Danilo Cataldi
LAZ
Undergoes surgery
Cataldi went under the knife to address a sports hernia, Corriere dello Sport informed.
Analysis: Cataldi tried to play through the injury in the final months of the campaign but routinely missed time after being a starter for most of the year. He's expected to be ready by the start of the pre-season preparation. He scored and assisted thrice and added 23 key passes, 48 crosses (12 accurate) and 34 tackles in 27 appearances in 2025/2026.
Stays on the shelf
Cataldi (groin) hasn't been selected for Monday's match against Cremonese.
Analysis: Cataldi has shaken off the flu but is dealing with a different and more relevant injury and will be re-evaluated next week. Patric or Nicolo Rovella will take his place in the midfield.
Nursing also groin injury
Cataldi is dealing with a burgenoining sports hernia in addition to the flu and recurrent calf issues, La Repubblica reported.
Analysis: Cataldi missed the last match with an illness but had been managed in previous tilts because of muscular problems, and he's a heavy doubt for Monday's away game versus Cremonese, even though he has a few more days at his disposal to get healthier. Patric and Nicolo Rovella are the alternatives in his role.
Will miss Udinese game
Cataldi won't be an option Monday due to the flu, Lazio announced.
Analysis: Cataldi came down with an illness overnight and won't be involved in this one. He'll likely return versus Cremonese next Monday. Patric and Reda Belahyane are the next men up at the position.
