Felipe Anderson is back in training with Lazio, so should be ready to start Sunday’s Italian Super Cup against Juventus.

It kicks off on Sunday at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).

There had been concerns that Felipe Anderson would miss the first competitive game of the season after sustaining a thigh injury.

However, on Thursday the Brazilian resumed training with the rest of his teammates, as did Wallace, Jordan Lukaku and Stefan Radu.

If Anderson doesn’t make it, then Keita Balde Diao – heavily linked with a move to Juventus – will start alongside Ciro Immobile.

Bastos is suspended for the Super Cup clash, which is between the Scudetto winners and Coppa Italia runners-up.

Lucas Leiva is expected to start in midfield following his transfer from Liverpool.

Lazio (probable): Strakosha; Wallace, De Vrij, Hoedt; Basta, Parolo, Lucas Leiva, Milinkovic-Savic, Lulic; Felipe Anderson, Immobile
