Lazio goalkeeper Ivan Provedel is poised to face a spell on the sidelines following an injury sustained during the team’s 2-1 defeat to Udinese in Serie A on Monday night.
During injury time at the Stadio Olimpico, Provedel was substituted by Christos Mandas, marking another disappointing turn for Maurizio Sarri’s squad.
Reports from Sky Sport Italia suggest that Provedel has incurred an ankle sprain, an injury likely to keep him out of action for approximately three weeks.
Departing the Stadio Olimpico on Monday evening wearing a protective boot, Provedel was slated to undergo further examinations at the Paideia clinic in Rome on Tuesday morning. Lazio awaits updates on his condition in the coming hours.
The 2-1 defeat against Udinese marks Lazio’s 12th loss in Serie A this season, leaving them trailing 11 points behind the top four with only 10 matches remaining in the 2023-24 campaign.
