Lazio talisman Ciro Immobile is not expected to start in tomorrow’s Europa League match against Galatasaray.

As reported by Italian media outlet La Lazio Siamo Noi earlier today, the 31-year-old Italian striker is suffering from a knee injury suffered in the 3-1 win over Sampdoria and so is likely to be rested in tomorrow’s decisive European clash.

Below is Lazio’s probable starting lineup for tomorrow’s Europa League match against Galatasaray:

  • Lazio (4-3-3): Pepe Reina; Manuel Lazzari, Luiz Felipe, Francesco Acerbi, Elseid Hysaj; Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Lucas Leiva, Luis Alberto; Felipe Anderson, Vedat Muriqi, Mattia Zaccagni.

The winner of tomorrow’s match will finish top of Group E, meaning that they’ll directly qualify to the Europa League Round of 16.

The loser will finish second, meaning that they’ll need to play two play-off matches against a third placed Champions League team in February next year.

Last time these two teams met, Galatasaray won 1-0 after goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha made a disastrous mistake to gift the Turkish side the three points.
