Lazio release fitness update on Dele-Bashiru

Lazio have confirmed Nigerian midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru picked up a lesion to the femoral bicep in his right leg during their Serie A defeat to AS Roma.

The 24-year-old was forced off early in the derby, which ended 1-0 in Roma’s favour. In a statement, the club did not reveal the grade of the injury or provide a timeline for his recovery, but disclosed that Dele-Bashiru has already begun rehabilitation and will undergo conservative treatment.

The midfielder has featured in four league games for Maurizio Sarri’s side this season. However, the setback has cast doubt on his availability for Nigeria’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Benin Republic next month.

Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, is expected to announce his squad for the fixtures next week.
