Lazio, Marco Baroni provides clarity on the condition of Nuno Tavares and Boulaye Dia
Marco Baroni and Lazio struggling with injuries
On the eve of the Italian Cup round of 16 match between his Lazio and Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico, which among other things precedes the league match between the same two teams scheduled for Sunday at reversed pitches, Marco Baroni explained how his team arrives and, in particular, shed light on two important players for the biancoceleste tactical chessboard, Nuno Tavares and Boulaye Dia.
"Tavares for this match is not there'è – said, without hiding too much, Baroni in the press conference -. I don't throw in the towel for the next one, we have to see if the injury that kept him out in the last few games è been overcome. Dia I don't think he will be able to be there on Thursday, but even for him there's hope for Sunday".
He could find space again, for the first time since last October 27, Gaetano Castrovilli, a footballer who, unfortunately for him, still had to deal with physical problems: "He told me that if he feels up to it, tomorrow I could give him a few minutes" said Baroni speaking just about the former Fiorentina player.
The winner of the challenge between Lazio and Napoli will face, in the quarterfinals, the winner of Inter-Udinese, scheduled for Dec. 19: the two contenders will face each other on a date chosen in the period from Feb. 5 to Feb. 26, which will be made official according to the conditions set by the calendars in those weeks.
