Lucas BIGLIA’s injury could likely be a long term one.

The Lazio captain has undergone medical tests for his injury suffered on Sunday and it appears he could be out for three months, according to Football-Italia. It is believed that he has torn his left calf. Should that be the case, not only would BIGLIA miss October’s World Cup Qualifying matches (which was already a certainty) but as well as the November fixtures against Brazil and Colombia.

Moving to Spain, Sergio ARAUJO scored a massive goal for Las Palmas in their come from behind draw 2-2 draw against Real Madrid.

Alexander SZYMANOWSKI has scored for Leganes in their 2-1 loss to Valencia. SZYMANOWSKI also had a penalty saved in the match.

In Italy, Diego SIMEONE’s son, Gio SIMEONE has scored his first goal in Italy for Genoa as they drew 1-1 against Pescara.

It’s apparently injury Sunday for Argentine players as a second casualty has fallen.

Augusto FERNANDEZ’s injury problems persist as he was substituted off on a stetcher for Atletico Madrid. The injury for Augusto appears to be in his right knee. It did not look good for FERNANDEZ.

FERNANDEZ, along with Lucas BIGLIA, is the second Argentine player to be substituted off due to an injury on Sunday.
