the semi-membrane in the left thigh.

Nuno Tavares has already started treatment and is expected to miss at least the upcoming matches against Bologna in Serie A and Ludogorets in the Europa League.

The former Arsenal left-back has been a revelation with eight assists in nine Serie A appearances.

This is not the only concern for Lazio, because Sky Sport Italia report that veteran striker Pedro is suffering from a stomach bug.

It left him weakened and the 37-year-old Spaniard will not be risked for the Bologna match on Sunday.
