Lazio Suffer Another Blow As Castellanos Sustains Muscle Injury In Napoli Clash

The match between Lazio and Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico took a turn for the worse for the home side when Argentine striker Taty Castellanos was forced to exit early due to a muscle injury.

The incident unfolded in the 25th minute as Castellanos abruptly sat down on the pitch, clutching his adductor muscle. The 25-year-old immediately sought attention from the Lazio medical staff. After receiving initial treatment, he attempted to resume play, but just two minutes later, he was unable to continue and requested a substitution.

Coach Marco Baroni promptly replaced Castellanos with Noslin in the 27th minute. The injured striker then limped off the field and was escorted to the dressing room for further evaluation.

This setback is a significant blow for Lazio, who are already facing challenges at the top of Serie A. Preliminary reports suggest that Castellanos is suffering from a muscle issue in his left thigh. He is set to undergo further examinations, including medical tests at the Villa Mafalda Clinic, to determine the severity of the injury and the expected recovery timeline.

The club and its supporters now await the forthcoming assessment from the medical team to learn when Castellanos might be fit to return to action.
