Italy and Lazio striker Ciro Immobile will miss the match against Juventus after the break with a calf injury, it’s reported.
The 31-year-old pulled out of the Italy squad on Tuesday and according to Il Corriere dello Sport he won’t be available when his club host Juventus at the Stadio Olimpico after the break.
Immobile underwent medical checks upon his return to Rome yesterday, but his recovery time is still unknown.
However, Maurizio Sarri has resigned himself to the fact that Immobile will miss the games against Juventus and Lokomotiv Moscow, Lazio’s first two games after the November break.
