Lazio star Nicolo Rovella beat in the Europa League with two games banned

Lazio fully grown when Nicolo Rovella reports reported a two-game ban in the UEFA Europa League.

The background

The Italian national player received his marching commands in the first leg of the 16th round against Viktoria Plzen after accidentally kicking Pavel Sulc in his head with an elevated suitcase. The match officer initially gave him a yellow card, but was called for a review on the field by the Var, which led to a quick change in his decision.

Surreal scenario

Rovella then followed by Samuel Gigot, who was also sent to Cadu for a late two-foot failure. Although the Club of Serie A was reduced to nine men, he somehow managed to find one last winner through Gustav Isaksen and to go in hand with a significant advantage towards the second leg in Rome.

Nicolo Rovella had the ban on Europa League with two games

According to Il Corriere Dello Sport (via La Lazio Siamo Noi), Rovellas Red Card could return to follow the Aquile, even if you manage to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Europa League because the UEFA has decided that Rovella's dangerous challenge is worthy of two-game ban.

In addition to the second leg on Thursday against Viktoria Plzen, the midfielder would also skip the first stage of the quarters if Lazio was progressing.

Will Lazio fight without Nicolo Rovella?

This is a crucial blow for Marco Baroni's men if you take into account the meaning of the player for the game system. For example, the Bianconcelesti could not find its rhythm on the 1-1 draw against Udinese, while Rovella was traveling with a slight muscle problem.

Samuel Gigot is banned from playing

As far as Gigot is concerned, it will only serve a one-match suspension, so that it is available for both clashes of the quarter-finals. Lazio would probably play Bodo/Glimt, who won the first leg over Olympiacos with three unanswered goals.
