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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
FEBRUARY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Mario Gila - Logs four clearances against Bologna Gila (illness) had one chance created, one accurate cross, one tackle (zero won) and four clearances in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Bologna.
Impact Gila was fine but not overly impressive, and his team gave up two goals. He's firmly ahead of Nicolo Casale in the hierarchy at this point, and Patric (groin) subbed off in this one. He has tallied six interceptions, 21 clearances and four blocks in the last five games, with one clean sheet.

Matias Vecino - Serves disqualification Vecino (thigh) cleared a one-game ban in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Bologna but is a doubt for Thursday's game versus Torino due to a muscular problem.
Impact Vecino will be assessed in training the next couple of days after being pulled from the starting lineup versus Bayern Munich midweek.
FEBRUARY 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Alessio Romagnoli - Completes suspension Romagnoli served a one-game ban in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Bologna.
Impact Romagnoli will be back in the XI against Torino on Thursday, playing next to either Mario Gila or Nicolo Casale since Patric (thigh) subbed off over the weekend. He has tallied 27 clearances, four blocks and five tackles (four won) in his last six appearances, contributing to two clean sheets.

Patric - Leaves Bologna game very early Patric played just ten minutes against Bologna due to a muscular problem, Lazio informed.
Impact Patric hurt his thigh/groin in an early tackle and couldn't continue. Nicolo Casale replaced him off the bench. Lazio will have Alessio Romagnoli back from suspension for the next game against Torino on Thursday.
FEBRUARY 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Elseid Hysaj - Available versus Bologna Hysaj (ankle) is a bench option for Sunday's game against Bologna.
Impact Hysaj won't need to miss time despite twisting his ankle midweek but won't get the start unlike in the past two fixtures. Manuel Lazzari and Adam Marusic are getting the nod and Luca Pellegrini is available after a minor unspecified injury, so he's not a lock to get minutes. He has tallied six interceptions, three crosses (one accurate) and seven clearances in his last five appearances.
FEBRUARY 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Mario Gila - Starting on Sunday Gila (illness) is in the XI to face Bologna on Sunday.
Impact Gila has quickly shaken off an ailment and will keep starting as he has done for several matches in a row due to the injuries and absences of other center-backs.
FEBRUARY 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Elseid Hysaj - Nursing ankle injury Hysaj (ankle) is day-to-day due to a right ankle sprain, Lazio announced.
Impact Hysaj didn't practice after leaving the Bayern clash early and will miss Sunday's match versus Bologna, but he might be able to avoid a prolonged spell on the sidelines since the issue appears to be mild. Adam Marusic, Manuel Lazzari and Luca Pellegrini will be the options on the defensive wings while he recovers.
FEBRUARY 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Luca Pellegrini - Might be back versus Bologna Pellegrini (undisclosed) has been spotted in training after missing the Bayern Munich clash, Tuttomercatoweb informed.
Impact Pellegrini was held out mostly out of precaution midweek as his problem wasn't serious. While Adam Marusic is expected to start, he might log some minutes since Elseid Hysaj (ankle) is hurt. He has totaled five crosses (zero accurate), 12 tackles (seven won) and eight clearances in his past six showings, scoring once and contributing to one clean sheet.
FEBRUARY 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Mario Gila - Good to go for Bologna match Gila didn't miss practice time after suffering from stomach ache near the end of the Bayern Munich clash, Tuttomercatoweb informed.
Impact Gila had no lingering consequences and is likely to team up with Patric in the back since Alessio Romagnoli is suspended. He has notched four tackles (one won), seven interceptions and 19 clearances in the last five games, with two clean sheets.
FEBRUARY 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Nicolo Rovella - Will miss more time Rovella (groin) "is continuing his rehab protocol and clinic monitoring concerning his sports hernia," Lazio announced.
Impact Rovella gutted it out in recent weeks but will be given time to rest and heal as the nagging injury got more serious. It might be a while before he plays again, but that will hinge on how well he responds to the treatments. Danilo Cataldi and Matias Vecino will take over the position.
FEBRUARY 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Patric - Wins one tackle against Bayern Patric (shoulder) had 17 touches and won one of one tackle in nine minutes in Wednesday's 1-0 win over Bayern Munich.
Impact Patric came in late as Mario Gila subbed off due to stomach ache, returning from a three-week absence, and looked good enough. If he didn't suffer a setback, he'll start over Nicolo Casale in Sunday's home game versus Bologna since Alessio Romagnoli is suspended.
