The 25-year-old is, however, expected to return to action when Lazio face Venezia on September 19.
The injury also places Dele-Bashiru’s availability for Nigeria’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau next month in doubt.
The former Sheffield Wednesday star will now focus on his rehabilitation as he looks to make a swift return to action for both club and country.
