Dele-Bashiru and three other Lazio players ‘to be in contention’ for Monza | OneFootball

Lazio are set for an injury boost before facing Monza in Serie A, with Fisayo Dele-Bashiru among several nearing returns. Gennaro Gattuso has worked with a depleted midfield despite taking 13 points from 15.

Il Corriere dello Sport reports that Matteo Cancellieri should be available when league action resumes this weekend. The 24-year-old winger sustained a leg problem during a short break, missing friendlies with Arezzo and Juve Stabia. He avoided serious damage, so he should be at Gattuso’s disposal when Monza visit on October 11.

Dele-Bashiru featured in the second half of the 3-3 draw with Juve Stabia. His return bolsters midfield options behind Kenneth Taylor, Davide Frattesi and Reda Belahyane.

Adam Marusic has been sidelined since a hamstring issue on the opening day against Bologna. He is tipped to make the squad this weekend, although Romano Floriano Mussolini is expected to start at right-back.

Rovella’s involvement remains uncertain, though he is pushing in training to face his former club. Danilo Cataldi is not expected back before Juventus on October 18, and Albert Gudmundsson faces at least a month out after a shoulder dislocation on international duty.
