What Happened
Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri has explained why Mattia Zaccagni starts for the Serie A side against Fiorentina, despite not being at 100 per cent. According to Football Italia, Sarri stated that Zaccagni’s condition is not a major concern, but the Italian coach prefers to start the winger against the Viola.
The Italian press outlet reports that Zaccagni has been struggling with a minor injury, but Sarri is confident that the 26-year-old will be able to play a key role in the match. Lazio will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2-0 loss to AC Milan last weekend, which saw them drop to fourth place in the Serie A table.
The Tactical Picture
Sarri’s decision to start Zaccagni against Fiorentina has sparked interest in the Italian media, with many speculating about the implications for the winger’s future at Lazio. According to Football Italia, Zaccagni has been linked with a move to AC Milan, but the Serie A giants are yet to make a formal offer for the winger.
The Italian press outlet reports that Lazio are unlikely to sell Zaccagni in the summer, with the winger having a contract until 2026. However, the club may consider selling him in the January transfer window if they receive a suitable offer. Meanwhile, Fiorentina are understood to be interested in signing Zaccagni, but they will face stiff competition from other Serie A clubs.
Contract details
