Marco Baroni will reshuffle Lazio's starting lineup against Cagliari

After Thursday's away win against Como, Lazio coach Marco Baroni will announce the changes to his starting XI ahead of Monday's game against Cagliari.

According to La Lazio Siamo Noi, the 61-year-old will reshuffle almost the entire starting eleven, with only three players retaining their places, including goalkeeper Ivan Provedel.

The former Lecce and Hellas Verona head coach has been tinkering with his selection since the start of the season and that trick has borne fruit: the Biancocelesti have won seven of their last eight games in all competitions.

Manuel Lazzari and Samuel Gigot will start in the backline

The source expects a complete overhaul of the defense, with Manuel Lazzari set to play his first game in over a month after recovering from injury.

This will give the Italian Adam Marusic a break, as he has been forced to complete special missions in recent weeks. On the other hand, Luca Pellegrini will replace the suspended Nuno Tavares.

Samuel Gigot and Alessio Romagnoli should take over the baton from Patric and Mario Gila in defense.

Nicolo Rovella returns from injury and Taty Castellanos rests

In the middle of the park, Nicolo Rovella will return after missing the midweek game due to a minor physical problem, while Matias Vecino, Matteo Guendouzi and Gaetano Castrovilli are vying for a place alongside him. The Frenchman is apparently the favorite.

On the wings, Loum Tchaouna could prevail ahead of Gustav Isaksen, while Tijjani Noslin will start again if Mattia Zaccagni does not fully recover from his illness.

Additionally, Taty Castellanos could be rested in attack, leaving Boulaye Dia to lead the club's attack, supported by Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, who could replace Pedro in the gap.

Lazio Probable XI vs Cagliari

(4-2-3-1): Provedel; Lazzari, Gigot, Romagnoli, Pellegrini; Guendouzi, Rovella; Tchaouna, Dele-Bashiru, Noslin; Diam
