It Was Important Fulham Head Coach Explains Basseys Exclusion From Fa Cup Win Over Watford

Fulham head coach, Marco Silva, has revealed why he opted not to field Super Eagles defender, Calvin Bassey, in his sides 4-1 win over Watford in the FA Cup, .

The 25-year-old has played all but one of Fulhams 20 English Premier League games this season. He missed his sides 2-2 draw against Liverpool due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Basseys Nigerian counterpart, Alex Iwobi, has played every game for the Cottagers this season, and Marco Silva emphasized the need for both Nigerians to rest.

While Bassey didnt feature in Fulhams win over Watford, Iwobi was withdrawn shortly after the hour mark, and the Portuguese gaffer explained why.

Despite news surrounding Fulhams need to reinforce their attack for the second half of the Premier League season, Marco Silva revealed his side will most likely not be involved in the transfer market this month.
