Ahead of the game against AC Milan, Lazio have confirmed that two players have recovered in time for the game at San Siro.
After the Inter game, this is a big test to see how focused the Milan team really are. Against ‘smaller’ teams, the focus has wavered a little. So, after such a big game, the same issues could be experienced.
Of course, the Laziali are not a small team, and they have European ambitions this season. However, they have a challenge ahead of them with a six-point gap to the Champions League spots.
For Massimiliano Allegri and Maurizio Sarri, this will be the latest game in a 20-year rivalry, and neither will want to drop points.
Lazio returns
On their website, as MilanPress relays, it was confirmed that Valentin Castellanos and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru had been ‘re-instated’ to the squad and were available for the game on Saturday night. The Argentine forward is a massive return for Maurizio Sarri.
In five starts this season, he has scored 2 goals and gotten three assists, and he could be a big threat if he features. Whether he will be ready from the start is debatable, though, given his last minutes came at the start of October.
This will be very, very rough. I am not so sure we can actually win if none of Pulisic and Salemakers play and Lazio are getting stronger Nd stronger…
