Lazio players celebrate EPA-EFE/RICCARDO ANTIMIANI

Lazio are still unable to count on Taty Castellanos from the start, so Pedro and Boulaye Dia lead the attack against Dynamo Kyiv in the opening Europa League fixture.

It kicks off at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

The Biancocelesti had a mixed Serie A record so far this season under new coach Marco Baroni, emerging with two wins, two defeats and a 2-2 draw against Milan.

They were beaten 2-1 by Fiorentina on Sunday, and although Castellanos has recovered enough to sit on the bench, the centre-forward is still not fully fit, with Samuel Gigot out of action.

Veteran Pedro starts with Loum Tchaouna and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru supporting centre-forward Boulaye Dia.

Dynamo Kyiv for obvious reasons cannot play in Ukraine, so they are hosting this match on neutral turf in Hamburg instead.

They have a lot of injury problems to contend with, missing Matviy Ponomarenko, Denys Popov, Mykola Mykhaylenko, Nazar Voloshyn and Volodymyr Shepelev.

There are circa 850 Lazio fans present in the stands.
