Lazio's Danilo Cataldi could miss start of season with injury

Lazio midfielder Danilo Cataldi is expected to be sidelined until October due to a groin injury that required surgery. Having played a crucial role for Lazio last season, Cataldi's absence leaves the team with limited midfield options, especially as Nicolo Rovella is also recovering from an injury. Cataldi underwent the procedure in Barcelona after struggling with pain throughout the previous season. As a result, Lazio will likely need to rely on other players, such as the promising Bruno Galassi, until Cataldi is fit to return.
