(ANSA) – MONZA, 02 MAY – The problem in the left thigh felt by Monza defender Armando Izzo during the match against Lecce last round is one of the issues that coach Raffaele Palladino must address to compose the starting eleven of his Monza, in view of the match against Lazio. For Saturday’s match at 6pm at the U-Power Stadium, Monza will certainly have to do without midfielder Patrick Ciurria, who underwent arthroscopic lateral meniscus surgery in recent days.
He won’t even be able to be present in midfield Roberto Gagliardini, disqualified for receiving yellow cards, while Dany Mota Carvalho’s recovery remains in great doubt in the attacking midfield. The Portuguese has missed the last three rounds of the championship due to the sprain he suffered against Napoli at the beginning of April and even if he is called up he will almost certainly be destined for the bench.
In light of these defections, Monza could bring Luca Caldirola back alongside Pablo Marì at the center of the four-man defence, with the position of Matteo Pessina to determine the other arrangements. If the captain were to be deployed in the attacking midfield, a tandem in front of the defense in 4-2-3-1 with Warren Bondo and Jean Daniel Akpa Akpro. If Pessina retreats, Daniel Maldini, Andrea Colpani and Alessio Zerbin are favored to play from the start in support of Milan Djuric. (HANDLE).
