Lazio have confirmed that Mattia Zaccagni and Danilo Cataldi have not made the matchday squad for Monday evening’s Serie A match against Udinese, which means that there could be an outing for veteran Pedro at the Stadio Olimpico this evening.
It’s a midtable battle between the ninth-placed Lazio and the 11th-placed Udinese in the capital on Monday night. Maurizio Sarri’s side are hoping to put a run together after beating Napoli 2-0 last time out in Serie A and overcoming Atalanta on penalties in the Coppa Italia semi-final on Wednesday.
The Biancocelesti are without two key first-team players in Zaccagni, who is still struggling with the after-effects of a quadriceps injury, and Cataldi, who misses out through illness. Neither have been included in the matchday squad.

Nicolo Rovella is available to Sarri again, but he is not expected to be thrown into the starting line-up on this occasion.
Reports from Sky Sport Italia indicate that Pedro will start on Lazio’s left wing in the absence of Zaccagni, but it remains to be seen whether it will be Boulaye Dia or Daniel Maldini starting in the middle of the attack. Sarri is tipped to name a midfield three of Kenneth Taylor, Toma Basic and Patric.
Despite their defeat against Parma last week, Udinese are not expected to make any major personnel changes against Lazio, although there are reports that Adam Buksa could come into the starting line-up. Leading goalscorer Keinan Davis is unavailable through injury.
Kick-off is due at 19.45 BST.
