Lazio Coach Drops Strong Hint Eddy Onazi Will Play First Game Of The Season Against Udinese
Published: September 24, 2014
Speaking at a press conference ahead of the Serie A clash against Udinese on Thursday, Lazio coach Stefano Pioli has dropped a strong hint that Eddy Onazi is in line to play his first game for the club in the ongoing season.
Despite not being 100 percent fit, the central midfielder was patched up for the African Cup of Nations qualifiers with Congo and South Africa.
But at club level, the Nigeria international has only made the substitutes bench on two occasions - against Genoa and Cesena - without tasting action.
“Onazi may also be available almost 100%. He came from the World Cup with an injury and has not played much with us.
“He’s getting in the mechanisms of the team and I think he’s ready to play with his qualities,” said Setafano Pioli.
Eddy Onazi made 29 appearances in the Serie A last term, including 19 starts, while he clocked up 15 appearances in the 2012 - 2013 campaign.
