Lazio midfielder, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru is set for a spell on the sidelines after sustaining an ankle injury in the club’s 0-0 draw with Venezia on Saturday.

Dele-Bashiru sprained his ankle following a clash with Alessio Zerbin towards the end of the first half.

The Nigeria international was helped off the pitch by two members of Lazio’s medical staff.

New signing Rade Belahyane took his place in the 41st minute.

Lazio manager Marco Baroni provided an update on the injury after the game.

“We have to verify his (Dele-Bashiru) condition. He felt pain when he took that shot. Playing every two or three days, it’s going to be difficult to get him recovered for the next match,” Baroni told DAZN.
