Lazio lose Doekhi for Milan clash after hand surgery | OneFootball

Gennaro Gattuso’s squad features a few surprises as Lazio host Milan this evening, with Danilho Doekhi ruled out after hand surgery and Danilo Cataldi recalled.

Kick-off is at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome at 17.00 UK time, 18.00 CEST. The club said in a statement that the summer signing underwent surgery in Rome yesterday, with a metal plate and screws fitted to repair a fracture of the metacarpal in his left hand.

Doekhi had been in contention to start, but is now sidelined. His absence is likely to be brief, after which he can play with a protective cast.

Cataldi returns ahead of schedule, while Andrea Pinamonti has recovered from the ankle knock sustained in the 2-1 win over Udinese.

Lazio head into the match with a 100 per cent league record after three victories. Nicolò Rovella, Adam Marusic, Patric and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru remain out injured.
