Ivan Provedel - Makes five saves versus Fiorentina Provedel made five saves and conceded one goal during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Fiorentina.

Impact Provedel made some great saves along the way, being just one shy of his season high. But Nicolas Gonzalez left-footed shot from just outside the box in the 49th minute was too powerful and too well-placed for him to stop. He had his two-game clean sheet streak coming to an end, but his numbers are still very positive. With 11 clean sheets over 19 starts, Provedel leads all Serie A goalkeepers this season.

Ciro Immobile - Active off bench in return Immobile (thigh) had three off-target shots, suffered one foul and was shown a yellow card after coming off the bench during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Fiorentina.

The striker couldn't score the game-winning goal for Lazio but at least was very active and didn't experience any physical setback. With the visit to Verona being just on Feb. 6, Immobile should have enough time to get ready to rejoin the starting XI.
