April 17 – Italy international striker Ciro Immobile is being treated for back and rib injuries in hospital after his car was involved in an accident.
Italian media reported Immobile, who scored in Lazio’s 3-0 win at Spezia last week, was hurt after his car collided with a tram in Rome.
A club statement read: “The player remains under observation at the department of emergency medicine directed by Professor Francesco Franceschi of the Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS in Rome. The condition is currently good.”
Sky Sport Italy said Immobile was travelling with his two daughters in the car, with the 33-year-old forward telling police that the tram allegedly ran a red light.
Seven others, including tram passengers, were also taken to hospital for checks.
Immobile has scored 10 Serie A goals this season to guide Lazio to second in the standings behind leaders Napoli.
