Dia & Lazzari ‘could miss’ Juventus v Lazio through injury | OneFootball

Maurizio Sarri could be without Boulaye Dia and Manuel Lazzari for Sunday’s Serie A trip to Juventus.

Il Messaggero reports that both missed training with muscle problems and could be left out of the travelling squad to Turin.

Sarri already lost Mattia Zaccagni before last Friday’s win over Genoa, and the club captain could remain sidelined for one month. Alessio Romagnoli has been training separately due to a slight muscle issue, while Patric and Samuel Gigot are long-term absentees.

Nicolo Rovella might be clinically healed but is still short of match fitness. Luca Pellegrini will serve a one-match ban against his former club after collecting his fifth yellow card of the season.

Dia’s absence should not be a major blow, as the Senegalese striker has struggled when leading the line. Sarri will likely turn to Daniel Maldini or fellow January signing Petar Ratkov at centre forward, with Tijjani Noslin offering depth from the bench.

Lazzari’s loss would be more damaging, even if he has not been a regular starter. That would leave full-back options thin, with Nuno Tavares in line for a rare start, Adam Marusic on the opposite flank, and Elseid Hysaj the only alternative.
