Lazio have confirmed the results of tests on the latest injury to striker Taty Castellanos, who is expected to be out for at least another couple of weeks.

The centre-forward had only just made his return to the squad following a month-long lay-off and was not even fit enough to come off the bench in their 5-0 defeat to Bologna.

Castellanos suffers new injury setback

He suffered another muscular problem in training and tests today confirmed there is no lesion to the soleus in the left leg, but only a small pull.

According to Sky Sport Italia, this type of injury will require circa two more weeks on the treatment table, but it certainly slows down the process of getting him back to full fitness.

Castellanos has not played for Lazio since the first adductor injury on February 15.

The 26-year-old has scored 12 goals along with eight assists in 31 competitive games so far this season, taking Lazio to the Europa League quarter-finals.
