Lazio confirm Sergej Milinkovic-Savic broke his nose during the defeat to Fiorentina and had surgery today to reduce the fracture.
The incident occurred just before half-time, when he accidentally clashed heads with Erick Pulgar.
Despite knowing at the time it was probably a fracture, the Serbian insisted on playing for the second half too with two large plugs up his nose to stem the bleeding.
