Ciro Immobile is still training alone in Formello but is expected to join the Lazio squad for the upcoming Derby della Capitale with Roma.

The 33-year-old Italian striker has struggled for minor injury complaints for the entirety of this season and was again forced to the sidelines recently due to an issue with his biceps femoris muscle.

Despite his injury concerns, Immobile is still the focal point of the Lazio attack and an important figure in the dressing room, being an example to the younger players and a figure to rally behind.

As reported by Il Messaggero (via LazioNews24), Immobile is not set to take part in the upcoming derby with Roma, continuing his personalised training work in Formello.

Despite his injury, Maurizio Sarri is set to call up the Biancocelesti captain for the Rome derby, handing him a symbolic call-up to help the squad off the pitch, something that happened in the first match with the Giallorossi earlier this season.
