Maurizio Sarri and Claudio Lotito have been hard at work firing up the Lazio squad ahead of the Derby della Capitale against Roma.

The upcoming derby between the two Roman sides is key for both teams this season as they desperately fight for European qualification. The Biancocelesti currently sit 5th in the table with 59 points, one ahead of the Giallorossi and Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta.

Lotito is also involved and they’ve made it clear that the training retreat in Formello is option tomorrow, with only the dinner being mandatory.

This could be the last Derby della Capitale for a number of Lazio veterans as Patric, Thomas Strakosha, Lucas Leiva and Luiz Felipe, who all have contracts that expire in the summer.
