Marco Baroni To Make Two Changes to Lazio Lineup Against Monza

Lazio coach Marco Baroni is expected to make limited tweaks to his starting lineup when his team hosts Monza on Sunday.

The Background

The Biancocelesti are coming off a victory over Cagliari on Monday, so they’ll be looking to make it two in a row at the expense of the struggling Lombardians who currently reside at the very bottom of the Serie A table.

Returning Lazio Duo Nuno Tavares & Manuel Lazzari to Start vs Monza

According to La Lazio Siamo Noi, Baroni will adopt an almost similar lineup, with the only changes taking place in the full-back slots. Nuno Tavares and Manuel Lazzari have both recovered from their respective injuries, and they’re now expected to return immediately to the starting lineup, especially with Elseid Hysaj out with an injury, and Luca Pellegrini omitted from the Serie A squad.

The Usual Suspects

Elsewhere, the formation should remain intact, with Taty Castellanos spearheading the charge supported by the tried-and-trusted trio of Gustav Isaksen, Boulaye Dia and Mattia Zaccagni. Moreover, Nicolo Rovella and Matteo Guendouzi should combine once more in the double pivot, while Mario Gila and Alessio Romagnoli preserve their roles at the heart of the backline.

Encouraging Signs for Matias Vecino & Patric

On another note, the source reveals that Patric and Matias Vecino have finally returned to the pitch, training separately from the rest of the group. While their comebacks aren’t exactly imminent just yet, this is considered an important step on their road to recovery.

Slight Concerns for Loum Tchaouna & Toma Basic

On the contrary, Loum Tchaouna and Toma Basic unexpectedly skipped training, but it shouldn’t be a reason to ring any alarm bells, as the duo could still be part of the matchday squad this weekend.
