SCORENigeria understands that coach Eric Chelle is most likely not to risk injured Fisayo Dele-Bashiru for the must-win 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.
On Thursday, the Lazio midfielder failed to make his comeback in a UEFA Europa League Round of 16 first leg tie at Viktoria Plzen of Czech Republic.
He has been nursing an ankle injury he suffered in a Serie A game last month.
“Dele Bashiru is now a major doubt for the World Cup qualifiers because he may not have recovered fully in good time and the coach does not want to take any risks for these must-win matches,” a source simply informed SCORENigeria
