There’s good news for Lazio as Argentine striker Valentin Castellanos has returned to the Biancocelesti squad for a Serie A match against Milan.

Lazio striker Castellanos has been included in the travelling squad for Saturday’s Serie A match against Milan at San Siro.

The Argentine forward had missed the last six league games due to a hamstring injury.

The 27-year-old has scored twice and provided three assists in six Serie A appearances this season.

According to Sky Sport, however, Castellanos is still not fit to start against the Rossoneri, so Boulaye Dia will once again get the nod up front for the Biancocelesti.

Samuel Gigot, Matteo Cancellieri, Nicolò Rovella, Danilo Cataldi and Elseid Hysaj remain out of action for Lazio.

Sky adds that Matias Vecino will start in central midfield tomorrow alongside Mateo Guendouzi and Toma Basic, while Nuno Tavares and Luca Pellegrini compete for a starting spot in the left-back position.

Milan, on the other hand, will be without Santiago Gimenez and, most likely, Christian Pulisic.

Lazio have won three of their previous five games in Serie A, while Milan are unbeaten in 11 matches.
