[azio head](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/national-team-news/flying-eagles-name-35-man-squad-for-2025-u20-afcon/) coach Marco Baroni has confirmed that Fisayo Dele-Bashiru is close to making his return from an ankle injury, with the midfielder expected to be fit before the international break. +
+
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. +
+
Lazio face a crucial three-game before the international window, starting with their UEFA Europa League tie against Viktoria Plzeň on Thursday, followed by league matches against Udinese and Bologna. If Dele-Bashiru proves his fitness in these games, he is likely to secure his spot in Nigeria’s final squad. +
