Ciro Immobile isn't having his best season with Lazio. The four-time top scorer in Serie A (2013-2014, 2017-2018, 2019-2020 and 2021-2022), famous Capocannoniere, only has 10 goals in 23 matches this campaign.

Now, in terrible news, Ciro Immobile has been involved in a serious car crash. Read here to find out what happened with Lazio's striker and what's the latest injury update from the hospital in Italy.
