Lazio manager Edoardo Reja has handed a start to Senad Lulic for this afternoon's Serie A meeting with Cagliari.

The Bosnian winger comes in for Antonio Candreva, who is suspended for the visitors after being sent off during last weekend's defeat against Atalanta BC.

Lulic completes a front three of Miroslav Klose and Keita Balde, while Cristian Ledesma returns to the midfield.

Caglari name Víctor Ibarbo in their starting lineup, with forward Marco Sau left on the bench.

Nene, Dario Del Fabro and Andrea Cossu all return to the team, but the hosts are without the suspended pair of Davide Astori and Danilo Avelar.

Cagliari: Avramov, Dessena, Rossettini, Del Fabro, Pisano, Ekdal, Conti, Vecino, Cossu, Nene, Ibarbo

Lazio: Marchetti, Konko, Biava, Novaretti, Radu, Gonzalez, Ledesma, Biglia, Keita, Klose, Lulic
