“I’m Fine!” — Calvin Bassey Shuts Down Injury Fears Ahead of World Cup Playoffs

Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has assured fans he’s fully fit for Nigeria’s 2026 World Cup playoffs despite picking up a knock in Fulham’s 2-0 loss to Everton on Saturday.

Bassey, who limped briefly during the heated clash, dismissed any injury worries after the game.

“I got a little knock, but I’m fine,” the 25-year-old told SportyTV. “We knew it was going to be a fight — Beto and Barry make it tough, but I’m good to go.”

Nigeria will face Gabon’s Panthers in the World Cup playoff semi-final on Thursday, and Bassey has confirmed he’ll be ready for action.
