Against Atlanta! Sarri: I don’t know how long Zakani and others can play. Tavares cannot be in the middle.

Before Lazio's away game against Atlanta, head coach Sarri attended the press conference. He introduced in detail the team's extensive injuries and talked about the status of individual players.

What is the current injury situation of the team? In particular, can Zakani, Dia and Marusic play?

The injuries of Zakani, Dia and Marusic are all critical. They only trained with us today, and we don’t know how long they can play. From a physical perspective, training is of little reference value.

Some people have to come on, others will go on the bench, but I'm worried about having an injured player come off the bench. We analyzed these injuries: some are old, like Dia's ankle. Pellegrini's was a traumatic injury, and other muscle problems are related to specific areas. As for Zaccani, he had a complicated summer after undergoing an operation: the situation was delicate.

How long will it take for Castellanos to recover from his injury?

The injury will last at least 4-5 weeks, so it is still far from his return.

Does Danilo Cataldi's performance surprise you?

His performance doesn't surprise me at all, we're talking about a very solid player. He always makes a big impact.

What is the status of Isakson and Tavares?

Isakson played two short-term games with the national team. Until yesterday, we were keeping his workload very low. He had a high-level workout this morning and I saw him being more responsive and explosive than he was a few days ago. I don't think Tavares's difficulties are at a tactical level, he may not be able to play in the center of midfield as that would lose his biggest advantage, acceleration from distance. I think he just needs to get his confidence back.
