Fulham’s Calvin Bassey is set to miss their crucial clash against Liverpool next Saturday after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season in their 1-1 draw with Arsenal.
The Nigerian defender was booked in the 72nd minute, triggering a one-match suspension. This absence is a significant blow for Fulham, who have relied heavily on Bassey’s defensive prowess throughout the season.
Despite the setback, Bassey’s performance against Arsenal was commendable. He played a vital role in Fulham’s solid defensive display, frustrating the title-chasing Gunners and preventing them from closing the gap on Liverpool.
Marco Silva, Fulham’s manager, will be forced to find a solution to fill the void left by Bassey and Joachim Andersen, who is sidelined with an Achilles tendon injury.
