Lazio has closed the case of Luca Pellegrini, reinstating him in the official Serie A list. The full-back, who had been excluded from the squad for the season, is now back among the players available for coach GennaroGattuso and will already be on the pitch for the next match against Juventus, scheduled for Sunday 18 October at the Allianz Stadium.
The decision was made just two days before the match and gives the manager a new option on the left flank. With Pellegrini's return, Gattuso's team can restore the left-back rotation without having to look for an external replacement. Pellegrini's inclusion closes, at least for the moment, the uncertainties about his future within the club, issues that have occupied the last few weeks due to his exclusion from the championship list.
With the reinstatement, Lazio now has only one free place in the SerieA list, leaving the coach limited room for maneuver for any additions or changes. The next match, against Juventus, therefore represents an immediate test for the team, which will be able to evaluate Pellegrini's effectiveness on the pitch and decide whether to maintain his presence in the squad for the rest of the season.
