Veteran Lazio striker Miroslav Klose is expected to be sidelined for several weeks after being diagnosed with a left thigh muscle injury, according to the Serie A club's doctor. Klose hobbled off at half-time during Lazio's 1-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday in the first leg of their Champions League play-off.

Replacement Keita Balde scored the winning goal for the Biancocelesti in midweek, but they could now be without the 37-year-old German Klose for up to four games, according to Stefano Salvatori. "The diagnosis went as we expected," Salvatori told Lazio Style Radio. "He will be sidelined for the next few games, but after the (early September) international break we'll see how he is."
