Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri faces a setback as Daniel Maldini and Adam Marusic are injured ahead of the Fiorentina match. Maldini is dealing with an inflamed patellar tendon and will be evaluated for the upcoming Napoli game.
Double Blow for Lazio as Two Sarri Favorites Sustain Injuries Ahead of Fiorentina Match
Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri is forced to reshuffle his lineup after losing the services of Daniel Maldini and Adam Marusic just before the trip to Florence.
According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Maldini has been suffering from an inflamed patellar tendon, which ruled him out of Mondayâs away contest against Fiorentina. The versatile attacker will be assessed ahead of next weekendâs clash against Napoli before making a decision on his availability.
On the other hand, Marusic is dealing with a more serious condition. The Montenegrin has a muscle problem, and the medical staff fear this could be a strain. The 33-year-old will likely sit out the next clash against Napoli, and he even risks missing the all-important second-leg clash against Atalanta in the Coppa Italia semi-final on April 22.
Maldini and Marusic are considered almost automatic starters in Sarriâs lineup, so the manager will have to make new selections on Monday. The Italian forward will likely be replaced by Boulaye Dia, who is ahead of Petar Ratkov in the pecking order.
However, the identity of the starting wingers remains uncertain, as Tijjani Noslin and Matteo Cancellieri have been gaining ground on Pedro and Gustav Isaksen. The good news for Sarri is that Mattia Zaccagni should return to the squad after training alongside his teammates over the past few days, but he wonât be fit enough to start.
With Marusic out of the equation, Manuel Lazzari should get the nod at right-back, especially following his impressive cameo against Parma. The former SPAL man should join Alessio Romagnoli, Oliver Provstgaard, and Nuno Tavares at the back.
In the middle of the park, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru should be available after overcoming muscle fatigue, but Sarri could be tempted to deploy Toma Basic, even though the Croatian hasnât made an appearance in over two months.
Lazio Probable XI (4-3-3): Motta; Lazzari, Romagnoli, Provstgaard, Tavares; Basic (Dele-Bashiru), Cataldi, Taylor; Isaksen (Cancellieri), Dia, Pedro (Noslin).
