Lazio coach Stefano Pioli was left hopeful over Lucas Biglia's injury as he looked ahead to Wednesday's Champions League clash against Bayer Leverkusen.
Biglia, a reported transfer target for Manchester United, came off in the 52nd minute of Lazio's 2-1 Serie A win over Bologna on Saturday.
The club confirmed Biglia, who opened the scoring in the victory, had suffered a calf injury that would require further tests to determine its severity.
Pioli was hopeful as Lazio prepare to head to Germany for the play-off having won the first leg 1-0.
"Our next game is hugely important as it'll tell us which European competition we will take part in," he told Sky Sport Italia.
"The team is competitive. Unfortunately, we had a few too many injuries and hope Lucas Biglia doesn't have anything serious."
Leverkusen will also take winning form into the second leg after overcoming Hannover 1-0 in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Monaco welcome Valencia to the Stade Louis II with the La Liga outfit holding a 3-1 advantage.
Both failed to win league matches on Saturday as Monaco were held at Toulouse and Valencia drew at Rayo Vallecano.
