Six Lazio Players Will be Away During the International Break
With Marusic back at Formello, only six Lazio players remain away on international duty. The men in question are Italy duo, Nicolo Rovella and Mattia Zaccagni, Greece goalkeeper Christos Mandas, Albania veteran Elseid Hysaj, Nigeria’s Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, and Senegal striker Boulaye Dia.
