The manager of the Dutch Eredivisie champions Ajax Amsterdam Alfred Schreuder has allayed fears about the injury of Nigeria's Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey, BSNSports.com.ng understands.

The utility defender was in action on Saturday in the Dutch league against Heerenveen and played a key role in the 5-0 victory.

He was replaced in the 84th minute after he sustained an injury and Ajax completed the game with a man down.

As they continue their preparations for this week's UEFA Champions League game against English Premier League giant Liverpool, the coach said Bassey should be ready for the game.

" His ( Bassey) injury is not that bad and he is not a problem for Tuesday," he said.

Ajax defeated Rangers of Scotland 4-0 on Matchday one and will be willing to continue the impressive run when they meet Liverpool at Anfield on Matchday 2.
