Lazio will be desperate for a home win against Atalanta in Serie A today following a run a three successive defeats.
The hosts, who have lost three of their last four games to Atalanta, will be without Lorik Cana due to a back injury, while Stefano Mauri and Libor Kozak have been ruled out with thigh problems.
On a more positive note, Federico Marchetti should make his comeback today, the Italy international is expected to replace the suspended Albano Bizzarri in the Lazio goal. Brazilian international Hernanes should also return to the starting line up.
The Nerazzurri head to Rome without the services of Matteo Brighi, who is out with a muscle tear. Defender Daniele Capelli is absent due to cruciate ligament damage.
Interestingly, Atalanta have lost just two of their away league games this season.
