Speaking to the press following his sides 1-1 draw at home to Atalanta, Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi took stock of the injury crisis threatening to disrupt the Biancocelesti season.
“Those who played expressed themselves very well, even Stefan de Vrij who came in with a little problem. Luis Alberto, Stefan Radu and Marco Parolo will try to recover in time for the match against Crotone, and Ciro Immobile is working to return against Inter. It is too early to say if he will make it or not, though. I hope that both De Vrij and Lucas Leiva will return for us next week as we know it will be a battle against Crotone.”
The draw against Atalanta saw Lazio’s lead over Inter reduced to two points, increasing the chance that the clash between the two sides on the final day of the season will effectively be a play off to qualify for the Champions League. First, however, Lazio must visit Crotone who are fighting to remain in Serie A whilst Inter will welcome Sassuolo to the San Siro.
