Super Eagles midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru has returned from his spell on the sidelines to potentially hand a huge boost to Lazio ahead of their big Serie A clash against Torino, Footynaija.com reports.
Dele-Bashiru suffered a twisted ankle in a league game against Venezia back in February. He was sidelined for four games, missing clashes with Inter Milan, AC Milan, Viktoria Plzen and Udinese. The 24-year-old returned for Lazio’s second leg against Plzen but suffered a relapse and returned to the treatment room.
Dele-Bashiru’s injury saw him miss out on a chance to represent Nigeria in the just concluded international break after being named in the provisional squad list. In his absence, Nigeria secured a 2-0 win over Rwanda before playing out a frustrating 1-1 draw with Zimbabwe to leave their World Cup qualification hopes hanging by a thread.
