Taylor, Tavares & Pedro Risk Missing Lazio vs Roma Derby | OneFootball

Three Lazio players risk missing the Derby della Capitale against Roma if they are booked against Inter this weekend.

According to The Laziali, the Biancocelesti host Inter in Serie A on Saturday, then face them in the Coppa Italia final on Wednesday, before the derby that both fanbases prize most.

Both sides are expected to rotate ahead of the final, and Maurizio Sarri could rest the trio given they are one yellow card from a one-match ban.

Kenneth Taylor has been a regular since arriving in January, making 19 starts across Serie A and the Coppa Italia. If he is spared, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru should step into midfield alongside Nicolo Rovella and Toma Basic.

Nuno Tavares has found form at an ideal moment and is now key for Sarri. The Portuguese is likely to start on the bench this weekend to manage minutes and avoid a derby suspension, with Luca Pellegrini should replace him at left-back.

Pedro could miss what may be his final derby before leaving in June. The Spaniard, one of the few to have represented both clubs in this fixture, has been tipped to replace Mattia Zaccagni after a training injury, with Tijjani Noslin an alternative.
