Ciro Immobile is injured and cannot play, but has asked to be named on the Lazio bench anyway so he can be with his teammates for the Derby della Capitale against Roma.

It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico at 17.00 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Juventus-Inter on the LIVEBLOG.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is suspended following a contentious yellow card, while Immobile has not recovered from a thigh injury.

However, the Italy international striker is named on the bench, despite being out of the squad announced this morning by coach Maurizio Sarri.

According to DAZN and Sky Sport Italia, Immobile asked specifically to be brought along on the bench so he can participate in the experience and help cheer on his teammates from the touchline.

Roma are missing injured Paulo Dybala, Leonardo Spinazzola, Georginio Wijnaldum and Ebrima Darboe for this showdown.

  1. Bah, I forgot that this is a reality where Tammy & Belotti are undeservedly playing instead of Shomurodov, the Uzbek Messi.
