Lazio manager Marco Baroni confirms Boulaye Dia is fit for Bologna clash | OneFootball

Lazio head coach Marco Baroni gave an update on Boulaye Dia’s recovery from an injury.

Speaking in an interview on Radio Anch’io Sport via Alfredo Pedulla, Marco Baroni confirmed that Lazio’s medical team has deemed Boulaye Dia fit for their game against Bologna, which will be played out this weekend. The manager said: “Will he be there against Bologna? Yes. Tomorrow we’ll resume training, I want to see what his condition is and talk to the doctor. The boy has undergone tests and is fine.”

Dia rescinded himself from Senegal’s AFCON qualifiers squad after sustaining a thigh knock. The forward returned to the Biancocelesti training grounds halfway through the international break and was tested immediately. However, the test turned out positive for the player as the injury was not serious.

Baroni is expected to give him a starting role versus Bologna as he said: “Dia is a player I like for his mobility and how he interprets the role. If he’s well he’ll go on the pitch”
