Mario Gila
LAZ
Struggles in Inter meeting
Gila (lower leg) had two blocks and 43 passes and drew two fouls in 56 minutes in Saturday's 3-0 defeat versus Inter.
Analysis: Gila got the call in his return from a two-game absence but had trouble containing the opponents like the rest of the Lazio defense and was yanked pretty early. He has contributed to one clean sheet and registered 21 clearances, five blocks and three blocks in his last five appearances. Instead, he halted a four-game streak with at least one tackle in this one.
Starts Saturday
Gila (lower leg) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Inter Milan.
Analysis: Gila was likely to make the squad Saturday and is now starting immediately, as the defender is cleared of his lower-leg injury. This is no surprise as he is a regular defender and should end the season in this role, earning seven clean sheets in 29 appearances (29 starts).
Probable for Inter clash
Gila (lower leg) will most likely be an option and could get the nod versus Inter on Saturday, Tuttomercatoweb reported.
Analysis: Gila has been managed in recent weeks because of multiple injuries, but has logged multiple full training sessions as of late and could supplant Oliver Provstgaard in the back. He has posted at least one tackle in his last four appearances (all starts), accumulating four wins, contributing to one clean sheet and notching 21 clearances, three interceptions and three blocks over that span.
Absent for Cremonese tilt
Gila (lower leg) didn't make Lazio's squad list to face Cremonese on Monday.
Analysis: Gila will continue missing time because of a knock and will be handled carefully ahead of more meaningful matches for Lazio. Oliver Provstgaard will likely continue partnering with Alessio Romagnoli in the back.
Will miss Udinese match
Gila is dealing with a minor injury but won't be risked versus Udinese on Monday, Il Messaggero reported.
Analysis: Gila is nursing a knock on the Achilles and a mild ankle sprain and will be spared in this one. He'll be managed until April 13's Coppa Italia final, as he has often been banged up in recent weeks. Oliver Provstgaard will partner with Alessio Romagnoli in relief.
Subs off in cup game
Gila left Wednesday's Coppa Italia match in the second half "because of a blow to a tendon," coach Maurizio Sarri reported.
Analysis: Gila was limping heavily after a collision and asked to come out. He'll need to be assessed ahead of Monday's home game versus Udinese. He recently returned from a two-game absence caused by multiple minor injuries. Oliver Provstgaard would take his place if needed.
