Lazio are set to be without Mattia Zaccagni and Nicolò Rovella for tomorrow’s Serie A match against Cesc Fabregas’ Como.

It kicks off on Thursday at the Stadio Sinigaglia at 19.45 GMT.

Zaccagni had already been ruled out of the 3-0 victory over Genoa at the weekend when suffering from flu symptoms and it seems he has still not fully recovered.

With that in mind, he has been left at home and is not making the trip up north to Como tomorrow.

Also absent for the Aquile is midfielder Rovella, who picked up a muscular problem in the last training session this afternoon and will be rested as a precaution.

On the other hand, Manuel Lazzari might be back in the group following his own muscular injury a few weeks ago.

It is therefore likely that Matias Vecino or Gaetano Castrovilli will step into the midfield for Rovella.

As for Zaccagni, his position was taken by Tijjani Noslin against Genoa and there could also be a start for Pedro, resting Boulaye Dia.

Lazio probable (4-2-3-1): Provedel; Marusic, Patric, Gila, Tavares; Guendouzi, Vecino; Tchaouna, Pedro, Noslin; Castellanos
