Lazio Set to Face Sassuolo as Key Players Return to Fitness

Following their victory over Verona, Lazio is prepared to challenge Sassuolo in a match that will provide manager Maurizio Sarri with a clearer view on whether the season-opening loss to Como was merely an off day. The coach has received positive news regarding Gustav Isaksen; the Danish winger has fully recovered from mononucleosis and has reintegrated into first-team training. While unlikely to be named in the starting eleven, he is expected to receive a call-up for the Sassuolo fixture, providing Sarri with an additional option from the bench. Nicolò Rovella is also probable for a substitute role after returning from international duty in less-than-optimal physical condition. He may be rested for the match—making way for Danilo Cataldi—with an eye toward the upcoming derby. Meanwhile, the Biancocelesti manager is scheduled to hold a press conference tomorrow at 12:00.
