The first European draw against Ludogorets on Thursday evening leaves more than a few marks on Lazio Marco Baroni. Not only was the anger over the penalty kick not awarded by Croatian Strukan for the foul on Isaksen, after the match against the Bulgarians Formello’s infirmary was also full. In addition to Tavares and Castrovilli, with the Portuguese hoping to return for one of the two matches against Napoli, at the Tardini tomorrow at 3pm Baroni will most likely also have to give up Matias Vecino. The Uruguayan came off at the hour mark due to a muscle problem in his left thigh and will not be available for the match against Parma. The hope is that the former Fiorentina and Inter player stopped in time, but his stop forces Baroni not to rotate his elements in midfield.
Lazio, Guendouzi always a starter in Serie A
He is heading towards his fourteenth match as a starter in 14 games in Serie A Matteo Guendouzitruly irreplaceable for Marco Baroni. The Frenchman is the only outfield player to have started all the league matches, remaining out only in the two European matches against Dinamo Kiev and Twente. At Tardini he will arrive in his eighth consecutive match from the start and has missed only 17 minutes with Cagliari and three in injury time in the match against Monza. A tour de force to which must also be added the 90 minutes played at San Siro during the Italy-France match for a total of just over 700 minutes played in a month from the match against Genoa on 27 October. A fixed point for Lazio who must manage themselves on the pitch, waiting for Castrovilli’s recovery and above all waiting to understand what the extent of Vecino’s stoppage will be. However, seeing Guendouzi’s reaction to the substitution against Cagliari, one has to think that Baroni will never take him off the pitch.
