As expected, Ciro Immobile has been left out of the Lazio squad for tonight’s Europa League match against Nice.

 

The striker is suffering from a thigh strain, and Coach Simone Inzaghi confirmed in his press conference yesterday that he was unlikely to feature against Les Aiglons.

 

“Immobile took a knock after Benevento, so he almost certainly won’t play tomorrow,” Inzaghi said on Wednesday.

 

“I don’t think I’ll call him up. We’ll evaluate everything with our staff, but he’s not definitely at risk for Sunday.”

 

Today the manager named his squad, and, as expected, the Italian international has not been included.

 

Nani and Felipe Caicedo are expected to start the game, and both are included in the squad.

 

Lazio squad to face Nice: Guerrieri, Strakosha, Vargic, Bastos, de Vrij, Luiz Felipe, Lukaku, Marusic, Patric, Radu, Crecco, Leiva, Luis Alberto, Lulic, Milinkovic, Murgia, Parolo, Caicedo, Nani, Palombi

 

The teams go head-to-head in Rome at 9pm (CEST) tonight.
