How Lazio could line up against Bayern Munich

How Lazio could line up against Bayern

Lazio have it all to do to recover a 4-1 deficit from the first leg against Bayern Munich in the Champions League last 16 on Wednesday, but Simone Inzaghi does at least look to have close to a full squad available to help him do so.

Manuel Lazzari (calf) and Luiz Felipe (ankle) both missed Friday's 3-2 win against Crotone in Serie A, with neither likely to recover in time for the trip to Munich.

However, Inzaghi does not appear to have any other injury concerns, with Adam Marusic likely to continue to deputise at right wing-back in the absence of Lazzari.

At centre-back, Mateo Musacchio, Stefan Radu and former Southampton defender Wesley Hoedt will compete for a place alongside Patric and Francesco Acerbi, with Inzaghi perhaps most likely to select Hoedt for his greater mobility.

Forward Felipe Caicedo came off the bench to score a late winner against Crotone and could provide physicality to trouble Bayern's leaky defence, but Joaquin Correa and Ciro Immobile may continue in attack, with Immobile looking to add to his tally of five Champions League goals this season.

Lazio's midfield is arguably their most settled part of the side, with Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and former Liverpool players Luis Alberto and Lucas Leiva providing a lovely blend of qualities.

Lazio possible starting line-up: Reina; Patric, Hoedt, Acerbi; Marusic, Milinkovic-Savic, Leiva, Alberto, Fares; Immobile, Correa
