Immobile Returns to Lazio Facility Following Car Crash

Ciro Immobile made his return to the Lazio training center Wednesday, a few days after his car accident. The striker spent extra time at the Gemelli hospital to stay close to his daughter, who was in the vehicle with him. She has been discharged as well after getting treatment for liver problems.

Per La Gazzetta dello Sport, the striker is in reasonably good shape. He was welcomed warmly by his teammates and coach Maurizio Sarri, who had stayed in touch with him. He wasn’t supposed to practice in any capacity but did some work on the stationary bike. The center-forward gave a pump-up speech to the squad ahead of the next matches.

Immobile is recovering from three separate injuries: a spinal column sprain, a cracked rib, and a biceps femoris strain in his right arm. The second one will take the longest time to heal. However, he’s eager to return as soon as possible and willing to play with the help of painkillers. He might be ready for April 30th’s game versus Inter.

The authorities continue to look into the accident, but there’s no video of it. It happened at a very tricky and dangerous intersection. Both the Biancocelesti star and the tram’s driver claimed they didn’t burn a red light. The City stated that the traffic signal worked regularly, although some citizens noted it occasionally malfunctioned in previous days. Immobile said that he was respecting speed limits. Thirteen people received medical attention after the crash, but they have all left the hospital since.
