Calvin Bassey is set for a Bassey injury return on April 11 after recovering from a back problem.
The Fulham FC defender missed Nigeria’s March international friendlies due to the injury.
Bassey injury return date confirmed
Bassey was initially included in the Super Eagles squad but later withdrew, leading to the call-up of Chibuike Nwaiwu as his replacement.
Despite concerns, reports suggest the injury is not serious and may have been precautionary.
Fulham await key defender’s return
Fulham are expected to welcome Bassey back in time for a crucial Premier League clash.
His likely return match is an away fixture against Liverpool FC at Anfield.
The timing is important as Fulham push for a European qualification spot this season.
Bassey’s importance to Fulham
Bassey has been a key player for Fulham this season.
He has featured in most of their league games and remains one of the team’s most reliable defenders.
The 26-year-old also won Fulham’s Player of the Year award last season, highlighting his impact at the club.
Boost for Nigeria ahead of future matches
The defender’s return is also good news for Nigeria, as he is expected to be available for upcoming international fixtures.
His absence was only limited to the March friendlies, meaning he should be back in contention soon.
