Lazio lose Zauri to fractured ankle Friday 18 January, 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lazio’s injury crisis shows no signs of abating, as Luciano Zauri will be out for two months with a fractured ankle.


The full-back, who has also played in central defence and midfield due to the lack of players available at the club this season, is a major loss for the team.


He sustained the injury during last night’s Coppa Italia match against Napoli, but the extent of the damage only became clear after tests this afternoon.


Lazio confirmed he has fractured the peroneal malleolus bone in his left ankle with a lesion to the ligament.


This is due to rule captain Zauri out of action for at least two months.


The Biancocelesti are already without Mobido Diakhite for the whole season, while Stephen Makinwa, Mourad Meghni, Fabio Firmani, Gaby Mudingayi, Massimo Mutarelli and Sebastiano Siviglia are set to miss this weekend’s Serie A encounter with Napoli.
