Lazio playmaker Hernanes will miss the remainder of the season after tearing a thigh muscle, the club said yesterday, adding to an injury list which already includes forward Miroslav Klose.

Hernanes suffered the tear in Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Lecce in what is a new blow following the loss of Klose and also midfielder Christian Brocchi last week.

Lazio are trying to hold on to third place in the Serie A table and book a Champions League qualifying round berth.
