Lazio call state of emergency Saturday 25 August, 2007
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Delio Rossi and President Claudio Lotito realise something must be done after
yet more injuries. “Lazio are like a hospital at the moment!”
The Biancocelesti were held to a 2-2 draw by Torino at the Stadio Olimpico,
but there was worse news in store for the club.
Modibo Diakhite’ was stretchered off with a fractured tibia and could well
be out for the rest of the season, while Aleksander Kolarov sustained a
suspected thigh strain.
The shortage of defenders meant Emilson Cribari had to play as a substitute
just 10 days after surgery to correct a fractured cheekbone – and injury
that was originally expected to keep him sidelined for two months.
“It is a complete state of emergency here. It is not possible that we
continue to suffer all these injuries, it feels like we’re cursed,” said
President Lotito.
“We absolutely need to do something for the defence, because we have nobody
left. We’re like a hospital at the moment.”
The latest casualties join Guglielmo Stendardo and Stefano Mauri on the
sidelines, while Massimo Mutarelli and Valon Behrami are suspended for next
week’s Champions League qualifier at Dinamo Bucharest.
“It’s a shame we drew this match, as we clearly played better than
Torino,” added Coach Rossi.
“For the last two months I have been forced to only make changes for
injuries rather than tactical choices. I won’t say we’re unlucky, as
I try to look at the positives, such as Cribari’s ability to help the
team despite multiple fractures to his face.”
