Lazio Team News, Injuries, Suspensions & Probable Lineup

Lazio landed in Portugal with a depleted squad, as 12 members of the senior squad are out. Manuel Lazzari, Patric, Nuno Tavares and Matias Vecino are all injured, while Boulaye Dia and Matteo Guendouzi didn’t train properly in recent days, so they’ll be rested. Mattia Zaccagni and Nicolo Rovella are suspended, while Gaetano Castrovilli, Elseid Hysaj, Toma Basic and Arijon Ibrahimovic aren’t on the Europa League list.

Therefore, Marco Baroni can only field a makeshift lineup with Taty Castellanos spearheading the charge, supported by Loum Tchaouna, Pedro and Tijjani Noslin. Mario Gila will be an emergency solution in midfield alongside Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, while Adam Marusic, Samuel Gigot, Alessio Romangoli and Luca Pellegrini form up the backline in front of Christos Mandas.

Lazio (4-2-3-1): Mandas; Marusic, Gigot, Romagnoli, Pellegrini; Gila, Dele-Bashiru; Tchaouna, Pedro, Noslin; Castellanos
