Lazio's Gattuso faces injury concerns after Napoli draw as Sutalo and Tavares suffer hamstring issues

Lazio returned from their draw at Napoli with two new injury problems for coach Gattuso, according to Corriere dello Sport. Sutalo was forced off in the first half and Tavares at half-time, both with suspected hamstring strains, though the club is treating the two cases differently.

Gattuso said Sutalo felt a pull in his hamstring and will not join his national team, with the severity of the lesion still to be determined. Tavares, by contrast, arrived at the match already struggling: the coach praised him for playing through a hamstring contracture despite training little, and the Portuguese player lasted until the interval.

The international break gives Lazio time to assess both players and recover others from the treatment room. Zaccagni, who travelled to Naples despite his injury, is due a scan on Monday or Wednesday to establish whether his edema stems from the knock sustained against Cagliari or a muscle tear. Gudmundsson, out for 45 days with a shoulder problem picked up on international duty, is targeting Saturday's test against Mgarr United to begin building minutes.
