He has kept two clean sheets in the last four matches, surrendering five goals. He has made at least two saves in five games on the trot, accumulating 12. Up next, Lazio will face Juventus away next Sunday.

Mattia Zaccagni - Unfit to play Friday Zaccagni is on the bench to support his teammates but is unavailable due to a late abdominal injury, Lazio announced.

Impact Zaccagni got hurt in the final training sessions and will be better evaluated in the coming days to determine his timetable. Pedro is taking his place on the wing, while Daniel Maldini is starting as a false-nine over Boulaye Dia and Petar Ratkov. Tijjani Noslin and Matteo Cancellieri are the other substitute options up front.

Alessio Romagnoli - Out on Friday Romagnoli (not-injury-related) didn't make Lazio's squad list to face Genoa on Friday.

Impact Romagnoli has been holding out to transfer and won't be involved in this one, although it remains to be seen whether he'll be allowed to leave. In the meantime, Oliver Provstgaard will replace him next to Mario Gila, while Adam Marusic will serve as an emergency option since Lazio don't have further center-backs, as Patric (calf) is unavailable too.

Nicolo Rovella - Could be back versus Genoa Rovella (groin) has been spotted training regularly in the lead-up to Friday's contest against Genoa, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Rovella wasn't an option last week due to a muscular ailment and didn't feel comfortable enough to play, as he's still ramping up after missing months because of a groin injury and surgery. However, he's trending in the right direction ahead of this game and would back up Danilo Cataldi if fit.

Alessio Romagnoli - Might miss Genoa game Romagnoli skipped training for two days in a row to force his way out, Corriere dello Sport relayed.

Impact Romagnoli has received a lucrative offer from Qatar and was led to believe he would be let go last week, but then the team did a 180. It remains to be seen whether he'll show up at the facility on game day. Oliver Provstgaard will likely start regardless.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Maldini - Transfers to Lazio Maldini has moved to Lazio on loan with an option to buy from Atalanta, Serie A confirmed.

Impact Maldini got off to a decent start but progressively lost minutes and has been an afterthought in recent months, even if Ademola Lookma missed multiple games because of AFCON. He'll back up Mattia Zaccagni and potentially play in other attacking roles at Lazio, competing with Boulaye Dia, Tijjani Noslin, and Petar Ratkov. He has registered eight shots (two on target), four chances created and 11 crosses (three accurate) in 10 showings (four starts).

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Edoardo Motta - Moves to Lazio Motta has completed a permanent switch from Reggiana to Lazio.

Impact Motta jumps to Serie A after a solid half a season in the second division, during which he allowed 30 goals and kept five clean sheets in 20 games in a midtable team. He's replacing Christos Mandas, who headed to Bournemouth, as Ivan Provedel's no.2.

Alessio Romagnoli - Puts up stats in Lecce contest Romagnoli generated one tackle (one won), four clearances and three interceptions in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Lecce.

Impact Romagnoli impeccably led the backline and put up good numbers in the back. He's rumored to be on his way out and reportedly bid farewell to the fans in this one, but Lazio denied the chatter Saturday. He has recorded at least one clearance in every display, amassing 81 in 20 matches, with nine clean sheets. He has notched 23 in the last five rounds, adding four tackles (three won), seven interceptions and four blocks.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Marusic - Solid performance against Lecce Marusic registered three crosses (zero accurate), five clearances and one tackle (one won) in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Lecce.

Impact Marusic moved from the left to the right wing, but his tasks didn't change much. He had his highest number of crosses in a couple of months, but he lacked touch. He has tallied at least one clearance in 15 consecutive games, totaling 33 and adding 15 crosses (five accurate), 23 tackles (eight won) and 11 interceptions over that span, with eight clean sheets.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Danilo Cataldi - Completes suspension Cataldi served a one-match ban in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Lecce.

Impact Cataldi will be eligible to play Friday against Genoa and likely start over either Matias Vecino or Toma Basic, especially considering that Nicolo Rovella (undisclosed) suffered a setback. He has scored once and added six shots (two on target), six key passes and 16 crosses (four accurate) in his last five displays (all starts).

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Boulaye Dia - Engulfed by Lecce defenders Dia (AFCON) drew one foul and had one shot (one on goal) and two tackles (one won) in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Lecce.

