Miralem Pjanic is suspended while Marko Pjaca, Daniele Rugani and Sami Khedira are injured. Paulo Dybala and Mario Mandzukic will face late fitness tests but are expected to feature.

Federico Marchetti is Lazio’s only injury concern.

“A 20-day mini-season kicks off tomorrow with the Coppa Italia final then our home match against Crotone and it ends in Cardiff with the Champions League final.

It’s time to step up and start reaping what we have sown. Lazio have had a brilliant calendar year and I have no doubt that their coach Inzaghi will go on to do great things as a manager. They have an excellent squad and we will need to play very well indeed to beat them.”
