SS Lazio expect Czech international defender Pavel Nedved to return to action next week.

The Rome club are set to declare Nedved fully fit and he is in contention to play in a Copa Italian game next week. Nedved injured a hamstring last December 7th.

Australian midfielder Paul Okon has told a Belgian newspaper that he wants to leave Lazio as soon as possible. The 1996 signing from Bruges has not won a place in the first team and wants to leave the club and Italy.
