Four Lazio Stars Set To Return From Injury in Coming Days | OneFootball

The treatment table at Formello is about to be emptied in the coming days, as four Lazio players are expected to resume action.

The Background

Il Corriere dello Sport (via La Lazio Siamo Noi) provides the latest updates on the injury front, beginning with Nicolo Rovella and Nuno Tavares who picked up slight muscular problems in the final preparations ahead of Monday’s contest against Udinese. The duo were eventually ruled out from the match which ended in a 1-1 draw.

Nicolo Rovella

After the game, Marco Baroni insisted it was only a precautionary measure, as he didn’t want to risk his two key players. In any case, Rovella cannot be rushed back to action since he’s already suspended for the second leg against Viktoria Plzen in Europa League Round of 16. The midfielder will be replaced by Matias Vecino before making his return on Sunday against Bologna.

Nuno Tavares

On the other hand, the Roman newspaper expects Lazio to be cautious with Tavares, noting how he often succumbs to injuries when he plays twice a week. Hence, Baroni might decide to rest him on Thursday, with Adam Marusic filling in at left-back.

Taty Castellanos

The source also tips Taty Castellanos to make his much-anticipated return to action in midweek, but he’ll likely start on the bench with one between Tijjani Noslin and Loum Tchaouna leading the line. The Argentine could thus earn a 20-25 minute cameo before returning to the starting lineup in the weekend.

Fisayo Dele-Bashiru

Finally, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru was supposed to make his comeback on Monday against Udinese, but felt some discomfort during the warm-ups, so the technical staff decided to delay his return for another three days. So once these four players resume action, Elseid Hysaj would be the solitary unavailable player for Lazio, albeit he should recover from injury in the coming weeks.
