Lazio are hoping that Brazilian defender Luiz Felipe will be fully fit to face Roma in the derby in 9 days’ time.
According to a report from Italian radio broadcaster Radiosei (via La Lazio Siamo Noi) earlier today, Biancocelesti coach Simone Inzaghi will have to decide whether or not to include the 24-year-old Luiz Felipe in the squad for Saturday evening’s match against Fiorentina, or to wait for next week’s match against Parma.
