Lazio's Adam Marusic sidelined again after injury setback

Lazio will be without defender Adam Marusic for at least another week due to an injury relapse. The Montenegrin has not played since suffering a muscle strain on the opening day of the Serie A season against Bologna. Marusic had been expected to return for the match against Monza this weekend, but reports indicate he experienced a setback while attempting to regain fitness. The club will continue to rely on Romano Floriani Mussolini at right-back, with Manuel Lazzari available as an option. Marusic could potentially return for the match against Juventus on October 18.
