Earns bench spot Hysaj (thigh) is on the bench for Monday's match against Fiorentina.

Impact Hysaj is already back with the team, avoiding any time on the sidelines after being forced off the field in their last match against Torino.

Avoids significant issues Hysaj (thigh) escaped without relevant injuries and was back at practice Sunday, Tuttomercatoweb informed.

Unused in Bologna game Hysaj (ankle) didn't sub in during Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus Bologna.

Impact Hysaj was available despite an ankle problem against Bayern Munich but didn't get minutes. He started twice in a row before the issue after being an afterthought for a couple of months. Once fully healthy, he might supplant Manuel Lazzari and Luca Pellegrini in the more challenging matches.

FEBRUARY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Available versus Bologna Hysaj (ankle) is a bench option for Sunday's game against Bologna.

Impact Hysaj won't need to miss time despite twisting his ankle midweek but won't get the start unlike in the past two fixtures.

He has tallied six interceptions, three crosses (one accurate) and seven clearances in his last five appearances.

FEBRUARY 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nursing ankle injury Hysaj (ankle) is day-to-day due to a right ankle sprain, Lazio announced.

Impact Hysaj didn't practice after leaving the Bayern clash early and will miss Sunday's match versus Bologna, but he might be able to avoid a prolonged spell on the sidelines since the issue appears to be mild. Adam Marusic, Manuel Lazzari and Luca Pellegrini will be the options on the defensive wings while he recovers.

Limps off versus Bayern Hysaj left Wednesday's 1-0 win over Bayern Munich in the 60th minute due to an ankle sprain, coach Maurizio Sarri informed, after failing to record stats.

Impact Hysaj has resurfaced in the last two games after getting scarce minutes for two months, but he got hurt in this one and is headed for some tests before Sunday's home game versus Bologna. Since Luca Pellegrini (undisclosed) was missing midweek, Adam Marusic and Manuel Lazzari are currently the only healthy fullbacks.

FEBRUARY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Pretty good in Cagliari bout Hysaj had two crosses (zero accurate), three interceptions, one block and one tackle (zero won) in Saturday's 3-1 win over Cagliari.

Impact Hysaj notched his first start since mid-December and had mostly been unused in recent fixtures. The coach generally fields him when he wants to be more defensive-minded; plus, Manuel Lazzari and Luca Pellegrini haven't been great as of late, so he could get the nod again in the upcoming matches. He has notched three crosses (one accurate), three tackles (one won), and six interceptions in his last five appearances.

FEBRUARY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Busy in the back versus Milan Hysaj registered five tackles (two won), one block, and seven clearances in Saturday's 0-2 defeat versus AC Milan.

He was poked in the eye during his last match but seems to have recovered somewhat as he finds himself on the bench. He could find time on the pitch as a substitute against Atletico, but it seems he may have to fight for his starting spot back as Luca Pellegrini started in his place.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go for UCL clash Hysaj (eye) practiced regularly after bowing out versus Juventus and is in contention to start versus Atletico Madrid Tuesday, Tuttomercatoweb informs.

Impact Hysaj got poked in the eye in the first half of the previous game but didn't experience ulterior problems. He has good chances of holding onto the starting job despite the competition coming from Manuel Lazzari and Luca Pellegrini. He has tallied eight clearances, two interceptions, and one tackle in two games so far.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Subs off against Juventus Hysaj won one duel in 45 minutes before leaving Saturday's 1-3 loss to Juventus due to an eye problem, Gianluca di Marzio reports.

Impact Hysaj struggled like the rest of the Lazio defense in the first half and couldn't continue as he wasn't seeing properly. He'll take further tests ahead of Tuesday's clash with Atletico Madrid.

Impact Hysaj picked up small numbers but contributed across the board in both phases. He regularly played over Manuel Lazzari in the final few months as the coach preferred a more defensive option at the position. He starred 40 times (28 starts), tallying 22 crosses (nine accurate), 48 tackles, 26 interceptions, and 40 clearances and contributing to 13 clean sheets.
