When Will Lazio Duo Tavares & Sutalo Return to Action

Lazio defenders Nuno Tavares and Josip Sutalo face several weeks on the sidelines after sustaining injuries during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Napoli. Left-back Tavares aggravated a muscle issue and was replaced at halftime, while center-back Sutalo suffered a pulled hamstring during the first half. Both players withdrew from international duty to undergo clinical tests and begin treatment at the club's Formello training ground.

According to reports, Tavares faces an estimated three-week recovery, while Sutalo could miss three to four weeks. Neither player is expected back before December, ruling them out against Lecce and Torino, with doubts over the Atalanta clash. Lazio manager Gennaro Gattuso prioritizes having both defenders fit in time for the Derby della Capitale against Roma on December 13.
