Good News! Immobile And Luis Alberto Will Be Available When Lazio Take On Inter In The Super Coppa Italiana Semi-Finals

In the first edition of the expanded Supercoppa Italiana, Lazio and Inter Milan will go head-to-head. Mark your calendars for January 19th when these two teams will face off at the Al-Awwal Stadium in Saudi Arabia. The winner of this clash will earn a spot in the final, where they will compete against the winner of the other semi-final match between Napoli and Fiorentina.

Il Messaggero reports that there is good news for Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri, as two key players are making significant progress in their recovery. According to the source, Immobile and Luis Alberto are both on track to return earlier than expected. This means that they will likely be ready to contribute to the team in time for the Super Cup, providing the coach with more options and depth in his squad.

Despite not having his most productive season, the Italian forward continues to play a leading role for the team. The captain of Lazio has scored four goals in Serie A and three in the Champions League so far this year. Unfortunately, the 33-year-old was unable to participate in the team's last match due to a hamstring injury. However, recent examinations have reduced the expected time for his recovery by half. According to the article, Immobile might make his Coppa Italia quarter-final return against AS Roma in the Derby della Capitale next weekend.

Furthermore, the source believes Luis Alberto performed even better. In addition to exercising with the ball, the Spanish playmaker has been able to run in practice. The pair will go through additional testing next week before confirming their availability.
