Lazio, after Zaccagni's injury Tavares also worries Gattuso

Tavares is a doubt for Sunday's Napoli match after Zaccagni's injury; Pedraza is the backup option.

Lazio manager Gattuso faces fresh defensive concerns ahead of Sunday's clash with Napoli. After Zaccagni's injury, left-back Tavares is now also in doubt, forcing Gattuso to consider alternatives. Pedraza is the primary backup, with Marusic available from the bench.

Gattuso will deploy Floriani, Sutalo and Provstgaard in defence, with an unchanged midfield of Frattesi, Belahyane and Taylor. The left flank, which has been central to Lazio's attacking play through the Tavares-Zaccagni combination, will see Noslin shifted to the wing if Tavares cannot play. Cancellieri is not considered a viable option on the left after a failed experiment under Sarri. Pinamonti leads the attack with Isaksen on the right, while Gudmundsson will be ready for the Lecce fixture.
