Luca Pellegrini - Unused versus Genoa Pellegrini (ankle) didn't play in Friday's 1-0 win over Genoa.

Impact Pellegrini was back after his latest ankle injury, but Manuel Lazzari and Adam Marusic got the start, and Elseid Hysaj came off the bench after the former limped off due to a calf injury. He'll have better chances of featuring if the teammate has to miss time.

Patric - Leads defensive line in win Patric had one off-target shot, made two tackles (both won) and five clearances and helped his side to keep a clean sheet during Friday's 1-0 win over Genoa.

Impact Patric made his second consective start and had one of his best performance of the season, pacing his side in tackles while being key for his team to shut the opposition down. The center-back looked fully recovered from the recent injury that left him out for more than a month and proved he can be an essential piece during this final push for European qualification.

Valentin Castellanos - Has another quiet outing Castlellanos had two off-target shots and made three tackles (one won) during Friday's 1-0 win over Genoa.

Impact Castellanos had another disappointing performance for Lazio, with neither of his two finishes being a real threat for the opposing goalkeeper. This has been a very disappointing debut campaign for the striker, who could never establish himself as a starter and, other than some good outings here and there, didn't impress while leading the attacking line.

Christos Mandas - Keeps clean sheet versus Genoa Mandas made two saves and kept a clean sheet during Friday's 1-0 win over Genoa.

Impact Mandas made his fifth consecutive start and once again showed a lot of safety between the posts to keep his second clean sheet. After a shaky debut in the lineup, the goalkeeper has thrived since, with just two goals allowed over his last four contests. Ivan Provedel (ankle) is still doubtful to return for Apr. 27 home clash against Verona, but Mandas proved to be a more than capable replacement if he's needed in the net again.

Felipe Anderson - Takes two shots in win Anderson had two off-target shots and created one chance during Friday's 1-0 win over Genoa.

Impact Anderson didn't replicate his performance from the previous outing but was still decisive for his side to win all three points as he initiated the play that led to the lone goal of the match. With five goals and six assists over 33 appearances this season, the attacker will try to add some more contributions during his final five games with Lazio before heading back to his native Brazil at the end of his contract.

Daichi Kamada - Logs assist against Genoa Kamada delivered an assist, had two off-target shots, created two chances and made four tackles (all won) and one interception during Friday's 1-0 win over Genoa.

Impact Kamada had a nice performance on both ends, leading his team in tackles while also assisting Luis Alberto for the game-winner midway through the second half. After being mostly a reserve during this campaign, the midfielder has started the last four contests and this game will probably help him cement his place in the lineup for the final stretch of the season.

Impact Lazzari got off to a fast start on both ends but couldn't continue due to an injury. He limped off clutching his tibia/calf. Elseid Hysaj was picked over Luca Pellegrini to replace him off the bench.

Ciro Immobile - Stays out for Genoa game Immobile (knee) hasn't been selected for Friday's match versus Genoa, Lazio informed.

Impact Immobile tried to ramp and return early from injury, but his knee didn't respond well and he will be given more time to recuperate fully. Taty Castellanos will get the start while Pedro and Felipe Anderson will serve as the emergency options.

APRIL 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ciro Immobile - Slows down in rehab Immobile (knee) practiced on the side Friday after a pair of full sessions and could stay out versus Genoa on Friday, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Immobile has gone backward after seemingly shaking off a knee injury and might not make the game-day squad list. He'll be further assessed Friday. In any case, Taty Castellanos will lead the line versus Genoa given his conditions.

APRIL 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Luca Pellegrini - Expected back versus Genoa Pellegrini (ankle) is likely to be available for Friday's game against Genoa, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Pellegrini was back on the shelf last week but didn't pick up a new injury but rather was given a few days off to complete his recovery from a previous one and strengthen his ankle. He'll be an extra option on the left wing, where Manuel Lazzari started in the previous game and Matteo Zaccagni (ankle) is out. He has posted four clearances, three interceptions and six crosses (zero accurate) in his last four appearances.

APRIL 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Matteo Guendouzi - Stays shelved for Genoa match Guendouzi (calf) won't return versus Genoa on Friday, Tuttomercatoweb relayed.

Impact Guendouzi never trained with the rest of the group throughout the week and will miss his second consecutive game. Matias Vecino, Nicolo Rovella or Danilo Cataldi will join Daichi Kamada in the midfield.

APRIL 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Alessio Romagnoli - Likely for Genoa fixture Romagnoli (calf) resumed training fully Wednesday, Sky Italy relayed.

Impact Romagnoli will be back after skipping one game due to a calf ailment. It remains to be seen whether he'll start as usual, replacing either Nicolo Casale or Patric, or if he'll be preserved for a cup semifinal coming up next week. He has logged 15 clerances, four interceptions and two tackles (one won) in his last five showings, with one clean sheet.

