Dele-Bashiru Set for Lazio Starting Return After Injury

Fisayo Dele-Bashiru is anticipated to make his starting return for Lazio after a five-month hiatus caused by an injury sustained during the Rome derby against Roma. His last appearance was against Atalanta, and he has been sidelined for two months due to this injury.

During his absence, he also participated in the Africa Cup of Nations. Reports indicate that Dele-Bashiru is likely to feature in a three-man midfield alongside Danilo Cataldi.

Lazio's current coach, Maurizio Sarri, is reportedly eager to reintegrate Dele-Bashiru into the squad, especially following his encouraging display against Bologna FC 1909. Today's match against Atalanta is viewed as a vital preparation ahead of a crucial Coppa Italia double-header, with the coaching staff determined to ensure the squad is in peak condition as they pursue success on multiple fronts this season.
