In a surprising turn of events, Lazio’s forward Mattia Zaccagni is set to be benched for the upcoming Serie A match against AC Milan on November 10th.
The decision comes after Zaccagni was unable to fully recover from a minor ankle injury sustained during training earlier this week.
Head coach Maurizio Sarri confirmed in a press conference that while Zaccagni’s condition is improving, he deemed it prudent to give the talented winger additional time to recuperate.
“Mattia is an important player for us, and we want to ensure he is at 100% before reintroducing him to the starting lineup,” Sarri stated.
Zaccagni will join his teammates on the sidelines during what is expected to be a crucial encounter against a strong AC Milan side.
Fans will look to see how Lazio adapts without their star forward, who has been instrumental in the team’s attacking plays this season.
The match, set to kick off at 20:45 CET, promises to be an electrifying encounter as both teams vie for crucial points in the title race.
Lazio supporters will be hoping for a swift return for Zaccagni, as he continues to work towards full fitness ahead of the busy holiday fixture schedule.
