Bassey Returns from Injury Ahead of Fulham’s Anfield Test

Nigerian international centre-back Calvin Bassey has fully recovered from a back injury and is back in contention for selection as Fulham prepare to face Liverpool in a crucial Premier League clash at Anfield this Saturday.
The 26-year-old was forced to withdraw from Nigeria’s squad during the March international break after sustaining the injury, missing the Super Eagles’ friendly matches.
Bassey has now completed his rehabilitation and has been declared fit for the trip to Anfield on April 11, 2026, providing a timely boost to Fulham’s defensive options ahead of the tough encounter against Arne Slot’s side.
The former Ajax and Rangers defender has been a key figure in Marco Silva’s backline this season, and his return is a welcome development for the Cottagers as they aim to strengthen their position in the league standings.
