Nigerian defender Calvin Bassey has received encouraging news from the Fulham medical team following his recent injury setback, which forced him to miss Nigeria’s clash against Ghana.
The 27-year-old, who was sidelined due to injury, was unable to participate in the Super Eagles’ triumph over the Black Stars.
However, upon his return from Morocco, where he had traveled with the national team ahead of their friendly against Mali, Bassey underwent medical evaluations, which indicated that his injury was not as severe as initially feared.
Reports from Standard UK suggest that Bassey is expected to make a swift recovery and could be available for selection to bolster Fulham’s squad for their upcoming match against Sheffield United on Saturday.
Although the former Ajax player may initially feature in a substitute capacity, his potential return to action is a positive development for Fulham as they prepare for their visit to Bramall Lane.
Having secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Tottenham in their last outing before the international break, Bassey’s potential availability adds further depth to Fulham’s defensive options and boosts their chances of maintaining their winning momentum in the upcoming fixtures.
As Bassey continues his rehabilitation process and works towards full fitness, Fulham fans will be eagerly anticipating his return to the pitch, hopeful that his presence will further strengthen the team’s defensive solidity and contribute to their pursuit of success in the ongoing campaign.
