Lazio Boost As Italy Defender Pushes To Face Inter Milan Despite Injury Doubts | OneFootball

Lazio defender Alessio Romagnoli is doing everything possible to be available for tonight’s Serie A showdown against Inter Milan.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the former Milan centre-back took part in training during Saturday’s session.

Indeed, his chances of making the matchday squad have improved significantly.

Though he worked cautiously after several days of rest and treatment, his recovery has been quicker than expected.

Therefore, last-minute decision will be made by Maurizio Sarri and his staff.

If Romagnoli is not risked, Provstgaard is expected to step in alongside Mario Gila.

Meanwhile Lazzari and Marusic likely to start on the flanks.

In midfield, Toma Basic is favourite to line up with Guendouzi and Cataldi, edging out Vecino in the final selection call.

Up front, Isaksen, Dia and Zaccagni are all expected to retain their places as Lazio look to test an Inter side chasing top spot in Serie A.

The Biancocelesti are one of the league’s most in-form defences, whilst Inter have been prolific in attack.
