Alessio Romagnoli certainly stands as one of the most important players for the Italian club leading into the new season. So, the club’s hierarchy would be desperate to have him fully fit and mobile as the 204-25 season approaches its start. However, they wouldn’t be willing to take any chances with him and wait for any further updates from the medical team before taking any decision.
In the 2022-23 Serie A season, Romagnoli went on to play 34 matches for Lazio. He further followed it up by making 29 appearances in the previous season. The nine matches he missed in the last season, were due to several different injury issues at specific points in the season. Other than that he made on-field appearances in all the remaining games for that campaign.
