Opening draws
The Italian club, who were considering fielding the Argentinian international against AC Milan on Sunday, have elected instead not to risk the 25-year-old, who will go under the knife on Sunday morning. The UEFA Champions League hopefuls have decided to take advantage of the break for international fixtures although it is not thought that Ledesma, who has played in both of Lazio's Group C draws to date, will be fit in time for the Matchday 3 visit of Werder Bremen on 24 October as he is expected to be out for between three and four weeks.
