Fit to face Liverpool
Bassey (back) is fit to face Liverpool on Saturday, according to manager Marco Silva.
Analysis: Bassey suffered a back injury while on international duty with Nigeria, but Silva confirmed the center-back will be available to face the Reds this weekend. Bassey has been a regular presence at the back for Fulham this season with 21 starts out of 23 EPL appearances, and if he's fit, he should return to the starting XI right away.
Suffers back injury
Bassey (back) has withdrawn from the Nigerian national team squad for the upcoming friendlies against Iran and Jordan due to an injury, according to NGSuper Eagles.
Analysis: Bassey's sudden withdrawal from international duty is a concern for Fulham, with the April. 11 clash against Liverpool coming up quickly after the break. The severity of the issue is still unclear, but if it keeps him sidelined, Jorge Cuenca would be in line to step into the starting role in central defense for the Cottagers.
