Lazio coach Marco Baroni is set to ring the changes once more, as six players will reportedly return to the starting lineup for Sunday’s encounter against Torino.
The Biancocelesti suffered a defeat in their last Serie A outing at the hands of Fiorentina, albeit in controversial fashion. Nevertheless, the club earned a morale-boosting win in their Europa League opening fixture, beating Dynamo Kyiv by three unanswered goals in Hamburg.
Baroni had completely revamped the lineup for the European contest, making eight changes to the starting XI. But despite the strong showing from the likes of Pedro and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, the Italian tactician will revert to his usual regular starters, reports La Lazio Siamo Noi.
The source expects Taty Castellanos to make his return after missing last week’s trip to Florence due to injury, thus dropping Boulaye Dia into a deeper role. The Argentine was available for the mid-week Europa League contest, but Baroni opted against risking him, especially with the team enjoying a three-goal cushion.
Six Lazio Players To Regain Starting Roles Vs Torino
Lazio captain Mattia Zaccagni will also reclaim his automatic starting berth on the left wing. On the opposite flank, Loum Tchaouna will be hoping to maintain his spot, but will have to ward off competition from Gustav Isaksen and Tijjani Noslin.
Matteo Guendouzi will regain his starting spot in the middle of the park. He will likely rekindle his partnership with Nicolo Rovella, while Gaetano Castrovilli could fall short in his quest to earn a place in the lineup.
Moreover, Manuel Lazzari, Nuno Tavares and Mario Gila should return to the backline, joining Alessio Romagnoli. Meanwhile, Samuel Gigot will likely remain out of action, while Patric remains doubtful after picking up a knock in Hamburg.
