Felipe Anderson is still training separately from his Lazio teammates and could be dropped for the Europa League against Steaua Bucharest.
The Brazilian was dropped for last night’s trip to Napoli as punishment for a bad attitude when coming off the bench in the 2-1 defeat to Genoa.
He had a row with Coach Simone Inzaghi, while director of sport Igli Tare confirmed he and team manager Angelo Peruzzi gave Anderson a stern talking to.

He had a row with Coach Simone Inzaghi, while director of sport Igli Tare confirmed he and team manager Angelo Peruzzi gave Anderson a stern talking to.
“He did not ask to be sold, those reports are not true,” Tare told Mediaset Premium.
“We never even discussed that. The only thing that matters for everyone is that the team is more important than the individual and the rules apply to everyone.
“Felipe Anderson’s quality is beyond debate, but he needs to learn and improve in some fundamental issues for working within a team. He already proved that in the past. We spoke to him on Tuesday for two hours and I hope he understood, because we all love him here.”
Perhaps the message hasn’t come through yet, because Felipe Anderson is still not training with his teammates today.
