Lazio midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru is a doubt for the upcoming Serie A match against Fiorentina after missing training sessions due to muscle fatigue. Head coach Maurizio Sarri, who has maintained a consistent lineup during Lazio's four-match unbeaten run, faces a selection dilemma if Dele-Bashiru is unable to start. While reports suggest he might recover in time for the squad, his fitness to start alongside Danilo Cataldi and Kenneth Taylor is uncertain. The potential absence could disrupt Sarri's preference for continuity in the starting lineup. Toma Basic's return from injury offers some relief, but he is unlikely to start given his long absence. Dele-Bashiru, who joined Lazio in 2024 for €7m, has had a mixed season, finding consistent form only in the second half. Despite transfer speculation in January, Lazio retained him, though his future could be re-evaluated at the season's end if English clubs renew interest.
