Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE Serie A matchcast as Lazio welcome Inter to Stadio Olympico. Team news will follow very shortly!

Lulic heads a great long diagonal ball across goal to Hernanes, whose effort is deflected behind for a corner.

Guarin in pain as his foot is clipped hard by Dias who is on a booking.

Alvarez handballs as Inter try to finally bring the ball forward after a tough few minutes.

It's a good day to be around for live website coverage as Real Madrid and Celta Vigo kick off in La Liga....... right about now.

Corner as a result and it finds Klose... another save from Handanovic!

A long Lazio free-kick forward misses a sea of players and needs a hand from Handanovic to keep it from goal.

Alvarez takes the free-kick and goes for goal.... it's a fair margin over the crossbar.

The hosts are committing numbers forward too late and it allows Inter to burst back forward themselves - Guarin is brought down by Andre Dias who is booked 25 yards from goal. Fredy is furious it wasn't a red but there were other defenders level.

Lazio clear and try to break through Candreva, but Juan Jesus has the superior upper body strength to win out befoe he can get clean through.

Inter corner now, the first of the game.

Palacio drifts to the left for a low delivery in search of Guarin, but perhaps they are indeed more suited to being in the opposite roles of such a move as Lazio easily deal with the attack.

Looks like Konko picked up a strain in an earlier challenge, and dropped to the pitch in the 12th when he realised he could not continue hence the lack of a clear incident.

Yep, Konko is stretchered off and on comes Luis Pedro Cavanda to replace him. We'll bring an update on Konko's situation when we get it as it happened out of vantage point.

Konko is down and hurt. Looks bad.

CHANCE Lazio! Horrific defensive mis-communication from Jonathan and Ranocchia allows Lulic to lob a loose ball over an outrushing Handanovic only for it to bounce the wrong side of the far post.

Juan fires speculatively over from 25. Tepid feeling-out beginning to this one thus far.

This is Lazio's chance to finally get their season up and running as they currently sit in a tight mid-table scenario.

Inter have given the ball away a couple times already when they do have it, but their offside trap is keeping Klose neutralised for the time being.

Calm start here so far, Inter seem happy to just let Lazio show more early fire. It's to be expected at home with a new manager and attacking line-up

Ranocchia leaves a Candreva cross to run which turns out to be smart with no other sky blue shirts around, but it still made for a scary moment.

The hosts get us underway in the first half.
