Four Lazio Players Set to Recover for Lecce Clash, but Cancellieri Remains Behind | OneFootball

Lazio are expected to regain the services of four players after the international break, but Matteo Cancellieri won’t be available.

Maurizio Sarri Set For Major Injury Boost

The Biancocelesti have been struggling with injuries since the start of the season, but the situation is beginning to ease off on this front. The international break also represents a perfect opportunity for the technical staff to reintroduce recovering players back to the fold, away from the pressure of match preparation.

Lazio Welcome Back Taty Castellanos & Nuno Tavares

La Lazio Siamo Noi reveals that Maurizio Sarri’s men have resumed training on Wednesday after two days of rest. The squad thus regathered in the afternoon, and this includes Nuno Tavares and Taty Castellanos, who will be available for next week’s contest against Lecce.

Fisayo Dele-Bashiru Has Recovered But he Won’t Play

In addition to the Argentine striker and the Portuguese left-back, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru has also overcome his muscle problem. However, the Nigerian was dropped from the Serie A squad in favor of Toma Basic, and Sarri is unlikely to make any changes to the list at this stage, especially since the 24-year-old will be leaving in December to participate in the African Cup of Nations.

Nevertheless, Dele-Bashiru is eligible to play against Milan in the Coppa Italia Round of 16 on December 4.

Nicolo Rovella Set for Moment of Truth

Moreover, Nicolo Rovella will gradually rejoin group training in the coming days. The Italian midfielder has opted against undergoing surgery to repair a groin issue that has been hampering him for months, instead choosing an alternative therapy. The Regista will be hoping to get a call-up against Lecce. His ability to cope with the pressure will indicate whether or not he made a wise choice.

Matteo Cancellieri Won’t Return Imminently

On the other hand, Cancellieri will need another two or three weeks on the treatment table to fully recover from the muscle injury he picked up in Bergamo last month. The 23-year-old was one of the team’s most in-form players prior to his knock.
