The 22-year-old has been suspended for two matches after being sent off less than sixteen minutes after his introduction in the 5-3 loss to PSV, so he's not available for selection to face Fortuna Sittard (August 6) and the first home game of the season versus Groningen (August 14).
Przemyslaw Tyton, Dominik Kotarski,, Konstantinos Lamprou,, Diederik Boer, Joël Veltman, Vurnon Anita, Robbert Schilder and Thomas Vermaelen previously wore the number 33 kit at Ajax.
During his time at Ibrox Stadium, Bassey was given the number 3 and was assigned number 21 in the four appearances he made for the Super Eagles this summer.
