Fulham Defender Calvin Bassey Recovers from Back Injury, Set to Face Liverpool

By Sampson Adedeji 

 Nigerian international centre-back Calvin Bassey has fully recovered from a back problem and is available for selection as Fulham prepare to take on Liverpool in a crucial Premier League clash at Anfield this Saturday, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The 26-year-old defender was forced to withdraw from Nigeria’s squad during the March international break after picking up the injury, missing friendlies for the Super Eagles.

Bassey has since completed his rehabilitation and has been passed fit for the trip to Anfield on April 11, 2026, boosting Fulham’s defensive options for the challenging away fixture against Arne Slot’s side.

The former Ajax and Rangers player has been a key figure in Marco Silva’s backline this season, and his timely return comes as welcome news for the Cottagers, who will be looking to secure points in their push for a strong league finish.
