The Biancocelesti are struggling with huge problems, as there are 10 players in the packed treatment room after Thursday’s 1-0 Europa League defeat to Sevilla.
Immobile missed that game, but grits his teeth and pushes through to start alongside Joaquin Correa.
Out of action are Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Marco Parolo, Luis Alberto, Bastos, Wallace, Jordan Lukaku, Luiz Felipe, Riza Durmisi and Valon Berisha.
Lucas Leiva is in the squad, but nowhere near fully fit either, so Milan Badelj and Danilo Cataldi get rare starts in midfield.
So does Romulo, who makes his full Lazio debut facing the club he left in January.
Genoa have some absentees too, as Stefano Sturaro, Andrea Favilli, Luca Mazzitelli, Gianluca Lapadula and Oscar Hiljemark miss out.
Sanabria has been on sparkling form since joining to replace Krzysztof Piatek and he is again supported by Christian Kouame.
Cristian Romero returns from suspension to bolster the defence.
