Calvin Bassey is a major doubt for the Super Eagles’ friendly encounter with Saudi Arabia next month.
Fulham’s manager Marco Silva told the media after the game that Bassey had previously been dealing with a back injury and would need to be monitored closely by the club’s medical team ahead of their West London derby against Chelsea.
While the Cottagers are yet to make any official statement as regards the player’s fitness, there has been growing concerns that the 25-year-old could be out for two weeks, making him a serious doubt for the Eagles game.
Should Bassey miss the Eagles game, he will add to the growing list of injured players as Jose Peseiro is already without Porto’s Zaidu Sanusi.
