Zorhan Bassong - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Exits with discomfort Saturday Bassong was forced to leave the field with a potential fitness problem in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Houston Dynamo.

Impact Bassong limped off towards the final stretch of this game, and it remains a doubt whether he suffered a considerable injury. He has been an active defensive midfielder over the last seven MLS game weeks, so losing him to an injury would be significant news for the squad. Luckily for them, he'll have a couple of weeks to work on his recovery with SKC not playing in the Leagues Cup. If Bassong is ruled out at some point, Manu Garcia and Jacob Bartlett will be in line to absorb any playing time he misses.

Impact Bassong contributed one shot, two tackles (one won) and seven clearances before the cramping issue forced him off late in the contest. The cramping does not appear tied to any underlying injury and is more likely a byproduct of the humid conditions, so he should be available for the team's next fixture against Minnesota on July 22 barring further complications.

Option off bench Saturday Bassong (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Seattle Sounders.

Impact Bassong has been included in the squad after being limited to just 26 minutes off the bench this season due to hamstring problems, with a return to his familiar depth role representing the natural next step in his recovery. The defender had been operating in a rotational capacity before the injury further restricted his involvement, and his return to the bench is in line with the standing he had established within the squad prior to the setback. His reintegration into regular matchday involvement is a welcome development, with the coaching staff expected to manage his minutes carefully as he works his way back to full fitness.

The defender is trending toward a true game-time decision and will have to check every box physically before the staff greenlights him for kickoff.
