In a crucial update for Fulham, it has been revealed that Calvin Bassey’s injury is not as severe as initially feared, providing a significant boost for Marco Silva’s side ahead of their upcoming match against Sheffield United.
The versatile 24-year-old Nigerian defender sustained the injury while on international duty with the Super Eagles during their matches against Ghana and Mali. Despite being unable to feature in those games, Bassey’s injury has been assessed as less serious than anticipated.
Reports indicate that Bassey should be able to complete his recovery in time to rejoin Fulham for their fixture against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. This news comes as a relief for Silva, whose side is currently positioned 12th in the Premier League standings.
Bassey’s absence was notable in the Super Eagles’ recent match against Mali, raising questions about the team’s performance without him. However, with his potential return on the horizon, Fulham fans can anticipate a strengthened defensive lineup for the crucial remaining fixtures of the season.
With only nine league games left, Fulham will be aiming to secure valuable points to potentially clinch a spot in the UEFA Europa Conference League. The outcome of Bassey’s recovery could have significant implications for the team’s aspirations as they approach the business end of the campaign.
