Overview
- Rovella left in the 59th minute after falling awkwardly following a hold by Cagliari’s Zé Pedro during Saturday’s 0-0 draw.
- Lazio’s medical staff applied ice spray on the pitch, he briefly tried to continue, then was replaced by Daniele Cataldi.
- Head coach Maurizio Sarri confirmed post-match that Rovella sustained a clavicle fracture and called the campaign “cursed.”
- The club said imaging at Ospedale SS. Trinità in Cagliari showed a displaced fracture of the right clavicle and that he will return to Rome for an orthopedic assessment.
- The setback came in Rovella’s first start since the Rome derby after a months-long absence, further tightening Lazio’s already depleted squad.
