Italy striker Ciro Immobile is being treated for back and rib injuries in hospital after his car was involved in an accident with a tram in Rome.
Photographs show police at the scene of a collision between a tram and a car.
Immobile, 33, scored in Lazio’s 3-0 Serie A win at Spezia on Friday.
Lazio said he had a “sprain trauma of the spine” and a “compound fracture” of his right rib but that “conditions are currently good”.
A club statement read: “The player remains under observation at the department of emergency medicine directed by Professor Francesco Franceschi of the Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS in Rome.”
Immobile is known as one of the greatest marksman of all-time in Italy, with 192 goals in 314 Serie A games.
After breaking through as a youngster with Pescara and Genoa, he has also represented Torino, Sevilla, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Siena and Grosetto during his career, before he moved to Lazio in 2016.
The Eagles are due to be back in action with a home game against Torino next Saturday, but it remains to be seen whether Immobile will be fit enough to feature.
