Nicolo Rovella - Absent for Bayern clash Rovella (groin) will not return Tuesday versus Bayern Munich, Tuttomercatoweb reported.

Impact Rovella will skip his sixth contest in a row, and likely more, since he has yet to resume training in any capacity after his sports hernia flared up. Matias Vecino and Danilo Cataldi will continue anchoring the midfield in relief.

Felipe Anderson - Quiet in Milan match Anderson had one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate), four tackles (one won) and one chance created in Friday's 1-0 loss to AC Milan.

Impact Anderson played the whole contest but didn't put up numbers. He rarely falls out of the XI but will face more competition with Matteo Zaccagni back in the fold after an injury. He hasn't collected points in five games, posting two off-target shots, two chances created and three crosses (zero accurate).

Matias Vecino - Gritty agaisnt Milan Vecino registered one shot (zero on goal), four tackles (two won) and two interceptions in Friday's 1-0 defeat to AC Milan.

Impact Vecino started over Danilo Cataldi as the anchor of the defense and did what he could to contain the defense. He'll most likely start against in the next Serie A game since Matteo Guendouzi will be suspended, while he'll be in contention midweek. He has notched one assist, four shots (zero on target), one key pass and six tackles (three won) in his last five showings.

Luis Alberto - Passable in Milan game Alberto recorded two shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate), one key pass and one corner in Friday's 1-0 defeat to AC Milan.

Impact Alberto picked up stats across the board offensively but was replaced early after Adam Marusic was sent off, forcing the coach to make some adjustments. He has scored once, assisted twice and posted nine chances created and 25 crosses (five accurate) in the last five games.

Mattia Zaccagni - Draws four fouls versus Milan Zaccagni won 12 duels and had one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and five successful take-ons Friday's 1-0 defeat against AC Milan.

Impact Zaccagni returned to the XI a few days after shaking off a nagging foot problem and was pretty bubbly but amassed stats mostly in the peripheral categories. He started over Gustav Tang Isaksen. He has totaled five shots (one on target), four chances crated and nine crosses (four accurate) in his last five appearances, with no goal contributions.

MARCH 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ciro Immobile - Comes off bench versus Milan Immobile registered four shots (one on goal), won one duel and committed one foul in 30 minutes in Friday's 1-0 defeat to AC Milan.

Impact Immobile was load-managed before the return leg versus Bayern Munich but still led his team in attempts, although he lacked precision and couldn't exploit a pair of juicy chances. After three consecutive goals, he hasn't scored in the last four matches, providing just one assist and posting nine shots (four on target), two key passes and one inaccurate cross.

MARCH 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Provedel - Beaten once by Milan Provedel had four saves and one clearance and allowed one goal in Friday's 1-0 defeat to AC Milan.

Impact Provedel prevented Milan from getting the lead sooner with some solid interventions but could do little on a close-range strike by Noah Okafor late in the game. He has secured two clean sheets in the last five fixtures, making 13 saves and surrendering five goals. Lazio will face Bayern Munich away in the Champions League on Tuesday and then host Udinese next Monday.

Matteo Guendouzi - Shown red late Guendouzi was shown a straight red card during second half stoppage time during Friday's 1-0 loss to Milan.

Impact Guendouzi was the third Lazio player to be shown a red card during Friday's loss. The midfielder will now be suspended for a March 11 clash with Udinese, and potentially further. Matias Vecino is one possible option to replace Guendouzi, though he's been a consistent piece of the starting XI and will leave a void in the starting XI.

Adam Marusic - Sees red late Marusic was shown a straight red card during the second half of Friday's clash with AC Milan.

Impact Marusic made it to the 94th minute before seeing a straight red card and being handed his marching orders. The defender will now serve at least a one-match ban. With Luca Pellegrini also sent off, Lazio now are severely lacking in full-back depth for the next matches.

MARCH 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Luca Pellegrini - Sent off Friday Pellegrini was shown two yellow cards and sent off during Friday's clash with AC Milan.

Impact Pellegrini is set for a one-match ban after being sent off in his first start in six league matches. It's not exactly an encouraging sign for future minute for Pellegrini, who will likely find his way back to the bench even when fully available once more. Adam Marusic could take over at left-back once more with Pellegrini suspended.

