Matteo Guendouzi is poised to return to the Lazio starting lineup for their crucial match against Juventus, following a brief period of uncertainty surrounding his status.
The French midfielder had missed the previous two matches due to a reported calf injury, but speculation also suggested a potential rift with manager Maurizio Sarri. However, Guendouzi has since rejoined the squad and is fully prepared to contribute.
Sarri’s decision to reinstate Guendouzi in the starting lineup highlights the player’s importance to Lazio’s midfield. His energy, quality, and grit are essential qualities for the Biancocelesti, especially against a formidable opponent like Juventus.

Guendouzi’s return alongside Danilo Cataldi will mark a new midfield pairing for Lazio, with Cataldi replacing the injured Patric. This tactical shift could provide Lazio with a fresh approach and potentially disrupt Juventus’ midfield strategies.
In addition to Guendouzi’s midfield presence, Lazio’s attacking trio of Luis Alberto, Felipe Anderson, and Joaquin Correa will be tasked with creating scoring opportunities for Ciro Immobile.
The match against Juventus promises to be a challenging one for Lazio, but Sarri is confident in his team’s ability to perform. Guendouzi’s return and the potential for a new midfield combination could provide Lazio with the edge they need to secure a positive result.
