Lazio striker Helder Postiga’s career in Italy could be over before it even started with a back injury possibly ruling him out for rest of the season.
The Portuguese striker joined on loan from Spanish club Valencia in January as a replacement for outgoing striker Sergio Floccari, who departed to Sassuolo.
A calf injury sustained in January had ruled him out of contention for his first few matches, but he was expected to be out on the paddock sooner rather than later.
Il Tempo report however that the 31-year-old has developed a back problem, which could rule him of the Lazio’s remaining Serie A games this term.
Postiga has scored 27 goals in 66 matches for the Portuguese national team since debuting for his country in 2003.
