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.

Danilo Cataldi - Disqualified for Lecce game Cataldi had two shots (one on target), one cross (zero accurate) and one interception and picked up his fifth yellow card in Monday's 3-0 loss to Como.

Impact Cataldi had a poor showing, like most Lazio players in the romp, and will miss Saturday's game versus Lecce due to yellow-card accumulation.
