Lazio striker Ciro Immobile is self-isolating after his wife Jessica tested positive for COVID.
The Italy striker missed Lazio’s last Serie A match against Genoa.
It was reported that he had been ruled out of the game due to a stomach bug, but according to multiple reports in Italy, the real reason for his absence was that his wife had tested positive for COVID.
However, Immobile tested negative to multiple swab tests undergone on Friday night, before Lazio’s match against the Rossoblu.
He’s been self-isolating since Wednesday, meaning he should be available next Wednesday when Lazio travel to Venezia for the last game of 2021.
Vaccinated people can self-isolate for just a week after their last contact with a person positive for COVID, meaning his seven-day isolation ends on the same day of Lazio’s match against Venezia.
However, it remains to be seen if Maurizio Sarri will start the Lazio captain who hasn’t trained with the team over the last few days.
