Lazio confirmed today, during the press conference at 12.30pm, the reinstatement of LucaPellegrini into the team. The left back, born in 1999, had been excluded from the SerieA list, but the club has decided to make him available for the next match against Juventus. GennaroGattuso, Roma coach, explained that the issue was of a corporate nature and that the final decision was up to the management.
The Calabrian coach had already hinted at a possible return of Pellegrini in the previous weeks, but only today was it made official. The former player will return to play against his former team, Juventus, although in the hierarchy he remains subordinate to NunoTavares and PedroPedraza for the left-back position. Gattuso also confirmed that there will be no significant changes compared to the formation used last Sunday against Monza at the Olimpico.
In defense, the composition includes the presence of Sutalo alongside Provstgaard, with Tavares on the left and FlorianiMussolini on the right, ahead of ChristosMandas. The returns of Cancellieri, Marusic and Rovella have been postponed, and all three are aiming for the next match against Parma. In midfield, Dele‑Bashiru remains injured and will be the only change for the starting line-up, which includes Frattesi, Belahyane and Taylor.
In attack, TijjaniNoslin will continue to lead the offensive trident, with Pinamonti ready to take over if necessary. The lateral positions remain confirmed for Zaccagni on the left and Isaksen on the right.
With the reinstatement of Pellegrini, Roma is preparing for a decisive match against Juventus, with the hope of consolidating their position in the standings and taking advantage of the full availability of key players. The team, after the recent victory over Monza, aims to maintain its form and exploit new resources to face the challenges of the season.
