Lazio Receive Double Injury Boost Ahead of AC Milan Clash – Cataldi Set for Additional Tests | OneFootball

Lazio should be able to count on the services of Taty Castellanos and Mario Gila in their upcoming Serie A contest against Milan.

The Background

Fresh from their delightful Derby della Madonnina victory over Inter, the Rossoneri will host the Biancocelesti at San Siro on Saturday evening in a Serie A clash, before returning the visit five days later for a Coppa Italia tie that will take place at the Stadio Olimpico.

Taty Castellanos to Be Selected for Milan vs Lazio Clash

According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Maurizio Sarri should finally be able to rely on Castellanos, who has been out of action for two months due to a Grade II tear in his right thigh. The Argentine passed a clinical test on Monday, and will train alongside his teammates when they begin their preparations for the Milan clash on Wednesday.

Following his lengthy stoppage, the 27-year-old won’t be immediately thrust into the starting lineup. However, his presence on the bench will provide the manager with an additional weapon for the later stages of the game.

Mario Gila Escapes Injury

In addition to Castellanos, Gila has been cleared to compete. The Spaniard picked up a knock in the final stages of Sunday’s victory against Lecce. He left his place on the pitch for Patric after feeling a mild inflamation in the tendon. But luckily for the Spanish defender, his timely exit meant he avoided an injury.

Danilo Cataldi’s Condition Remains Uncertain

Lazio are now hoping for a similarly reassuring update on Danilo Cataldi, who felt a stiffness in his thigh, forcing him to leave his place on the pitch for Matias Vecino at the interval. But as the Roman newspaper explains, the experienced midfielder will require additional tests before the doctors can give their final diagnosis.
