Only One Lazio Player Returns From Injury, Trio Ruled Out of Parma Match

Lazio have received a boost from the infirmary, as Matteo Cancellieri is ready to return to action this weekend against Parma.

The Background

The winger hurt his knee during the five-day vacation Gennaro Gattuso handed to his players at the start of the lengthy international break. The 24-year-old was hoping to be available for last weekend’s trip to Turin, but he was eventually kept behind. Luckily for the Aquile, his services weren’t missed, as the team went on to beat Juventus by three unanswered goals.

Matteo Cancellieri Will Return for Lazio vs Parma

According to La Lazio Siamo Noi, Cancellieri has fully recovered from injury, and he’s already training with the group. The Roman will receive a call-up for Saturday’s game against Parma, where he had spent the 2024/25 campaign on loan. However, he in unlikely to start the game, especially with Gustav Isaksen in fine form.

Adam Marusic & Nicolo Rovella’s Returns Delayed

While Cancellieri’s return has been virtually confirmed, Nicolo Rovella and Adam Marusic won’t take part in the action, as they have yet to fully recover from their muscle injuries. The duo could earn folkloric call-ups, but they won’t be involved in the game.

Albert Gudmundsson to Undergo New Tests

The same goes for Albert Gudmunsson, whose condition will be assessed once again this week. The Icelandic attacker dislocated his shoulder during a UEFA Nations League game against Estonia, and he could remain on the sidelines until the November international break, but the new tests should shed further light on his condition.

Danilo Cataldi Ready for Game Time

It should be also be noted that Danilo Cataldi should finally get some minutes in the next three games against Parma, Sassuolo, and Cagliari. The experienced midfielder has been included in the squad over the past few weeks after clinically recovering from groin surgery, but Gennaro Gattuso has been reluctant to field him.
