Based on Lazio’s last training session before the trip to Norway, where they tackle Rosenborg in the Europa League, everything indicates that Nigeria international Eddy Onazi will start against the Tippeligaen champions on Thursday night.

And if that is the case, it would be the central midfielder’s 23rd appearance in the Europa League .

With an eye on the Serie A clash against city rivals Roma on Sunday, the Biancocelesti coach, Stefano Pioli, has decided to rest several first team players.

Eddy Onazi has clocked up 352 minutes of game time in the Italian top flight so far this season from the 5 starts that he is credited with.

The 22 - year - old scored against Saint-étienne on game week two in the Europa League.
