Europa League
Eliminated by Imobile in the first game against Porto due to a high fever
Lazio’s mission to Portugal for their first European Cup game against Porto came with a very important absence as Ciro Immobile developed a high fever and was excluded from the Rome mission.
Lazio is counting on the duels with Porto for the play-offs of the round of 16 of the Europa League, with Mauricio Sari considering the first duel in Dragao on Thursday evening (17/2, 22:00, COSMOTE SPORT 4 HD and LIVE by Sportish).
“Ciro Immobile” is what he calls it after the capital’s Eagles bomber and their main attack weapon triggered a high fever on Tuesday night and the people of the team decide to let him out of the mission.
Since Vedat Muriki was loaned to Mallorca in January, Lazio has not had a pure-blooded centre-forward. Corriere dello Sport reported that Felipe Anderson played the role of the “pseudo-nine” with Pedro and Jackani to assist in the end of the attack in a 4-3-3 formation.
