Nigeria international Fisayo Dele-Bashiru has been ruled out of action after Lazio confirmed he sustained a lesion to the femoral bicep in his right leg.
The 23-year-old midfielder picked up the injury during Sunday’s fiery Derby della Capitale clash against Roma, which Lazio lost 1-0. He was forced off in the first half, leaving coach Igor Tudor to reshuffle his side in the high-stakes encounter.
A statement from the club’s medical staff on Wednesday, confirmed the diagnosis but did not specify the severity of the lesion or how long Dele-Bashiru will be sidelined.
The setback comes at a crucial time for the former Sheffield Wednesday man, who has been steadily growing into his role since joining Lazio last summer. His energy and ball-carrying ability have made him an important option in midfield, and his absence will be felt as the Aquile battle for consistency in Serie A
