Latest Lazio vs Lecce team news
In the latest development of the long-running media saga, Nicolo Rovella has finally undergone surgery for a hernia after being sidelined for several weeks; therefore, the crucial midfield link for Lazio will remain out for at least another month.
The Italian international will remain sidelined along with striker Valentin Castellanos, Matteo Cancellieri and Samuel Gigot, but Nuno Tavares is expected to return to Sarri's squad this weekend.
Boulaye Dia will continue to replace Castellanos in attack, even though he has yet to score since taking over the position; Cancellieri and captain Mattia Zaccagni are currently Lazio's top scorers with three goals each.
Meanwhile, Lecce is facing a more serious attacking crisis, with Nikola Stulic and AC Milan's young talent Francesco Camarda having only scored one goal each in Serie A. Camarda recently suffered a minor injury while on international duty with the Italian U21 team, so Stulic is likely to start in Rome.
The visiting team will still be without Gaby Jean and Filip Marchwinski due to injury, but French midfielder Balthazar Pierret could return after a thigh problem.

Latest football match prediction: Lazio vs Lecce
After tightening their defense and gradually recovering from a slow start to the season, Lazio went unbeaten in six consecutive matches – including four clean sheets – before traveling to face Inter Milan in the most recent round.
However, the capital team conceded a goal just three minutes into the match at San Siro, and ultimately lost 0-2 to Inter – who subsequently rose to the top of the league table.
Left far behind their Milanese counterparts, Lazio currently sit ninth with 15 points and have a lot of work to do if they want to get back into the race for a European cup spot.
Maurizio Sarri recently admitted he remains uncertain about the possibility of strengthening the squad in January, after the transfer ban derailed his summer plans – it remains unclear whether the club's financial fair play issues have been resolved.
Therefore, the veteran manager can only focus on the pitch, and his team has reason to be confident this weekend, having just secured two consecutive victories at the Stadio Olimpico – only the second time they've achieved this this year.
The home side will also be looking to get revenge on Lecce for their painful defeat in the final round of last season, a loss that cost them a place in European competition.
That 0-1 defeat in May also helped Lecce avoid relegation, extending their run in Serie A to four consecutive years – a record for the southern club.
In fact, Salentini had won half of their last six encounters with Lazio before their trip to the capital, and they have also performed quite well away from home this season.
Eusebio Di Francesco's team boasts a surprisingly good away record, with both of their Serie A wins coming on the road. In their most recent match, they drew 0-0 with Hellas Verona at the Via del Mare stadium.
With 10 points, Lecce are temporarily just above the relegation zone, but Genoa and Fiorentina – both teams having recently appointed new coaches – are expected to improve their form, meaning Lecce will still be in a season-long battle to avoid relegation.
Unable to adequately replace last season's top scorer Nikola Krstovic, Lecce's problem is crystal clear: they score fewer than one goal per game, and only two players have had more than one goal since the start of the season.
