New Lazio coach Edy Reja has reinstalled Cristian Ledesma to his squad for today's clash with Parma.

It will be Ledesma's first appearance of the season after a contract dispute.

Reja said: "You all know what an important player Ledesma is. If I am to get him back, it's better that he plays from the start. He's in good shape, obviously it will take a little time for him to find match fitness."

Instead the Coach hints that Mauro Zarate could be left on the bench after stuttering performances.

"He has extraordinary potential, just as Sergio Floccari, Tommaso Rocchi, Stephen Makinwa and Simone Inzaghi are perfectly valid strikers.

"I must take into consideration all the players at my disposal and the balance of the squad. I cannot give any favouritism to particular players.

"The squad as a whole needs to rediscover its self-confidence and belief in its abilities. During a game they can't seem to find that motivation, so my job is to get inside their heads."
