Super Eagles midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru was involved in a car accident on Saturday evening near Bracciano, Italy.
According to reports from SoccerNet, Dele-Bashiru, who currently plays for Serie A club Lazio, escaped the accident without any physical injuries, which is certainly a relief to his fans and teammates.
The accident occurred just two days before Lazio faced off against Inter Milan, a match that ended in a disappointing 6-0 defeat for the Biancocelesti.
Dele-Bashiru was reportedly driving his luxurious Lamborghini through a busy traffic area when the accident occurred.
The collision resulted in significant damage to the vehicle, but fortunately, the prompt response from local authorities ensured that thorough investigations were conducted at the scene.
In the immediate aftermath, Dele-Bashiru reached out to his Dutch teammate Noslin, who quickly arrived to assist him. Noslin provided transportation for Dele-Bashiru, ensuring he made it safely back home after the unsettling experience.
Despite the frightening situation he faced, Dele-Bashiru showed remarkable resilience by returning to training on Sunday morning, only a day after the accident. His determination to stay focused on his professional commitments was evident as he was named on the bench for the match against Inter Milan that followed.
During the match, Dele-Bashiru made his entry onto the pitch in the 57th minute, taking the place of Spanish winger Pedro.
Initially, news of the accident was kept largely under wraps, but it quickly gained traction on social media platforms after it was reported by the Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, as reported by Radiosei.
