Lazio midfielder Daniel Guerini has tragically died at the age of 19 in a car accident

Italian media reported on Wednesday night that the teenager had passed away following a car accident in Rome.

Guerini played for Lazio’s Primavera youth team after joining from Torino in January, while he also previously spent time with SPAL and Fiorentina as well as representing Italy at Under-15 and Under-16 level.

“Still incredulous and shocked by pain, the President, the men and women of the Lazio Sports Club gather around the family of the young Daniel Guerini,” Lazio tweeted on Thursday.
