Lazio struggles to find replacement for injured captain Zaccagni

Summary

Lazio captain Mattia Zaccagni is sidelined for at least a month due to a muscle injury sustained against Cagliari, creating a challenge for head coach Gennaro Gattuso ahead of their upcoming match against Napoli. Gattuso may switch Tijjani Noslin to Zaccagni's left-wing role and potentially promote Andrea Pinamonti to the starting lineup. Other options being considered include moving Nuno Tavares to a more advanced position or shifting Gustav Isaksen or Matteo Cancellieri across the pitch. The club faces a tough situation with the absence of key players as they prepare to face Napoli.
