Rovella Undergoes Successful Surgery In Rome As Lazio Look Toward His Rebirth

In the quiet atmosphere of the international break, Lazio completed what feels like a decisive step for the club’s future. Nicolò Rovella underwent groin surgery today at the Quisisana clinic in Rome, in an operation performed by Professor Antonio Guglielmi. The renowned specialist is well known at Formello, having already worked with Lazio in the past. The procedure was fully successful, the post operative phase began without complications, and the expected recovery time is approximately forty days before the midfielder can return to the pitch.

The intervention was necessary. Rovella’s groin problems were not just a recent setback, but a longstanding issue that has resurfaced repeatedly over the years. He had already experienced similar symptoms during Sarri’s first spell at Lazio, and this latest recurrence proved more severe than anyone anticipated.

The decision to undergo surgery came only after a long conservative approach. Rovella attempted therapy, rest, and personalized training programs in the hope of avoiding the operating room. However, none of these methods produced the breakthrough he needed. With the pain returning and progress halted, surgery became the only viable solution. Lazio made the news official through a statement confirming that the player had undergone the procedure to resolve bilateral groin pain that did not respond to conservative treatments.

The operation also carries a sense of reassurance for the club. Professor Guglielmi is the same specialist who successfully operated on Mattia Zaccagni this summer to resolve what is now referred to as groin pain syndrome. The procedure was minimally invasive, the recovery precise, and today Zaccagni is experiencing one of the best seasons of his career, marked by mobility, technical clarity, and consistency. His transformation stands as a model of what Rovella could achieve once fully recovered.

For Rovella, this surgery marks the end of a long period of suffering and uncertainty. Now begins the countdown toward his return, with the hope of regaining full mobility, restoring his rhythm, and finally playing without pain. Lazio believe that once he is freed from this chronic issue, he can become an essential part of the team’s structure and identity.

The midfielder’s journey has entered a new chapter. The focus now is on healing, rebuilding, and returning to the field with the eagle on his chest, ready to fight again for the colors of Lazio.
