Lazio have confirmed that Nigerian midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru has returned to individual training. This marks a significant step in his recovery from a hamstring injury sustained in September.
The 24-year-old, who joined permanently from Turkish side Hatayspor this summer, missed Lazio’s last three Serie A matches. His rehabilitation progress offers optimism for both club and country during a busy fixture period.
Medical assessments conducted by Professor Ivo Pulcini, Professor Fabio Rodia, and club doctor Italo Leo confirmed Dele-Bashiru’s positive trajectory. The club statement noted: “Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Nicolò Rovella and Valentin Castellanos carried out specific differentiated work.”
Lazio’s medical team reports steady progress in the midfielder’s rehabilitation. While some teammates continue water therapy, Dele-Bashiru has advanced to on-pitch exercises. This indicates his imminent return to full fitness.
The development comes as welcome news for manager Maurizio Sarri. Lazio’s inconsistent Serie A campaign has them positioned mid-table. Dele-Bashiru’s dynamic box-to-box presence could provide vital midfield stability.
Italian reports suggest Sunday’s Juventus clash arrives too soon for the Super Eagle. However, an early November return appears likely. Potential comeback matches include the Coppa Italia tie against Pisa or the league fixture versus Cagliari.
Before his injury, the midfielder made four promising Serie A appearances. His return also benefits Nigeria coach Eric Chelle. The midfielder features prominently in plans for upcoming international competitions.
