Lazio confirm Hernanes blow

Lazio have confirmed that playmaker Hernanes will miss their remaining games this season due to a thigh injury.

The Brazil international suffered the 'first-to-second-degree tear to his left thigh muscle' during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Lecce and faces up to six weeks on the sidelines. The loss of Hernanes, who has been linked to Juventus ahead of the summer transfer window, will be a blow to Lazio as they look to hold on to third place in Serie A.
