Marco Baroni Tests New Lazio Signing In Two Roles – Veteran Star Returns From Injury

Arijon Ibrahimovic has already joined his new Lazio teammates in training, as Marco Baroni looks to find him a suitable playing role.

The Background

The 19-year-old signed for the Biancocelesti earlier this week, sealing a loan move with an option to buy from Bayern Munich. The teenager is considered a versatile player capable of featuring in various roles across the final third.

Marco Baroni Testing Arijon Ibrahimovic on the Wings

According to La Lazio Siamo Noi, Baroni tested Ibrahimovic in training on both wings, but mainly on the right flank in his 4-2-3-1 system. This season, Gustav Isaksen and Loum Tchaouna have been the main options for the right-wing role, so it remains to be seen what the manager will have in mind in this regard.

Pedro Returns

Moreover, the same source reveals that Pedro is now ready to return to action after missing the last three fixtures with a hamstring injury. The Spanish veteran will thus receive a call-up for this weekend’s trip to Verona, and the same goes for Ibrahimovic who is raring to go.

Tijjani Noslin Hoping to Recover

On the other hand, Tijjani Noslin is still trying to shake up the ankle problem he sustained in Lecce a few weeks back. While he has been part of the matchday squad in the previous fixtures, Baroni has been reluctant to deploy the Dutchman due to his condition.
