Lazio have confirmed that midfielder Lorik Cana will be sidelined for around two months after picking up a back injury.
A knock to the Albania captain compounded the capital club's 4-0 defeat to Siena at the weekend in Serie A, as the 28-year-old was replaced by Alvaro Gonzalez just after half time.
Cana missed Tuesday night's 3-2 Coppa Italia win over Hellas Verona, and will need to spend over a month resting before starting training again with Edy Reja’s men.
''Cana underwent tests that revealed a fracture of the apophysis transverse in his second and third lumbar vertebrae," a statement meant from the club reads.
"The player will have to rest for 40 days and the recovery time period is estimated at two months.''
Cana's injury is made all the worse due to the fact that both Stefano Mauri and Christian Brocchi are also unavailable for selection, with the midfield duo nursing ailments.
Lazio will look to get back to winning ways in Serie A in their next match, as they take on Atalanta at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday.
