Guerini, who had turned 19 just last weekend, began his career with Lazio before leaving the club in 2016.

But having impressed with Italy’s Under-15s and Under-16s, he returned in January this year and was considered amongst the club’s brightest prospects.

Meanwhile, Lazio will be facing Specia in their next Serie A game on April 3 as they continue their fight in efforts to finish among the top 4 this season.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Juventus registered a 3-1 win over Lazio in the Serie A on Saturday night, March 6, in what will remain as one of the classic topflight matches in Italy.

It was Lazio who started the game on a high as they began to ask questions in the early stages before they were rewarded with the opening goal in the 15th minute.

Dejan Kulusevski was pressured into trying to pass back to Merih Demiral, only for Joaquin Correa to intercept the ball, run at the defender before turning and shooting through the Turkish international’s legs.

The Old Lady who were without Ronaldo from the start then raised their game and they eventually restored parity in the 39th minute through Adrien Rabiot.

Second-half of the fixture started on a high as both teams took it to each other before Federico Chiesa capitalised on a counter-attack and run almost the entire length of the pitch to play in Alvaro Morata, whose left footed effort was blasted past the keeper.