Impact Dia got the nod after international duty, as he looked good enough in training, per the coach, but he didn't get much going in a tightly contested game. He'll have to produce to stay ahead of Tijjani Noslin and Petar Ratkov. He has scored just once so far and has logged four shots (two on target), three chances created and three tackles (two won) in his last five showings.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Toma Basic - Silent display in Lecce fixture Basic (thigh) took one shot (zero on target) and had one cross (zero accurate), two blocks and one clearance in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Lecce.

Impact Basic managed to go to distance after skipping two fixtures because of a muscular injury, but featured in a less dynamic role than usual without Danilo Cataldi (suspension), and his output suffered. He'll split duties with Matias Vecino and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru in the next few matches, while newcomer Kenneth Taylor appears to have secured a regular spot already. Basic has registered seven shots (three on target), six chances created and 16 crosses (nine accurate) in his last six appearances.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Matias Vecino - Contributes defensively versus Lecce Vecino (thigh) had two tackles (two won), one block and two clearances in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Lecce.

Impact Vecino played for more than an hour in his return from a brief absence and was limited to contributing in the passive phase while filling in for Danilo Cataldi (suspension) and Nicolo Rovella (undisclosed). He'll compete primarily with Toma Basic and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru going forward. He has notched at least one tackle in his last three performances, totaling five (four won) and adding one key pass, two blocks and four clearances, with one assist.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Provedel - Blanks Lecce on Saturday Provedel recorded two saves and kept a clean sheet in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Lecce.

Impact Provedel was rarely tested and answered the bell when he needed to. Ylber Ramadani rocked the crossbar from distance in Lecce's best effort. He has secured two clean sheets in the last six rounds, making 14 saves and surrendering eight goals. Up next, Lazio will host Genoa on Friday.

JANUARY 24 • Associated Press

Matias Vecino - Starts during return Vecino (thigh) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Lecce.

Impact Vecino was likely to be an option and passed his testing Saturday, with the midfielder recovering to find a spot in the starting XI immediately. This marks his fifth start in 13 appearances this season, yet to bag a goal but having one assist.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Toma Basic - Finds starting XI Basic (thigh) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Lecce.

Impact Basic is with his team again after a thigh injury, missing two games due to the injury, but is now an option. He has only missed two starts all season, when an option, likely to remain in this role while adding to his three-goal contributions.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Boulaye Dia - Starting Saturday Dia (international duty) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Lecce.

Impact Dia was off at AFCOn but is back with the squad after his time out, ending a month-long absence. He started in 10 of his 13 appearances while going unused a few times before he left, looking to return to a starting role and add to his one goal this campaign.

Matias Vecino - Probable for Lecce fixture Vecino (thigh) has practiced regularly during the week and has made the provisional squad for Saturday's clash versus Lecce, Tuttomercatoweb informed.

Impact Vecino was a late scratch for the past game and didn't experience significant setbacks afterward. He'll be in the running to start in the midfield with Toma Basic (thigh), who's not fully fit either, Reda Belahyane and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru. Vecino has assisted once and posted five off-target shots, four tackles (three won) and two key passes in his last five appearances (three starts).

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolo Rovella - Ruled out for Lecce match Rovella will miss Saturday's game versus Lecce due to a late injury in training, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Rovella would have likely filled in for Danilo Cataldi (suspension), but he got hurt in practice and is set for tests. Instead, Toma Basic (thigh) and Matias Vecino (thigh) are good to go in the midfield, and at least one of the two will get the nod.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Boulaye Dia - Available versus Lecce Dia (AFCON) will be an option against Lecce, La Gazzetta dello Sport relayed.

Impact Dia will likely begin on the bench after winning the tournament and spending a month and a half away from the team. He'll compete with Petar Ratkov and Tijjani Noslin following the departure of Taty Castellanos. Dia has tallied three shots (one on target), four chances created and one tackle (one won) in his last five displays.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Toma Basic - Should be back versus Lecce Basic (thigh) has been training regularly and is in contention to start Saturday, Il Messaggero reported.

Impact Basic isn't 100 percent after missing two matches but could be thrust into the XI since Daniele Cataldi is suspended, Nicolo Rovella is iffy and Matias Vecino (thigh) is coming off an injury as well. Reda Belahyane and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru are the only healthy midfielders. Basic has notched six shots (three on target), six key passes and 15 crosses (nine accurate) in his last five showings (all starts).
