Spanish defender Diego Llorente is doubtful ahead of tonight’s showdown with Lazio in the Derby della Capitale.

According to Il Messaggero, Llorente is fatigued after playing the full midweek fixture versus Slavia Praha.

His availability is questionable and far from guaranteed to start alongside Gianluca Mancini and Evan Ndicka.

As a result, Bryan Cristante will be eligible to replace him in tonight’s starting formation with Renato Sanches potentially slotting into the midfield along with Edoardo Bove and Leandro Paredes.
