“The player remains under observation in the emergency medicine department headed by Professor Francesco Franceschi of the Agostino Gemelli IRCCS University Polyclinic in Rome,” it read.
Lazio will face Torino on April 22, but Immobile is expected to miss that match. Others could be lost in the future as well.
One of Serie A’s top scorers, Immobile led the league in goals last season with 27 in 31 games to win the Golden Boot. He has also won that award in 2020, 2018 and 2014.
