After shining and making the official team of the 2025 AFCON in Morocco, Calvin Bassey has been reinstated for tonight’s Premier League clash at title-chasing Manchester City.

Bassey last started for the London club on December 13, when Fulham won 3-2, and thereafter left on international duty.

On return from the AFCON, the central defender was suspended for the 1-0 loss at Leeds on account of accumulation of bookings.

He was an unused sub for the next game against Brighton, which Fulham won 2-1, and then played the last five minutes in a 3-2 loss at Manchester United.

He was also on the bench Saturday, when Fulham fell 2-1 at home to Everton.

Published

Like it was last year, the Super Eagles again did not get paid for their efforts in a commendable comeback-draw with Russia.

Russia splashed out $1.2 million in June 2025 to get Nigeria play against them in a first-ever meeting at full international level.

The match ended in a 1-1 draw with striker Tolu Arokodare scoring the equaliser for the Super Eagles.

This week, the Eagles, parading a makeshift team made up of as many as nine debutants, fought back to draw 3-3 with home team Russia.

It was understood that the NFF received $600,000 to honour this friendly.

The team did not receive even an appearance fee.
