“Petagna needs to have his operation as soon as possible, while the season is also over for Spinazzola and Rizzo,” said the Coach in his Press conference.

“I am worried about the booking Remo Freuler picked up against Genoa, because he’s one card away from suspension, as are Bryan Cristante and Gianluca Mancini.

“We’ve got Milan straight after Lazio, so if two get banned rather than one, that’ll be a real problem. We’ve got to play to the best of our abilities, even though I have seven players for only six places.

“It’s also fair to say Lazio are missing some key figures like Ciro Immobile, but Felipe Caicedo has already shown he’s capable of filling in.

“We played so well against Lazio earlier this season and they are a great side, just look at the campaign they’ve had. Both teams are in good shape and highly-motivated.”
