Lazio head coach Maurizio Sarri is reportedly considering an attacking overhaul for Sunday’s Serie A contest against Torino.
Lazio Set for Rotation Against Torino
The Biancocelesti will head north this weekend, but their focus remains on next Wednesday’s clash against Atalanta in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final. Therefore, La Lazio Siamo Noi expects the manager to rotate his lineup and rest some of his key players while taking the opportunity to field those who had limited playing time lately.
Ratkov, Noslin & Cancellieri to Start for Lazio vs Torino?
Petar Ratkov could lead the line against Torino, with Daniel Maldini relegated to the bench. The 22-year-old is the most natural No.9 in Lazio’s squad, but Sarri has been reluctant to play him. Nevertheless, the Serbian has reportedly been working hard in training and could finally receive his opportunity.
Moreover, the manager could rest Gustav Isaksen and Mattia Zaccagni, who only recently returned from injury, and give the nod to Matteo Cancellieri and Tijjani Noslin. The source also believes Boulaye Dia is in the running, but the Senegalese is suffering from the flu, so his availability remains uncertain.
Basic & Gila Out, Lazzari is Back
The source also reveals that Toma Basic and Mario Gila will likely skip the trip to Turin, as they have yet to return to group training. Pedro and Samuel Gigot are also on the sidelines, as is Nicolo Rovella, who underwent surgery on Monday. But the good news is that Manuel Lazzari has rejoined his teammates in training.
Two Uncertainties at the Back
With Gila unavailable, Patric and Oliver Provstgaard will be vying for a starting role at the back, unless Sarri decides to rest Alessio Romagnoli and play them both. Nuno Tavares and Luca Pellegrini are also battling for a spot on the left flank, while Adam Marusic should keep his place on the right.
