Lazio Football Club’s goalkeeper, Ivan Provedel, is anticipated to endure a prolonged absence due to an injury sustained during the team’s recent 2-1 defeat at home to Udinese in Serie A on Monday. The replacement of Provedel by Christos Mandas during injury time at the Stadio Olimpico underscores the setback experienced by Maurizio Sarri’s squad.
Various sources report that Provedel has incurred an ankle sprain, a condition speculated by La Gazzetta dello Sport to necessitate a recovery period of approximately three weeks. Departing the Stadio Olimpico with a protective boot on Monday evening, Provedel is projected to have undergone further diagnostic examinations at the Paideia clinic in Rome on Tuesday morning, with additional updates expected from Lazio in due course.
The defeat against Udinese marks Lazio’s twelfth loss in Serie A this season, leaving them trailing by 11 points outside the top four with only 10 matches remaining in the 2023-24 season.
In efforts to rejuvenate the team, President Claudio Lotitio and Sporting Director Angelo Fabiani have advocated for a mid-season training camp at Formello.
