Calvin Bassey - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Season high shots in clean sheet Bassey recorded three shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Brentford.

Impact Bassey posed a threat going forward, particularly from set pieces, where he registered a season-high three shots, though he was unable to build on his solitary league goal of the campaign. At the back, the center-half delivered a quieter display in the clean sheet, finishing with just one tackle and one clearance. He has now amassed 10 clearances and 14 tackles across his last five starts, recording at least one tackle in each outing while also contributing to two clean sheets.

Fit to face Liverpool Bassey (back) is fit to face Liverpool on Saturday, according to manager Marco Silva.

Impact Bassey suffered a back injury while on international duty with Nigeria, but Silva confirmed the center-back will be available to face the Reds this weekend. Bassey has been a regular presence at the back for Fulham this season with 21 starts out of 23 EPL appearances, and if he's fit, he should return to the starting XI right away.

Suffers back injury Bassey (back) has withdrawn from the Nigerian national team squad for the upcoming friendlies against Iran and Jordan due to an injury, according to NGSuper Eagles.

Impact Bassey's sudden withdrawal from international duty is a concern for Fulham, with the April. 11 clash against Liverpool coming up quickly after the break. The severity of the issue is still unclear, but if it keeps him sidelined, Jorge Cuenca would be in line to step into the starting role in central defense for the Cottagers.

Two shots Sunday Bassey registered two shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 66th minute.

Impact Bassey tied a season high with two shots Sunday, though he failed to put either on target. He played well on the defensive end too, recording three blocked shots, three clearances and one interception as the team held Spurs to just one shot on target. He played the full 90 minutes in his third consecutive match.
