Casale Hopes To Recover Soon So He Can Play Against Fiorentina

Defender Nicolo Casale reportedly underwent a series of medicals last Wednesday and is working to recover in time for Lazio's next Serie A game against Fiorentina next Monday.

Italian defender Nicolo Casale, 24, has been sidelined for several weeks with a torn adductor muscle in last weekend's 4-0 win over Spezia. He was not included in Lazio's squad for their Europa League match against Sturm Graz, but he could be back soon.

According to La Repubblica, it was revealed that the defender underwent an MRI scan last Wednesday and his condition was checked to see if he could play in the next game against Fiorentina.

The Biancoceleste hopes to recover the 24-year-old in time so that he can travel with the squad for the Italian capital who will play away against Fiorentina in Florence.

Since moving to Rome, the former Hellas Verona defender has failed to replace Patric and Alessio Romagnoli. He has proved unsuccessful in shifting Sarri's two trusted defender positions.

Meanwhile, last Thursday night, Austria time, Sarri's team drew Goalless against Sturm Graz in the Europa League group stage.
