Lazio Winger Could Skip Europa League Contest, Arsenal Loanee Targeting Return vs Napoli | OneFootball

Lazio captain Mattia Zaccagni could be rested in Thursday’s Europa League encounter against Ludogorets.

The Background

The Biancocelesti currently sit on top of the table with a perfect record in the continental competition. The high-flying Aquile will be the favorites to prevail at home at the expense of their Bulgarian visitors. However, they might have to do it without their skipper and inspirational star who picked up a slight knock during Sunday’s Serie A contest against Bologna.

Lazio Captain Mattia Zaccagni to Be Rested on Thursday

According to Il Messaggero (via La Lazio Siamo Noi), Zaccagni’s condition is nothing to be worried about, as he should resume training with his teammates soon enough. However, Marco Baroni and his technical staff might prefer to rest him so he can regain his optimal condition for next Sunday’s league fixture in Parma.

Relieving Updates on Alessio Romagnoli

On the other hand, Alessio Romagnoli should return to the squad immediately following a minor scare that saw him substituted at half-time against Bologna. The former Milan captain felt his muscle stiffening, prompting Baroni to replace him with Samuel Gigot. Nevertheless, his medical tests ruled out any issues, so the defender will be available for selection

Nuno Tavares Aims for Napoli Return

The source also offers updates on Nuno Tavares who sustained a muscle injury on international duty. The report expects the influential left-back to return to the pitch for the Serie A clash against Napoli on December 8th. Meanwhile, Gaetano Castrovilli should undergo new tests in the coming days to evaluate his condition after undergoing arthroscopic surgery in previous weeks.
