Parma have confirmed that defender Gabriel Paletta will have to undergo lower back surgery, after treatment proved unsuccessful.
The Italy-capped centre-back has been undergoing conservative treatment in recent weeks to try to rectify a problematic back injury.
However, the Gialloblu have confirmed in a brief statement that this has ‘not been fully successful’ and that the 28-year-old will now need neurological surgery on his lower back.

Parma report that Paletta will undergo the procedure during the course of tomorrow, but they have not yet indicated an expected recovery period.
Teammate Mattia Cassani recently had to undergo back surgery himself as a final resort to an issue suffered.
