Ajax Boss Gives Update On Injured Bassey

Ajax Boss Gives Update On Injured Bassey

Ajax head coach Alfred Schreuder has played down the injury suffered by Calvin Bassey in the closing stages of the Eredivisie champions’ 5-0 thrashing of SC Heerenveen on Saturday.

After putting in a good shift Bassey was taken off with six minutes left due to a knock.

There were fears he could miss Tuesday’s Champions League trip to Anfield against Liverpool.

But Schreuder, in an interview with ESPN, said it is just a minor calf-related injury.

“We were able to switch well. Maybe we switch the last player a little too early, but I thought we could do that.

“Fortunately, Calvin Bassey is not so bad. It was a kick in the calf, so that’s not too bad.”

When quizzed further about the injury Schreuder added:”He (Bassey) said it’s no problem.”

Since making his league debut for Ajax the Dutch giants are unbeaten after six games.

      Akapa, you like to overhype Nigerian players. Zaidu Sanusi is just average.

      • An average player can not play for FC Porto let alone tying down a steady starting shirt there….. Take this to the bank.
