Much ado about nothing: Super Eagles midfielder Dele-Bashiru declares himself fit to face Rwanda
Published: November 17, 2024
Allnigeriasoccer.com can report with certainty that Fisayo Dele-Bashiru has declared himself fit to face Rwanda in a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.
There had been concerns about the availability of the Manchester City academy graduate for the dead rubber matchday six fixture after he sat out the Super Eagles' 1-1 draw against Benin's Cheetahs three days ago.
It is true that he suffered a knock a few days before the encounter with the Republic of Benin, but he has overcome his fitness issues and trained without limitations on Saturday evening.
As of last night, Dele-Bashiru affirmed that he had no fitness issues, putting him in contention to make his sixth international appearance for the Super Eagles on Monday, November 18.
The Lazio midfielder has fond memories of the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, where he scored his first international goal.
Since his home debut, no player has scored more goals at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium than the Lazio star, an honour he shares with fellow Italian-based player, Ademola Lookman.
Goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali and fullback Ola Aina are unavailable for selection against the Wasps, while Ademola Lookman missed Saturday's training session due to fitness concerns.
