The Super Eagles midfielder, who has missed Lazio’s last two matches, has still been included in Eric Chelle’s 39-man provisional squad for Nigeria’s upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.](https://www.yohaig.ng/recommends/1xbet/)[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)
<br>Lazio face a crucial three-game stretch before the international window, starting with their UEFA Europa League tie against Viktoria Plzeň on Thursday, followed by league matches against [Udinese](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/womens-football/nwfl-super-six-bayelsa-queens-beat-rivers-angels-in-fierce-derby/) and Bologna. If Dele-Bashiru proves his fitness in these games, he is likely to secure his spot in Nigeria’s final squad.
<br>
<br>Baroni stated in his pre-match press conference that both Castellanos and Dele-Bashiru could return before the break, while Elseid Hysaj will remain sidelined until after the break.
<br>
<br>So far this season, the versatile midfielder has made 23 [appearances](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/international-nigerian-footballers/) across all competitions, [scoring](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/news/transfer-news/) five goals and providing two assists for Lazio.

<br>Editorial
<br>
<br>Dele-Bashiru’s recovery is a huge boost for both Lazio and the Super Eagles. His box-to-box presence and creativity make him a valuable option in Eric Chelle’s midfield setup. With Wilfred Ndidi struggling with fitness issues, having a fully fit Dele-Bashiru could be crucial for Nigeria’s World [Cup qualifiers](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/match-previews-and-reviews/).
<br>
<br>For Lazio, his return comes at a perfect time as they prepare for a must-win Europa League tie and attempt to climb the Serie A table. If he performs well, it could [solidify](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/national-team-news/awoniyi-unbothered-by-osimhen-boniface-competition-as-afcon-nears/) his role in the squad and increase his chances of becoming a key figure for the Super Eagles moving .

<br>The big question now is: Will Chelle trust him in Nigeria’s starting lineup? If Dele-Bashiru proves his fitness and form in the coming weeks, he could be one of the game-changers for Nigeria in their World Cup qualification campaign.
