Lazio have hit a good vein of form, winning their past three matches against Lecce, Bologna, and Juventus in impressive manner.

Italy boss Marcello Lippi was seen at the Formello training ground, watching the Biancocelesti's usual midweek friendly, perhaps doing some scouting for his Azzurri side.

The most likely candidate for a call-up would be midfielder Pasquale Foggia, who has been instrumental in Lazio's recent success. Meanwhile, other possibilities could be young left-back Lorenzo De Silvestri and striker Tommaso Rocchi, who scored against Juventus.

Foggia earned two caps for Italy under coach Roberto Donadoni, while Rocchi was part of La Nazionale's Olympic squad this summer and has also added three senior caps to those appearances in his career. De Silvestri has only appeared at the Under-21 level.

The World Cup winning coach was greeted with applause and spoke to several Lazio players in the company of sporting director Igli Tare and president Claudio Lotito.
