Samuel Gigot - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Undergoes ankle surgery Gigot went under the knife to address an ankle injury and will rehab in France, Lazio announced.

Impact Gigot dealt with back problems during the summer and had already been excluded from the Serie A list and took the opportunity to address a dated physical problem to get healthy ahead of the next transfer market window.

Not part of the plans Gigot (back) hasn't been inserted in the seasonal list, Lazio communicated.

Impact Gigot dealt with a nagging back problem throughout the summer and has become the fifth option in his role, making him expendable since the team had to make some cuts. He could be reintegrated before January only in case of severe injuries. Mario Gila, Alessio Romagnoli, Patric, and Oliver Provstgaard will be the center-backs in the coming months.

Ruled out for opener Gigot will sit out Sunday's clash with Como due to a back problem, Corriere dello Sport informed.

Impact Gigot hasn't been involved in the last few friendlies both due to injury and because he might leave the club. The situation is unlikely to change for the second round. With Alessio Romagnoli suspended, Oliver Prostvgaard or Adam Marusic will join Mario GIla in the middle of the defense.

Posts six clearances versus Empoli Gigot had one tackle (one won), six clearances, two blocks and one interception in Sunday's 1-0 win over Empoli.

Impact Gigot got the call over Mario Gila after not playing in three consecutive fixtures and turned in a solid shift in a not particularly challenging match-up. It remains to be seen whether this display will help garner more minutes down the stretch. He has registered multiple clearances in five of his last six appearances, piling up 32 and adding three tackles (all won) and four blocks and contributing to one clean sheet. He has notched one or more interceptions in eight straight outings, totaling 13.

Sees red against Viktoria Plzen Gigot was sent off late in Thursday's 2-1 victory over Viktoria Plzen.

Impact Gigot was expelled for a rough foul and won't be available for the return leg next Thursday. Two among Mario Gila, Alessio Romagnoli and Patric will start in the back.

MARCH 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out versus Real Sociedad Gigot will miss Thursday's match against Real Sociedad due to yellow-card accumulation.

Impact Gigot won't be involved in the penultimate fixture of the Europa League group stage as he has been booked three times already. Alessio Romagnoli and Mario Gila will team up in the back since Patric (ankle) is missing.

JANUARY 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fills in well against Como Gigot recorded one tackle (one won), six clearances, one block and two interceptions in Friday's 1-1 draw against Como.

Impact Gigot was tasked with replacing Mario Gila (suspension) and turned in a good shift, including a pair of clutch clearances on shots that might have gone in without him. He should be more involved thanks to the upcoming busy schedule and Patric's (ankle) injury. He has recorded three tackles (two won), four interceptions, 11 clearances and two blocks in his last four appearances (two starts).

JANUARY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Unused versus Lecce Gigot (head) didn't play in Saturday's 2-1 win over Lecce.

Impact Gigot was cleared after a head injury, but the starters Mario Gila and Alessio Romagnoli played the whole game in this one. He'll fight for backup minutes with Patric going forward.

DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Gigot (head) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Lecce.

Impact Gigot was cleared ahead of the game, so it is no surprise to see the defender on the bench Saturday. He has yet to start in league play this season and has seen most of his time in Europa League play, so expect him to likely continue seeing a bench role.

DECEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for Lecce game Gigot (head) didn't skip practice time after subbing off early against Lecce, Tuttomercatoweb informed.

Impact Gigot didn't suffer serious consequences after a blow to the head and will be an option against Lecce on Saturday. Mario Gila (head) and Alessio Romagnoli (knee) are also available, limiting his chances of getting big minutes. He has logged five tackles (four won), six interceptions and seven clearances in his last five appearances (one start), scoring once and contributing to one clean sheet.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Subs in and out versus Inter Gigot had one clearance in 17 minutes in Monday's loss to Inter as he bowed out due to a possible head injury, Corriere dello Sport relayed.

Impact Gigot was inserted in the first half as Mario Gila experienced something similar, caused a penalty kick due to a handball and was kicked in the head in the same action, eventually leaving at halftime. He'll be evaluated in the coming days. The coach had to adapt Adam Marusic to the middle of the defense due to several absences in the role.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores against Bologna Gigot scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target) and one clearance and was booked in 45 minutes in Sunday's 3-0 victory versus Bologna.

Impact Gigot came in at the interval to replace Alessio Romagnoli (undisclosed) and opened the scoring with a tap-in on a corner kick for his first goal of the season. He'd likely have the edge over Patric if the starter had to miss some time. He has posted two tackles (one won), eight interceptions and eight clearances in his six showings (two starts), with no clean sheets.

NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unused on bench Gigot (shoulder) was an unused substitute during Thursday's 4-1 over Nice.

Impact Gigot was back on the bench for Thursday's clash, but wasn't called upon during the comfortable win. His first chance back in the team will be a Sunday clash with Empoli, the last match before the international break.

OCTOBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could return versus Nice Gigot (shoulder) was spotted training regularly Wednesday ahead of the Europa League game versus Nice, Radiosei informed.

Impact Gigot ramped up in practice after missing three matches with a shoulder contusion and is likely to be an option on Thursday, restoring Lazio's depth in the back.

OCTOBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Absent for Torino game Gigot (shoulder) won't be back Sunday against Torino, Tuttomercatoweb relayed.

Impact Gigot has continued to work separately from the team in recent days and is at risk also for the next two fixtures. Lazio might be very thin in the back since Patric (thigh) is touch and go. Mario Gila and Alessio Romagnoli will get the nod.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Stays out versus Dynamo Kyiv Gigot (shoulder) won't be available versus Dynamo Kyiv on Wednesday, Il Messaggero reported.

Impact Gigot avoided major shoulder injuries but didn't return to full training following the Fiorentina game. His next opportunity will come Sunday versus Torino.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers shoulder injury Gigot picked up a left shoulder contusion and will take further tests in the coming days, Lazio relayed.

Impact Gigot has already been ruled out for the Fiorentina match, and his timetable will hinge on the ensuing exams after the early ones excluded overly serious issues. He has yet to play since switching sides.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to Lazio Gigot has transferred to Lazio on a permanent move, the Serie A site confirmed.

Impact Gigot transfers to Italy after two solid campaigns at Marseille shortly after Nicolo Casale's departure, whom he will replace as one of the top defensive deputies behind Mario Gila and Alessio Romagnoli. He recorded 46 tackels, 27 interceptions and 109 clearances in 29 appearances in the past campaign, contributing to three clean sheets.

AUGUST 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Enters concussion protocol Gigot has entered a concussion protocol and is ruled out for Monday's match versus Montpellier, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Gigot has suffered a blow to the head during the midweek game versus Toulouse and was unable to practice after that still feeling the effects of the hit. Eric Bailly is now fully fit and should take his spot at center-back.

DECEMBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes six clearances against Monaco Gigot had one off-target shot and made six clearances and three interceptions during Sunday's 3-2 win over Monaco.

Impact Gigot was questionable for his one but not only was able to play for 83 minutes but also had some nice numbers, highlighted by a game-high six clearances. The center-back is experiencing lot of ups and downs so far this season but more performances like this one can very well help him becoming a regular starter for the second half of the campaign.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Probable against Monaco Gigot (ankle) has returned to training and should be available for Sunday's match versus Monaco, according to coach Igor Tudor.

Impact Eric Bailly, Gigot, Pape Gueye and Jordan Veretout are all arriving this weekend with problems but everyone appears to be back in training according to Tudor. Gigot only suffered his issue last weekend and his quick return to the pitch likely means he'll be starting here again. He's now coming off scoring and holding a clean sheet but will be facing a tough match up versus the in-form Monegasques.

NOVEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Heads home winner, exits injured Gigot scored on his lone shot and held a clean sheet but was replaced in the 61st minute of Sunday's 1-0 win over Lyon with a suspected ankle injury.

Impact Gigot was having a terrific game after holding on his own defensively while heading home the winner of the game in the first half when he took a rough hit on his ankle forcing him out of the pitch early. Even if he recovers on time for next weekend though he still could go back to the bench with Sead Kolasinac getting the nod at center-back.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available for Spurs clash Gigot (suspension) will be available for Tuesday's match versus Tottenham Hotspurs.

Impact Gigot has now served his domestic suspension and should be well rested for the clash with Spurs on Tuesday. That being said though, he still won't be guaranteed to get the nod in this affair. Sead Kolasinac was replaced fairly early and likely being rested which would allow him to start again versus Spurs keeping Gigot on the bench.

OCTOBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gets sent off in Le Classique Gigot was given a straight red card in the 73rd minute of Sunday's match versus PSG.

Impact Gigot came off the bench early in the first half but lasted less than an hour before making a reckless tackle with studs up on Neymar taking him down from behind and immediately saw his marching orders. That's his second dismissal already this season only in these early stages of the campaign.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Keeps clean sheet versus Angers Gigot held a clean sheet and added two tackles (one won), three interceptions and two clearances in Friday's 3-0 win over Angers.

Impact Gigot and the Marseille back line finally held first clean sheet in last five matches but they also held four in last eight affairs. The center-back also scored in his previous start but has only taken shots in two affairs all season.
