Fairly active in Napoli meeting Lazaro won one of two tackles and recorded five crosses (one accurate), two clearances and two corners in Friday's 2-1 loss against Napoli.

Impact Lazaro didn't look great on the second Napoli goal, as Matteo Politano outjumped him and assisted Elijf Elmas, but was lively as usual on the other end, pacing his side in deliveries. He has launched at least one in 13 straight fixtures, totaling 69 crosses (18 accurate) and logging one assist and 13 key passes over that span. Additionally, he has recorded one or more tackles in the last eight rounds, racking up 18 and winning 11 of them, and has tallied multiple clearances in three showings in a row, amassing seven.

Sends 10 crosses in win Lazaro had two shots (zero on goal), 10 crosses (three accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 2-0 win versus Lazio.

Impact Lazaro was a dominant weapon in the attack for Torino, and the wing-back was a reliable crossing threat throughout the game. This 10-cross output was his second-best mark of the entire season, and he's averaging 1.0 chances, 0.6 shots, 5.6 crosses, 1.9 corners, 1.9 tackles, 1.3 interceptions and 1.0 clearances per game over his last 10 appearances. Playing as a wing-back has allowed Lazaro to unlock some of the defensive value he wasn't delivering when deployed as an old-school winger.

Sends in five crosses against Fiorentina Lazaro registered one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Fiorentina.

Additionally, he has recorded at least one tackle in four matches in a row, racking up 10 (seven won).

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in service Lazaro generated one shot (one on goal), seven crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Roma.

Impact None of Lazaro's crosses were deemed accurate and while he did have three interceptions, the service was terrible in the circumstances. He cannot replicate this effort against Como on Saturday if Torino wish to take points from the match. Como have only conceded 16 goals in 21 Serie A games, so Lazaro's crossing needs to be better to find teammates in good attacking positions.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Delivers one assist Lazaro assisted once to go with 11 crosses (four accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 2-1 loss versus Udinese.

Impact Lazaro turned in a solid performance against Udinese on Wednesday, providing his second assist of the season with a pinpoint cross for Cesare Casadei's header. He was very active going forward and could have added more, recording two key passes, a season-high 11 crosses and two interceptions. The Austrian has been heavily involved offensively of late, registering one assist, six chances created and 31 crosses over his last five Serie A appearances.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Serviceable in Juventus meeting Lazaro created two scoring chances and had three crosses (two accurate), six clearances and three tackles (two won) in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Juventus.

Impact Lazaro had to defend more than usual, setting a new season high in clearances, but he was still a secondary factor on offense. He'll compete with Niels Nkounkou and Marcus Pedersen for the two spots on the wing going forward, as the former recovered from an injury. He has posted at least three crosses in the last four matches, totaling 19 (five accurate) and adding one assist, five chances created, ten corners and 13 clearances.

NOVEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Leads team in crosses versus Pisa Lazaro generated five crosses (one accurate), two clearances and three corners in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Pisa.

Impact Lazaro filled in for Niels Nkonkou (thigh) for the second match in a row, playing over Cristiano Biraghi, and paced his side in deliveries, but he didn't have great touch. He has put up five or more assists in three straight matches, racking up 16 (three accurate) and adding nine corners and four tackles (one goal) in that span. He failed to create a chance after doing so in his previous four appearances. Instead, he has logged multiple clearances in his last five displays.

Impact Lazaro returned after being an unused substitute on the previous outing. The full-back was brought as part of a triple substitution at the hour mark and whipped cross after cross after cross into the opposition's box as he usually does. And one of them ended up being very important as his corner kick in the 90th minute was volleyed home by Guillermo Maripan for the goal that gave Torino all three points in play. This was the first assist of the year for Lazaro, who will hope this helps him on the fight for regaining his starting spot.

APRIL 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Might return against Napoli Lazaro (calf) was spotted in practice with the rest of the group ahead of Sunday's game versus Napoli, Goal reported.

Impact Lazaro is progressing in his rehab from a calf issue, but it remains to be seen whether the coach will call him up right away or give him another week after sitting out the past three fixtures. If available, he'd be the top option on the right flank, and Torino had to tweak their scheme to replace him.

APRIL 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Stays on the mend for Como game Lazaro (calf) "has a soleus issue, and we'll try to shorten the recovery times," coach Paolo Vanoli stated.

APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will sit out Verona match Lazaro "will miss Sunday's game against Verona due to calf soreness," coach Paolo Vanoli announced.

Impact Lazaro will be available despite being banged up and could be able to retain his starting job. He has assisted once in the last five games, posting four chances created, 16 crosses (two accurate) and seven corners.

MARCH 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Empoli game Lazaro is in doubt for Saturday's match versus Empoli due to an ankle contusion, coach Paolo Vanoli announced.

Impact Lazaro was roughed up in the previous match and has been limited in training. Yann Karamoh, Adrien Tameze and Karol Linetty could potentially replace him in the XI if he wasn't fit enough, with some reshuffling across the formation in the last two cases since Torino are short on wingers.

MARCH 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
