Lazio midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru is sidelined with a right thigh injury after picking it up during the club’s Serie A match against Bologna. The Punch reports that he suffers a first- or second-degree tear and is expected to miss at least three weeks. Daily Post Nigeria also says he is ruled out following the injury, with his absence estimated at around 15 to 20 days.
Both outlets tie the injury to the same game, which Lazio play at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara on August 24, where the match ends 1-0. Daily Post Nigeria adds that Dele-Bashiru is replaced by Davide Frattesi in the 54th minute. While the reports agree he will miss multiple weeks of action, they differ slightly on the expected timeline, with Punch giving “at least three weeks” and Daily Post Nigeria citing a shorter day range.
