Lazio star Ciro Immobile is expected to return to the starting lineup for the team’s first match of 2022 against Empoli.
The 31-year-old Italian striker missed the last two games before the international break due to the flu and COVID, but he has since returned to full fitness and so now he’ll be ready to lead the Biancocelesti’s forward line against the Tuscan side tomorrow.
