Jacopo Fazzini, Empoli’s promising young midfielder, has encountered another setback in his season. The Italian talent was forced to withdraw from training yesterday during the final preparation session before Empoli’s 1-0 victory over Como.
Today, Fazzini underwent further medical examinations to assess the extent of the thigh injury he sustained. The clinical tests revealed a medium to low-grade lesion of the long head of the biceps femoris in his left thigh, confirming the need for a period of forced rest.
This injury rules Fazzini out of Empoli’s upcoming league match against Lecce, scheduled for Friday evening at 20:45. The recovery timeline is expected to be longer, and with the international break on the horizon, the realistic target for his return is likely to be either the home game against Udinese on November 25th or, more probably, the away fixture against Milan at San Siro on November 30th.
The news comes as a blow to both the player and the team, as Fazzini has been showing promise in Empoli’s midfield. The club’s medical staff will now work closely with the young midfielder to ensure a full and safe recovery, aiming to have him back in action as soon as possible without risking further injury.
