Edoardo Motta
LAZ
Unavailable against Pisa
Motta (thigh) hasn't been selected for Saturday's game versus Pisa.
Analysis: Motta has avoided serious thigh injuries but will miss the second game in a row because of an ailment. Third-stringer Alessio Furlanetto will replace him again between the sticks. He has been serviceable since being promoted, securing three clean sheets, giving up 10 goals and making 23 saves in nine stats. He'll compete for the starting job with Ivan Provedel (shoulder) and Christos Mandas in the summer.
Absent for derby with Roma
Motta will miss Sunday's clash with Roma due to a late injury, Tuttomercatoweb reported.
Analysis: Motta suffered an undisclosed injury in training and is set for tests to determine whether he could return next week. Alessio Furlanetto is expected to start over fellow youngsters Giacomo Giacomone and Nicolo Pannozzo in relief.
Two saves in loss
Motta registered two saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Inter Milan.
Analysis: Motta made two saves in Saturday's 3-0 home defeat to the newly crowned Serie A champions, beaten by Lautaro Martinez and Petar Sucic in the first half before Henrikh Mkhitaryan added a late third. The young Italian goalkeeper faced a significant challenge in the first half as his side's backline struggled to contain his opponents' runs in behind, and was further exposed when Alessio Romagnoli was sent off in the second half, leaving ten men to defend. Motta has made 23 saves, conceded 10 goals and recorded three clean sheets in nine Serie A appearances this season. He will look to bounce back in the next league match against AS Roma.
Allows one goal in Cremonese game
Motta registered four saves and gave up one goal in Monday's 2-1 victory against Cremonese.
Analysis: Motta was surprised by a pretty routine shot, failing to coordinate properly to stop it, but he bounced back with some nice saves in the second half. He has kept one clean sheet in the last five matches, giving up six goals and making 12 saves. Up next, Lazio will host Inter on Saturday.
Avoids late letdown
Motta made four saves and allowed three goals in Monday's 3-3 draw versus Udinese.
Analysis: Motta probably though he cost Lazio a point late in stoppage time but a teammate was able to equalize to salvage that for the goalkeeper. He should see less shots against Cremonese, a team which has only scored 26 goals in 34 Serie A games.
