Immobile increasingly at risk for Juventus vs. Lazio

May 14, 2022

Ciro Immobile looks increasingly likely to miss Lazio’s Serie A showdown against Juventus on Monday evening.

According to the latest reports from the training ground, Immobile’s ankle continues to cause problems after the win over Sampdoria.

He has been struggling for a while with this issue and the centre-forward is still not in full training with the rest of his teammates.

There was some progress today, as Immobile put on his football boots and had a light jog around the ground, whereas for the last few days he was only in the gym and undergoing physiotherapy.

The good news is that the right ankle is no longer swollen, but the pain remains and tomorrow’s fitness test will be crucial.

Pedro has returned to full training after a month out with a right calf strain, but it remains to be seen who Maurizio Sarri will use upfront against his former club.

Felipe Anderson was tested in a False 9 role, while Jovane Cabral is another option.

Lazio have plenty to play for, as they are currently in fifth place and facing competition for that Europa League spot from Roma, Fiorentina and Atalanta.

Gollini set for Serie A return after Tottenham loan

May 11, 2022

Pierluigi Gollini is expected to return to Serie A in the summer, with Lazio and Torino interested in securing his services.

The Italy international has only managed 10 appearances while on loan at Tottenham this season, failing to make his Premier League debut.

The 27-year-old moved to North London on loan from Atalanta last summer and Spurs would have made his transfer permanent after his 20th match for the club. It is now impossible for Gollini to reach as many appearances, so his return to Italy is on the cards.

However, Atalanta are unlikely to keep hold of him, considering that they signed Juan Musso less than a year ago and that the Argentina international has proved to be worth every penny invested in signing him.

Torino and Lazio have emerged as possible options for Gollini who has a contract until 2024 in Bergamo.

Lazio will see Thomas Strakosha and Pepe Reina leave the club, while Torino want a new man between the sticks in 2022-23 after the disappointing performances of Vanja Milinkovic-Savic this term. Etrit Berisha is expected to remain at the club as a second-choice goalkeeper. According to Tuttosport, Alessio Cragno and Alex Meret are also on the Granata’s agenda.

Lotito on his birthday plans, title race and fan protest

May 9, 2022

Claudio Lotito discussed his plans for his 65th birthday, the 2021-22 Serie A season as a whole and the recent fan protest regarding ticket prices.

The Biancocelesti ultras recently expressed their frustration regarding the ticket prices for Lazio’s Serie A clash against Milan; the tickets started at €40 for the Curva Nord and €60 for the Distinti stands, something which infuriated the fans. Things have cooled down a little since then and decent home support was seen during the Roman club’s recent 2-0 win over Sampdoria.

Speaking to Lazio Style Radio, Lotito first discussed his birthday plans.

“It will be a day like any other, this evening I have an institutional dinner at the League, I have some things to do. It’s a good thing that there is someone who loves me, because usually… There is a hard core that still supports my work.”

The Lazio president reflected upon this Serie A season, looking up and down the table.

“This is an exciting season, we should all be happy, there’s nothing obvious either at the top or at the bottom of the table, it’s all still open.

“Lazio has always been at the top of the table, between fourth, fifth and sixth place. We’ve always participated in European competitions so I don’t understand this hostile attitude that makes no sense.”

Finally, Lotito discussed the fan protest regarding ticket prices recently and what possible solutions he has.

“It’s not a problem with the price of tickets, I understand the economic crisis, but I don’t even know if we gave all the tickets away for free if there would be a full house. I’ve done the most fan-friendly campaigns but I don’t think the stadium is always full.

“In the last game against Sampdoria 3,000 tickets were free, the rest were €10-20, and the attendance was still around 30,000. The problem is that we have a limited attendance compared to many other clubs.

“The fans should be happy, Lazio is the only one that hasn’t changed ownership, see Roma, Milan and Inter. The stability is there, beyond all the nonsense that is written. Lazio has no problems of any kind.

“The only positive thing is that I’m the fan’s punching bag, I’m pleased that at least they know where to vent their anger, I want to stress that my words are not controversial. I’d like to go back to twenty years ago when I took over Lazio, I was certainly better off.”

Lotito and the Lazio fans have often come to blows regarding his management of the club and his tight spending in transfer windows. It remains to be seen if he’ll back Maurizio Sarri in the summer.
