Lazio coach Marco Baroni could make a tactical switch for the clash against Inter to fit in Fisayo Dele-Bashiru who has been delivering the goods as of late.

A Star on the Rise

The Nigerian midfielder had a relatively slow start to life at Formello after making the summer switch from Hatayspor. Nevertheless, he has risen to the plate as of late when the team required his services. He started the last three contests against Napoli in Coppa Italia and then three days later in Serie A, and the most recent one against Ajax in Amsterdam. The young player produced formidable displays on all three occasions which all ended in victories for the Biancocelesti.

Marco Baroni Could Add Fisayo Dele-Bashiru to the Midfield Unit

So according to La Lazio Siamo Noi, Nicolo Rovella and Matteo Guendouzi will resume their partnership in the middle of the park when Lazio host Inter on Monday, but Baroni could also decide to confirm Dele-Bashiru in the lineup, effectively changing the tactical formation from 4-2-3-1 to 4-3-3.

Boulaye Dia’s Spot Hanging in the Balance

In this case, Boulaye Dia would be dropped. The Senegalese has recently made his return to action following a swift stop, but he hasn’t been at his best in his last couple of appearances. Baroni only gave him 45 minutes against Ajax before replacing him with Mattia Zaccagni. The club captain will certainly return to the lineup along with Gustav Isaksen on the wings, while Tijjani Noslin should lead the line with Taty Castellanos serving a ban.
