Lazio’s confirmed starting lineup for this evening’s Coppa Italia clash against Udinese has been released.

As seen in a post on Lazio’s Twitter page earlier today, Biancocelesti coach Maurizio Sarri has hardly rotated the squad for the cup match, with multiple players unavailable due to injuries like Francesco Acerbi and Pedro, although star striker Ciro Immobile was dropped in favour of Vedat Muriqi.

Lazio Have a Strong Recent History in the Coppa Italia but It’s a Different Story for Sarri

The winner of this evening’s Coppa Italia clash will face AC Milan in the quarter finals.

Udinese have had a tough start to 2022; their first match of the new year against Fiorentina was suspended due to a serious COVID outbreak in the squad, and following that they lost to Atalanta 6-2 and to Juventus 2-0. Their next match is against Genoa on Saturday afternoon.
