Lazio Will Be Without Key Duo Against Genoa – Taty Castellanos Doubtful | OneFootball

Lazio will be solely focusing on their remaining Serie A fixtures after being eliminated from the Europa League, but they will be missing some of their key players against Genoa.

Lazio Crash Out of Europe

The Biancocelesti completed a remarkable comeback in the second leg against Bodo/Glimt, but they ended up conceding an equalizer in extra time, before falling short in the dramatic shootouts.

Nuno Tavares Suffers Fresh Blow

If his team’s elimination wasn’t devastating enough, Nuno Tavares had already left the pitch in tears after sustaining his seventh injury of the season. The Portuguese had just made his way back from a short spell on the sidelines, as Marco Baroni was determined to have him at his disposal for the big European contest.

The Arsenal loanee entered the pitch in the second half as a replacement for Adam Marusic, but then left his place to Elseid Hysaj four minutes into extra time. The left-back will undergo clinical tests in the coming hours, but La Lazio Siamo Noi confirms he’ll be out of Monday’s away contest against Genoa. Luca Pellegrini could get the nod in his place.

Gustav Isaksen Suspended

Moreover, Gustav Isaksen won’t be part of the Ligurian trip after collecting his fifth yellow card of the season in last weekend’s Derby della Capitale. It remains to be seen who will replace the suspended Dane, but Loum Tchaouna could be the most likely candidate for the role.

Taty Castellanos in Doubt

As for Taty Castellanos, the circumstances forced him to play for 120 minutes against Bodo/Glimt despite only recently returning from a long layoff. The Argentine suffered from cramp towards the end of the contest, but had to grit his teeth until the final whistle. Sadly, he ended up missing the final spot-kick that doomed Lazio’s European campaign.

The striker’s condition will be closely monitored over the next few days, as his availability for Monday’s match remains doubtful.
