Lazio: Patric and Vecino in the group, doubts for Romagnoli against Milan

Rome 28 February 2025 - The news that brings the Lazio on Sunday, when at 20pm they will take to the field in the Sunday evening match against Milan. Yesterday evening the Milanese fell in the recovery of Serie A against Bologna, defeated 2-1 by Bologna. A defeat that left us very bitter Sergio Conceicao, who also responded harshly to some of the criticism he received. It is not a good time for the Portuguese coach, he who is a former Biancocelesti player and who dreams of success at San Siro against the boys of Marco Baroni to restore morale to his team.

La Lazio has no time to worry about the problems of the Milanese. The Biancocelesti certainly won't want to do charity work in the trip to San Siro, on the contrary they will try with a victory to push the Rossoneri even further away in this very tight chase for fourth place with five teams involved, in a wide space, namely 9 points, but not yet unbridgeable. Just as the Milanese must redeem themselves for this defeat valid for the championship, the Capitoline have the elimination in Coppa Italia to be worked off. Returning a few days later to the same stadium where the chance to reach the semi-finals of the Cup was lost will have an effect, even if the colours in the stands will be different. 

As mentioned, however, the lead-up week did not bring good news to the Lazio coach. In addition to Tuesday's defeat, two central defenders stopped in yesterday's training. Alessio Romagnoli It was already known: the central defender suffered an adductor strain during the match against Inter. The player will be re-evaluated in an attempt to reintegrate him into the team as soon as possible. Yesterday he skipped training in the hope of at least being available on Sunday evening. However, the Italian defender is not the only defender in the pits: in addition to him, Hysaj he only worked separately, together with Basic e Castilians, the latter out for several more weeks. 

But whoever returned to the group is Patric, the use of which is highly regarded by the technician. Currently Leg he is the favourite due to his form, but the Spaniard's experience could also be very useful during the match. Out also Dele Bashiru in midfield, Baroni but he is happy to hug again Matias Vecino, who had already returned to training with his teammates at the beginning of the week and continued his work today. His absence has allowed space for the Nigerian's growth and the timing of his return, in conjunction with the injury suffered by the 2001-born player, will allow for large rotations even in midfield without forcing anyone to work overtime. He will return from suspension on Sunday rovella and he will be the midfielder alongside Guendouzi, but the native of Canelones can give that consistency to the department that perhaps those who arrived in January still lack. The doubt in goal still persists, with mandas still slightly favored over Provedel for the role of holder against the Milan.
