Fisayo Dele-Bashiru is facing an uncertain future at Serie A club, Lazio due to his imminent participation at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Dele-Bashiru is yet to make an appearance for La Biancloesti since sustaining a hamstring injury in the Rome derby with AS Roma in September.
The midfielder was excluded from Lazio’s squad due to the injury.
The 24-year-old is fully fit again, and is expected to be reinstated to the squad with Nicolo Rovella sidelined for a prolonged period.
Football Italia, however, reported that Lazio’s hesitation to reintegrate Dele-Bashiru stems partly from his imminent departure for AFCON, noting that altering the squad list could create confusion.
The report suggested that a final decision regarding his Serie A involvement would be taken after the tournament.
The former Sheffield Wednesday star has also been linked with a January exit from the club.
