As for Biglia, tests ruled out fractures to his sprained right ankle and the initial diagnosis was a three-week lay-off.

However, today chief medic Roberto Bianchini told Lazio Style Radio that more tests are required after the initial bruising and swelling has gone down.

There is still the possibility of ligament damage.

Dusan Basta has resumed full training, while Ricardo Kishna, Santiago Gentiletti and Federico Marchetti should be back working with the squad next week.
