Huge Relief at Lazio as Boulaye Dia Gets Medically Cleared

Everyone at Lazio can breathe a collective sigh of relief as Boulaye Dia has been medically cleared from malaria.

Malaria Fears

The 28-year-old was called up for international duty, but upon his arrival in his home country of Senegal, he reportedly tested positive for malaria, causing major concerns among the Biancocelesti who feared for his health. Moreover, the player was expected to remain out of action possibly for 20 days or more.

Nevertheless, Lazio fans received positive news in recent hours. La Lazio Siamo Noi reported that the player’s latest malaria tests returned negative. This means that either the initial tests were false, or that the parasite has recently exited his system. Some medical experts suggested that the player may have been carrying it since the October international break.

Back to Rome

The official Lazio website has confirmed the news through an official note, revealing that the former Salernitana man will return to the Italian capital on Monday before resuming training at Formello on the following day.

Delight for Marco Baroni

This is a major boost for Lazio coach Marco Baroni who considers the Senegalese an instrumental player in his 4-2-3-1 system. He often plays as a second striker or an attacking midfielder behind Taty Castellanos.
