Bassong cleared for Spurs debut

Evening Standard   11 Aug 2009


Sebastien Bassong is set to make his debut for Tottenham against Liverpool on Sunday despite serving only one game of a two-match ban with Newcastle.

Although the defender signed before Newcastle's clash against West Brom on Saturday, he can play in the White Hart Lane game.

Spurs said: "Given he served the first game of his ban against Aston Villa on the final day of the previous campaign as a Newcastle player, it meant the suspension continued to apply to Newcastle games and was therefore satisfied when his former club visited West Brom last week."
