Lazio’s defensive crisis means Lucas Leiva is expected to start as a centre-back against Milan in tonight’s Coppa Italia semi-final first leg.
Wallace, Bastos and Luiz Felipe are all injured and Stefan Radu is suspended, so Lucas looks set to drop into a back four with Adam Marusic, Francesco Acerbi and Senad Lulic.
Lazio are also likely to switch from a 3-5-1-1 formation to a new-look 4-3-2-1, with Ciro Immobile supported by Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Joaquin Correa.

Milan, meanwhile, are likely to rest full-backs Ricardo Rodriguez and Andrea Conti, whereas Hakan Calhanoglu should make way for Fabio Borini on the left wing.