MARCH 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolo Rovella - Out against Milan Rovella (groin) won't be available versus Milan, Il Messaggero reported.

Impact Rovella hasn't been spotted in training after his sports hernia flared up and will be out a while longer. He has already missed five matches and might need to ramp up once healthier. Danilo Cataldi and Matias Vecino will keep soaking up his minutes.

FEBRUARY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Patric - Will not return against Milan Patric (thigh) hasn't practiced following the most recent game and will remain sidelined versus Milan on Friday, Il Tempo reported.

Impact Patric will skip his third contest in a row due to a thigh issue, which appears more concerning than his ankle one, and the short turnarounds aren't helping him. Mario Gila is returning from suspension for this one and will likely start over Nicolo Casale.

Mario Gila - Completes suspension Gila served a one-game disqualification in Monday's 2-1 loss to Fiorentina.

Impact Gila will be eligible to play Friday versus Milan and has generally started over Nicolo Casale in recent months, while Patric (groin) is banged up.

Elseid Hysaj - Passable against Fiorentina Hysaj (thigh) generated two tackles (one won), five duels, one block and one clearance in 45 minutes in Monday's 2-1 defeat versus Fiorentina.

Impact Hysaj (thigh) avoided spending time on the sidelines and was okay after coming on at the interval replacing Adam Marusic, who had a poor first half defensively. He'll compete with him and Manuel Lazzari in the upcoming tilts. He has tallied four crosses (zero accurate), three tackles (one won) and five clearances in his last four appearances.

FEBRUARY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Mattia Zaccagni - Takes one shot against Fiorentina Zaccagni (foot) drew two fouls, won seven duels and one of one tackle and recorded one shot (zero on goal) in 45 minutes in Monday's 2-1 loss versus Fiorentina.

Impact Zaccagni played more than expected since he was a late call and was decently spry even though he didn't fill it up in the key categories. He'll likely return to the starting XI over either Gustav Tang Isaksen or Felipe Anderson sooner rather than later.

FEBRUARY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Alessio Romagnoli - Win three tackles against Fiorentina Romagnoli had four tackles (three won), one block, ten successful duels and seven clearances in Monday's 2-1 defeat against Fiorentina.

FEBRUARY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Manuel Lazzari - Swings in four crosses against Fiorentina Lazzari won one dule, drew two fouls and had four crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 2-1 defeat against Fiorentina.

Impact Lazzari was one of the few Lazio played that put up okay numbers offensively in an underwhelming collective showing. He has started twice in the last four games, totaling seven crosses (three accurate), five clearances and two chances created.

FEBRUARY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ciro Immobile - Struggles in Fiorentina tilt Immobile drew one foul, won two duels and recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Monday's 2-1 defeat versus Fiorentina.

Impact Immobile was poorly fed and was never dangerous in a game where his side didn't do much offensively other than scoring on a counter. He has tallied three goals, one assist, 11 shots (seven on target) and four chances in the last six matches but hasn't scored in the past three.

FEBRUARY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Matteo Guendouzi - Provides assist versus Fiorentina Guendouzi drew two fouls and assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 2-1 defeat to Fiorentina.

It's his second assist of the season and the first since early October. He has notched nine crosses (one accurate), seven tackles (four won) and six shots (three on target) in the last five matches, scoring once.

FEBRUARY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Alberto - Ends drought in Fiorentina match Alberto scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target), four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Monday's 2-1 defeat to Fiorentina.

Impact Alberto capped off a counter with a surgical right-footed finish in the bottom corner to give his team the late near the end of the first half and register his first goal since late October. He has posted two assists, eight shots (one on target) and nine chances created in the last five games.

FEBRUARY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Provedel - Allows two goals in Fiorentina match Provedel registered four saves, three clearances and three punches and gave up two goals in Monday's 2-1 loss against Fiorentina.

Impact Provedel was under pressure throughout the whole and was helped by the woodwork on a few occasions, but Fiorentina eventually managed to beat him twice through close-range efforts. He has blanked the opponents twice in the last four rounds, making nine saves and surrendering four goals. Lazio will host Milan on Friday.
