Le Aquile secured a rare 2-1 away win at the Doosan Arena against Viktoria Plzen last Thursday, despite having two men sent off.

Ahead of Lazio’s home clash tonight, Baroni revealed Dele-Bashiru is still in pain after suffering an ankle injury against Venezia.

“Castellanos is fine and will be in the game. In any case, I will make some assessments together with him. We will reflect on Nino Tavares, while Dele-Bashiru still has some pain in his ankle, and I will have a chat with him too,” the 61-year-old Italian manager said in quotes revealed by Alfredo Pedulla.
