Lazio lose Pedro and Noslin for Atalanta showdown

Lazio will be without both Pedro and Tijjani Noslin for the Serie A showdown with leaders Atalanta after tests showed injuries.

While the Aquile are going to take a couple of days off for Christmas, they are back on the pitch with a big match against Atalanta on Saturday December 28.

Following the 2-1 victory away to Lecce on Saturday, the Biancocelesti medical staff performed tests at the Villa Mafalda clinic today.

Lazio injury updates

A statement from the club confirmed that Pedro has sustained a low grade lesion to the semi-membrane of the right thigh.

Sky Sport Italia report that this type of injury will need a couple of weeks for a full recovery, so Pedro is also a major doubt for the January 5 Derby della Capitale against his old club Roma.

Noslin sprained his right ankle during the final minutes of the Lecce game and there is no serious damage, but he will be out for the Atalanta game.

Coach Marco Baroni hopes to have the former Verona striker ready to face Roma in the first game of 2025.

He is already sure to be without Matias Vecino for two to three months.
