Elseid Hysaj - Busy in the back versus Milan Hysaj registered five tackles (two won), one block, and seven clearances in Saturday's 0-2 defeat versus AC Milan.

Impact Hysaj had his hands full against Christian Pulisic but did okay, even though his direct opponent scored on a cut through the middle. The rearguard was wobblier on the other flank. He has started in three of the last five matches, logging seven tackles, two interceptions, 15 clearances, and two blocks.

Impact Alberto turned in a decent performance and held his own from the physical standpoint despite the defeat in the crunch game. He led his team in chances as per usual. He has scored and assisted once and added eight shots (two on target) and 19 key passes in the last five matches. Lazio will face Celtic away in Champions League Wednesday and then host Atalanta next Sunday.

Felipe Anderson - Quiet against Milan Anderson registered two shots (zero on goal), three interceptions, and two chances created in Saturday's 0-2 defeat against AC Milan.

Impact Anderson salvaged his day by picking up stats at both ends but wasn't very influential in this one. He has provided an assist and added six key passes, five off-target shots, and four crosses (one accurate) in the last five contests, initially resting just once. Lazio will face Celtic away in Champions League Wednesday and then host Atalanta next Sunday.

Mattia Zaccagni - Creates two chances versus Milan Zaccagni won five duels, drew two fouls, and generated three shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 0-2 loss against AC Milan.

Lazio will face Celtic away in Champions League Wednesday and then host Atalanta next Sunday.

Manuel Lazzari - Doesn't feature against Milan Lazzari was an unused sub in Saturday's 0-2 loss to Milan.

Impact Lazzari was healthy and available but didn't get minutes, likely simply due to tactical reasons, as he's usually fielded in easier match-ups. He'll likely start over Elseid Hysaj in one of the next two contests considering the busy week.

OCTOBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alessio Romagnoli - Wins four duels in Milan clash Romagnoli (nose) recorded one tackle (one won), two blocks, and two clearances in Saturday's 0-2 loss to AC Milan.

The Lazio defense crumbled again, though, and is struggling to keep clean sheets after leading the league in the past campaign. He has registered five tackles, six interceptions, 11 clearances, and three blocks in the last five games. Lazio will face Celtic away in Champions League Wednesday and then host Atalanta next Sunday.

OCTOBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

He has kept one clean sheet, conceded seven goals, and made 17 saves in the last five matches. Lazio will face Celtic away in Champions League Wednesday and then host Atalanta next Sunday.

Alessio Romagnoli - Could play versus Milan Romagnoli (nose) has been fitted with a mask and practiced on Saturday, Sky Italy informs.

Impact Romagnoli didn't need surgery to address his fracture, which increased his chances of not missing time. His level of comfort and risk will be assessed in the lead-up to the game. If he was held out or benched, Nicolo Casale and Patric would team up in the back.

Manuel Lazzari - Avoids significant problems Lazzari subbed off against Torino because he was cramping up and was a full-go in training afterward, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

Impact Lazzari didn't need tests after the fixture and will be an option against Milan, although the coach might turn to Elseid Hysaj given the more challenging match-up. He has logged one assist, three chances created, 18 crosses (five accurate), and six clearances in four appearances (three starts) so far, failing to get minutes on three occasions.

Luis Alberto - Four crosses against Torino Alberto had four crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Torino.

Impact Alberto was pretty quiet outside of his chances on set pieces, registering one chance created, two tackles and four crosses in the win. When the midfielder isn't notching goal contributions, most of his production comes from his chances on set pieces, but mainly corners. He now has 39 shots or crosses from set pieces this season, 35 more than any other player on his team. Even when the Spaniard has a bad match, he should be in contention for decent fantasy production with his role on corners and free kicks.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Felipe Anderson - Notches assist Anderson assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-0 win against Torino.

Impact Anderson provided a decent performance after being benched last match, providing a chance created, one cross and three tackles to go along with an assist. The Brazilian picked up his assist in the 75th minute off of a Mattia Zaccagni goal that gave Lazio a 2-0 lead. He now has three assists on the season and has already surpassed his total of two from last year's Serie A campaign.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alessio Romagnoli - Nasal fracture confirmed Romagnoli suffered a compound nasal fracture during Wednesday's 2-0 win over Torino, Lazio announced.

Impact Romagnoli had a serious compound nasal fracture confirmed after undergoing testing at a local hospital. The defender is a heavy doubt for Saturday's trip to AC Milan. Nicolo Casale could get another start in central defense if Romagnoli is ruled out.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Matias Vecino - Nets opener Vecino scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Torino.

Impact Vecino broke the stalemate in Wednesday's match by scoring in the 56th minute to give Lazio the first goal and the lead. It was the midfielder's first goal contribution of the season, only attempting five shots before his first goal. He has played a rotational role this season but might be in contention for more minutes after a great performance against Torino.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mattia Zaccagni - Bags first goal of the season Zaccagni scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Torino.

Impact Zaccagni scored his first goal of the season in Wednesday's match after finding the back of the net in the 75th minute off of a Felipe Anderson assist. The Italian has struggled to find the back of the net this season up to this point, starting in every match this season but only scoring his first goal on Wednesday. He has started in a forward position every match but has only registered ten shots in 497 minutes of play. The forward will hope this is the spark he needs to turn around his early season slump.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Provedel - Registers clean sheet Provedel had two saves and allowed zero goals in Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Torino.

Impact Provedel easily had his best performance of the year on Wednesday, registering two saves while picking up his first clean sheet of the season. The Italian hasn't had a terrible start to the season, notching 19 saves, but has been unlucky to give up one goal in four different matches this season. He will have a much tougher opponent in his next contest when he faces second-place AC Milan.

Manuel Lazzari - Comes off injured Lazzari came off with an apparent injury during Wednesday's clash with Torino.

Impact Lazzari was forced off in the 80th minute as Elseid Hysaj came on to replace him. With Lazzari injured it would be Hysaj who takes over in the starting XI moving forward in all competitions. Lazzari's first chance to return would be Saturday's trip to AC Milan.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Elseid Hysaj - Starts after eye injury Hysaj generated one tackle (one won) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Monza.

Impact Hysaj missed one game with an eye injury, but was back in the starting lineup during Lazio's home draw. The left-back could not do much before subbing off in the 56th minute, though. He logged his third start in the season, but has yet to play the full 90 minutes.
