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.

Impact Guendouzi had a pretty quiet performance and focused on defending but perfectly combined with Luis Alberto on a fast break to set up the loan goal for his side. 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.

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.

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.

Mattia Zaccagni - Finds bench Monday Zaccagni (bruise) is on the bench for Monday's match against Fiorentina.

Impact Zaccagni has missed the club's past six matches, but his return should not come as a surprise, as he participated in training this week and was expected to be an option against Fiorentina. The forward will now look to get the start in their next match against AC Milan on Friday, as he has started in all but two contests when available.

FEBRUARY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Matias Vecino - Out against Fiorentina Vecino (thigh) is out for Monday's match against Fiorentina.

Impact Vecino still is not ready for a return, now missing his fourth match in a row due to a thigh issue. This has been a tough run for the midfielder, but luckily for the club, it hasn't affected them much, as the midfielder has only started six times, playing in more of a substitute role as he has appeared 23 times. He will now look ahead to the next match against AC Milan on Friday, hoping to return then.

FEBRUARY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Elseid Hysaj - Earns bench spot Hysaj (thigh) is on the bench for Monday's match against Fiorentina.

Impact Hysaj is already back with the team, avoiding any time on the sidelines after being forced off the field in their last match against Torino. The defender will now hope to find the starting XI within their next couple of matches, as he started in three of their past four contests despite holding more of a rotational role this season.

FEBRUARY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Patric - Stay out for Fiorentina game Patric (thigh/ankle) hasn't been called up for Monday's match versus Fiorentina, Lazio relayed.

Impact Patric was on the wrong side of questionable and will sit out his second match in a row due to a pair of minor leg injuries. Alessio Romagnoli and Nicolo Casale are the only healthy center-backs.

FEBRUARY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Matias Vecino - Could return against Fiorentina Vecino (thigh) was spotted in training Sunday, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Vecino worked somewhat regularly on the eve of the game after missing three fixtures due to a thigh issue and a suspension and should be back on the bench. He was used as a sub in six straight games before the injury, notching one goal, one assist, five shots (one on target) and two chances created.

FEBRUARY 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Patric - Doubtful for Fiorentina fixture Patric (thigh/ankle) did very little in training in the lead-up to Monday's match against Fiorentina, Tuttomercatoweb relayed.

Impact Patric is headed for his second straight absence, which would lead to Alessio Romagnoli and Nicolo Casale being the only center-back options since Mario Gila is suspended. Adam Marusic and Elseid Hysaj can play in the middle in a pinch.

FEBRUARY 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Elseid Hysaj - Avoids significant issues Hysaj (thigh) escaped without relevant injuries and was back at practice Sunday, Tuttomercatoweb informed.

Impact Hysaj was managed for a couple of days after getting banged up but should be available Monday, although Adam Marusic, Manuel Lazzarri and Luca Pellegrini have better chances of making the XI since they are healthier. He has logged four crosses (zero accurate), one tackle and three interceptions in his last three starts.

FEBRUARY 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Mattia Zaccagni - Set to return versus Fiorentina Zaccagni (foot) participated in training in the past two days and is poised to be an option against Fiorentina on Monday, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Zaccagni has gradually increased his activity in training over the past week and should be back on the bench Monday after missing seven games due to a nagging foot injury. His return will impact Gustav Tang Isaksen and Pedro the most. He scored once and logged eight shots (four on target), four chances created and nine crosses (three accurate) in his last four appearances.

FEBRUARY 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Elseid Hysaj - Forced off versus Torino Hysaj had two crosses (zero accurate), one clearance and one block before leaving Thursday's 2-0 win over Torino due to a thigh problem, coach Maurizio Sarri informed.

Impact Hysaj started for the third time in the past four matches but had to leave at intermission. Manuel Lazzari was picked over Luca Pellegrini to replace him. He'll be evaluated in training ahead of Monday's away game versus Fiorentina.

FEBRUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Mario Gila - Sent off versus Torino Gila won four of four tackles, had six clerances and one block and was booked twice in Thursday's 2-0 win over Torino.

Impact Gila had a busy showing and piled up stats in the back but marred it with a late foul that caused him to hit the showers early. He'll miss Monday's away game versus Fiorentina. Since Patric (groin/ankle) is iffy, Nicolo Casale is the frontrunner to join Alessio Romagnoli in the back.

Patric - Will miss Torino match Patric (thigh/ankle) won't play Thursday versus Torino, Il Mattino reported.

Impact Patric is nursing two injuries on the same leg and is considered iffy also for the ensuing game versus Fiorentina since he has trained very little in the last couple of days. Alessio Romagnoli, Mario Gila and Nicolo Casale will be the center-back options while he's out.

FEBRUARY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Matias Vecino - Out versus Torino Vecino (thigh) won't be available against Torino on Thursday, Tuttomercatoweb informed.

Impact Vecino cleared a suspension in the past game but has yet to return to practice after picking up a thigh problem while warming up versus Bayern Munich. Danilo Cataldi will be the only option in the role since Nicolo Rovella (groin) is absent as well.

FEBRUARY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Danilo Cataldi - Sends in four crosses in loss Cataldi had four crosses (zero accurate), one corner and three tackles (all won) in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Bologna. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 35th minute.

Impact Cataldi had a good all-around performance, logging the second-most crosses and tackles for Lazio, but couldn't help them avoid the frustrating loss at home. The three tackles matched his season-high in the stat. The midfielder also received his sixth yellow card, though.

FEBRUARY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ciro Immobile - Assists versus Bologna Immobile assisted once to go with three shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Bologna.

Impact Immobile created Gustav Tang Isaksen's opener in the 18th minute with his first assist in the season, but Lazio couldn't hold the lead and ended up with the home loss. The forward logged seven assists in 2022-23, and does not look like he will top that number in the current campaign. He also led his side in shots during the match as usual.

FEBRUARY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gustav Isaksen - Scores opener in loss Tang Isaksen scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Bologna.

Impact Isaksen scored the opener in the 18th minute with his second goal in the season, but it wasn't enough to avoid the home loss. The forward logged his seventh start in a row, and now looks like a solid piece in the squad. He also led Lazio in chances created during the match.

FEBRUARY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Provedel - Concedes twice at home Provedel had one save and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus Bologna.

Impact Provedel could not do much during Lazio's home loss and made only one save (or less) for eighth time in the campaign. The goalkeeper was coming from three clean sheets in his prior five starts, though. He will look to bounce back at Torino on Thursday.

FEBRUARY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Luca Pellegrini - Swings in two crosses versus Bologna Pellegrini (undisclosed) had one off-target shot and two crosses and drew one foul in 13 minutes in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Bologna.

Impact Pellegrini quickly returned from an ailment and tried to help the offense in the final minutes. The coach has gone back-and-fort about his playing time in the last few rounds. He has started four times in his past seven appearances, recording seven crosses (zero accurate), 12 tackles (seven won) and eight clearances.

FEBRUARY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Elseid Hysaj - Unused in Bologna game Hysaj (ankle) didn't sub in during Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus Bologna.

Impact Hysaj was available despite an ankle problem against Bayern Munich but didn't get minutes. He started twice in a row before the issue after being an afterthought for a couple of months. Once fully healthy, he might supplant Manuel Lazzari and Luca Pellegrini in the more challenging matches.
