Lazio Midfielder Who Is Wanted at Inter Milan Is Aiming for Coppa Italia Final Return

Lazio Regista Nicolo Rovella is working his way back to full fitness, and his objective is to start in the Coppa Italia final against Inter Milan.

The Background

The Segrate native cemented himself as a key player at the club last season under Marco Baroni, but he’s been enduring a torrid time with injuries this term. His campaign began with a groin issue that he tried to overcome through alternative therapy before eventually succumbing to surgery in November.
