Zarate has been struggling with a few niggling injuries since reaching the peninsula and joining Lazio at the beginning of the season, but despite his physical drawbacks, the striker has done extremely well and can claim a great deal of the credit for Lazio's current form and position in the league table.

The Argentinian has contributed seven goals in this campaign already and has worked tirelessly to set up others, allowing Lazio to reach fifth spot in Serie A with 23 points to their name.

The Argentinian starlet did not take part in yesterday's training session with his team mates, and was instead working with the Lazio physiotherapists regarding a problem in his left thigh that he picked up in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Genoa.

The Biancoceleste medical staff have confirmed that the injury suffered by the top scorer in Serie A is not serious.

It was previously thought that the former Birmingham City man may be forced to miss this weekend's encounter with the Nerazzurri, but Lazio fans can now be confident following the good news.

Biancocelesti coach Delio Rossi will now feel a weight lift off of his shoulders, knowing that his star player will make the trip to Atalanta's Stadio Azzurri D`Italia along with the rest of the squad.
