Two prominent Super Eagles stars are making headlines, with one returning to action and another making a generous contribution off the pitch.
Dele-Bashiru Returns to Lazio Squad
Super Eagles midfielder, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, has been cleared to rejoin Lazio’s Serie A squad. He is now back to full fitness after a period on the sidelines.
The 24-year-old was removed from the club’s roster in September. This followed an injury picked up during the Derby della Capitale against Roma. His absence allowed Elseid Hysaj to be drafted in, covering for the Nigerian international during his recovery.
Dele-Bashiru, formerly of Sheffield Wednesday, has only featured four times in the league this season. However, he is expected to play a role when Lazio visits AC Milan. The crucial match takes place at the San Siro on Saturday.
Osimhen’s Generous Donation for Cancer Treatment
In other news, fellow Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen has received widespread commendation. He recently donated ₦5 million (approximately £4,500) to support a breast cancer patient. The beneficiary is Aunty Esther, a popular online food vendor and social media personality.
Osimhen, currently playing for Galatasaray, intervened after seeing a heartbreaking video. The clip showed Esther Omolola Mensah crying in agony from her hospital bed. She was appealing for help. The video quickly went viral, revealing the severe cancer damage to her chest. It sparked significant concern among her followers.
His donation, made on Wednesday, stands as the largest single contribution so far. Aunty Esther publicly expressed her gratitude, writing: “Thank you, Uncle Victor Osimhen. God bless you abundantly.”
The prolific striker is also dealing with his own injury setback. He missed Galatasaray’s 1-0 Champions League loss to Union Saint-Gilloise on Tuesday. However, Osimhen is expected to return to action soon. He aims to be ready for Galatasaray’s derby clash with Fenerbahçe on December 1.