APRIL 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ciro Immobile - Set to return versus Genoa Immobile (knee) reprised working fully with his teammates Wednesday, Tuttomercatoweb informed.

Impact Immobile will make a quick return after a minor knee sprain that cost him just a game and a half. He'll be neck-and-neck to start with Taty Castellanos. He has posted 11 shots (three on target), three key passes and three inaccurate crosses in his last five appearances.

APRIL 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Mattia Zaccagni - Renews Lazio contract Zaccagni has agreed to a new deal until 2029, Lazio announced.

Impact Zaccagni might have left in the summer without an extension, as his previous contract was set to expire in 2025. He has scored four times so far this season, routinely missing time due to injury.

APRIL 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Felipe Anderson - Will join Palmeiras in the summer Anderson has officially inked a multi-year pre-contract with Palmeiras, leaving Lazio at the end of the season.

Impact Anderson was on an expiring deal and elected to head home on a Bosman move after 11 years in Europe, six of which at Lazio in two separate stints. The turn of events is unlikely to affect his availability and role in the final fixtures.

Christos Mandas - Beaten once by Salernitana Mandas had four saves and allowed one goal in Friday's 4-1 victory versus Salernitana.

Impact Mandas mostly turned away attempts from distance and couldn't stop a precise header from Loum Tchaouna, which ended up being just a consolation goal. He has kept one clean sheet, made 12 saves and given up four goals in five matches while replacing Ivan Provedel (ankle). Lazio will face Genoa away Friday.

APRIL 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Patric - Swings in four crosses versus Salernitana Patric had one shot (zero on goal), one block, one interception and four crosses (zero accurate) in Friday's 4-1 victory over Salernitana.

Impact Patric was busier in the final third than in the back despite his role. He'll compete with Nicolo Casale once Alessio Romagnoli (calf) returns. This was his first start after coming back from a significant thigh injury.

APRIL 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Marusic - Passable in Salernitana game Marusic recorded two shots (zero on goal), two tackles (one won), one interception and three crosses (zero accurate) in Friday's 4-1 victory versus Salernitana.

Impact Marusic was okay on both ends but was pulled earlier than usual, perhaps to give him some rest since he generally logs heavy minutes. He has started four games in a row, posting one goal, 12 crosses (four accurate), five shots (one on target) and four tackles (two won).

APRIL 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Valentin Castellanos - Held in check by Salernitana Castellanos won eight duels and generated three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 4-1 victory versus Salernitana.

Impact Castellanos was pretty active but didn't fully take advantage of Ciro Immobile (knee)'s absence and wasn't involved in any of the four goals. His teammate might miss more time. He totaled 13 shots (five on target), three key passes and five inaccurate crosses in the last six matches (two starts), scoring twice.

APRIL 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Manuel Lazzari - Draws four fouls in Salernitana tilt Lazzari (calf) won four duels, drew four fouls, registered one cross (zero accurate) and created one chance in Friday's 4-1 victory over Salernitana.

Impact Lazzari was unusually fielded on the left wing after sitting out two matches and had mostly a quiet performance on the offensive end. He might feature regularly there until Matteo Zaccagni (ankle) returns, but the coach also has more offensive options at his disposal. He has tallied three key passes, eight crosses (three accurate) and three tackles (two won) in his last four appearances.

APRIL 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolo Rovella - Sets up teammate against Salernitana Rovella assisted once to go with one tackle (one won), two clearances and one chance created in Friday's 4-1 win against Salernitana.

Impact Rovella resumed seeing minutes after a lenghty absence caused by a groin injury and hit Gustav Tang Isaksen in strides ahead of the final goal of the game. He'll look to eat at Matteo Guendouzi (calf), Matias Vecino, Daichi Kamada and Danilo Cataldi's minutes from here on out.

APRIL 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Alberto - Provides assist against Salernitana Alberto assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), 11 crosses (four accurate), seven chances created and nine corners in Friday's 4-1 win against Salernitana.

Impact Alberto had one of his most productive displays of the season in the easy fixture, pacing his team in deliveries and key passes and collecting a point by finding Felipe Anderson in the box with a timely feed to set up the third goal for his side. It's his seventh assist of the season and the second in the last four rounds, where he has added six shots (three on target), 14 chances created and 16 crosses (five accurate).

APRIL 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gustav Isaksen - Nets in Salernitana match Isaksen scored one goal to go with two shots (one on target) in six minutes in Friday's 4-1 victory over Salernitana.

Impact Isaksen came off the bench late but still contributed to the romp with a pretty cross-shot from outside the box, registering his third Serie A goal. He got the start last week but was pulled at half-time and hasn't experienced a upitck in minutes following a coaching change, even though Lazio were down several men in this one. He has notched five shots (two on target), seven key passes and eight crosses (one accurate) in the last five fixtures.
