Dele-Bashiru absent in Lazio’s victory in the midst of physical aptitude concerns

The Super Eagles midfielder, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, was an unused substitute, since Lazio won a 2-0 victory over Genoa on Wednesday night at the Luigi Ferraris stadium.

The absence of the Nigerian field has generated new concerns about its physical condition and availability for Lazio’s remaining games this season.

DelE-Bashiru, who signed with the Biancocelesti last summer on loan, is still on the road to complete recovery after an ankle injury left him aside during the FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifiers of Nigeria in March.

Since he returned from an injury, the Manchester City Academy graduate has appeared in three A series games, starting in two of them.

However, he was remarkably absent from team training before Genoa’s clash and worked individually on Tuesday after omitting Easter Sunday’s session.

Despite his absence, Lazio did the work in Genoa, thanks to the goals of Valentín Castellanos in the first half and Boulaye day after the break.

The victory ended a three -game streak without victories for the team based in Rome and provided a timely boost in its impulse for the European qualification.

Lazio also showed resilience after being reduced to ten men when the Reda Belahyne substitute received a red card. However, they clung to maintain a clean sheet and bag the three points.

The victory raises the Lazio level at points with the fifth place Juventus (59), intensifying the battle for a place in the UEFA Champions League. With just a handful of games in the campaign, each point and each player import.

As the season enters its decisive phase, Dele-Bashiru will be anxious to return to full aptitude and play a key role in Lazio’s encounter.

Club fans will wait for the talented midfielder to remain healthy and make significant contributions in the final stretch of the season.
