Frattesi ‘to start’ on full Lazio debut as Lazio visit Bologna | OneFootball

Davide Frattesi is expected to make his first Lazio start at Bologna on Monday, following his cameo in the Coppa Italia loss to Mantova. Kick-off is at 18:30 local time.

The Biancocelesti have travelled to Emilia-Romagna for their Serie A opener. Alessio Romagnoli, Gustav Isaksen and Nuno Tavares return, while Danilo Cataldi, Samuel Gigot, Patric and new signing Josip Sutalo are unavailable.

Frattesi is in line to replace Fisayo Dele-Bashiru in midfield after the Coppa tie, with Kenneth Taylor unlikely to be dropped at this stage despite an uneven summer.

Nicolo Rovella is the sole natural option as regista. The defence is expected to be unchanged, with Adam Marusic, Danilho Doekhi, Oliver Provstgaard and Alfonso Pedraza ahead of Christos Mandas.

According to La Lazio Siamo Noi, Matteo Cancellieri will keep his place alongside Boulaye Dia and Mattia Zaccagni. Meanwhile, Sky Sport Italia says Tijjani Noslin could take the right flank instead.

La Gazzetta dello Sport makes Cancellieri favourite at 60 percent, with Noslin at 40, and gives Petar Ratkov a 30 percent chance of starting over Dia. Lazio are expected to set up in a 4-3-3.
