Lazio Testing Italian Midfield Duo for Juventus Showdown | OneFootball

Lazio coach Marco Baroni is reflecting on his options in the middle of the park in case he’ll have to do without Matteo Guendouzi for the weekend encounter against Juventus. The Frenchman bruised his toe on international duty. Although medical tests ruled out a fracture, he remains in doubt for Saturday’s clash against the Bianconeri.

So according to La Lazio Siamo Noi, Baroni tested Gaetano Castrovilli in training alongside his Italian compatriot Nicolo Rovella. The two players remained at Formello during the international break, so pairing them in the double pivot roles could be a solution if Guendouzi fails to recover in time.

Lazio Could Unleash Castrovilli-Rovella Partnership Against Juventus

The final training session before the trip to Turin will be crucial to determine whether the France international will be able to take part in the action this weekend or stay behind. Baroni has also recovered the services of Matias Vecino who returned following a slight injury problem. Therefore, the Uruguayan veteran could be another alternative solution.

Moreover, the source tips Adam Marusic to start at right-back in place of the injured Manuel Lazzari, even though Baroni tested other options, including moving one between Mario Gila, Patric and Nuno Tavares.
