Lazio are currently short in the back, but they will be looking for a boost with Samuel Gigot and Patric returning to the fold.

On the summer transfer deadline day, the Frenchman agreed to join the Biancocelesti on loan from Olympique Marseille. He has yet to make a single appearance for the club.

Gigot, 30, was already physically behind when he arrived after being left out of Roberto De Zerbi’s pre-season preparations; he then suffered a shoulder injury, which pushed his debut even further back.

Lazio Defenders Gigot and Patric Push for Comebacks

According to La Lazio Siamo Noi, the defender has recovered from the injury and is focusing on his physical condition. According to the source, Lazio coach Marco Baroni will evaluate his fitness before choosing whether to call him up for Thursday’s Europa League match against OGC Nice.

Patric had muscular fatigue during last week’s triumph over Dynamo Kyiv in Hamburg. The Spaniard was fit enough to join the squad for the Serie A match against Torino last Saturday, but he stayed on the bench for the whole match.

As a result, it remains to be seen if Baroni will be ready to reinstate the 31-year-old in the starting lineup for the forthcoming European match, or whether he will take no chances and keep Alessio Romagnoli and Mario Gila at the heart of the backline.
