Former Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has been rushed to hospital after falling ill during a Lazio training session on Wednesday.

Sarri, 66, was reportedly unwell amid scorching temperatures in Rome that exceeded 30C in the Italian capital.

That saw Lazio release a statement to give an update on his welfare later in the day.

The club said: 'Coach Sarri is returning to Formello and, as scheduled, will lead the training session at 6:00 PM as usual.

'This morning, he underwent a thorough fitness check, more comprehensive than the tests conducted on the players at the Training Center.
