Fenerbahce’s defensive ace, Bright Osayi-Samuel, finds himself embroiled in controversy as he risks a staggering 10-game ban following his involvement in the post-match chaos that marred the club’s triumphant away fixture against Trabzonspor last weekend.
The altercation ensued when Osayi-Samuel became entangled in a skirmish with irate home supporters who stormed the field following the conclusion of the Turkish Super Lig encounter.
Sources within Turkey reveal that the Nigerian international could be formally charged with acts of violence by the Turkish Football Federation’s (TFF) Disciplinary Committee.
In a bid to avert punitive measures, the 26-year-old is anticipated to argue a case of self-defense.
The pivotal hearing to address this contentious issue has been slated for Tuesday, April 2.
Amidst these developments, Osayi-Samuel remains committed to his international duties, currently representing Nigeria on the global stage.
The Super Eagles are slated to square off against the Black Stars of Ghana and the Eagles of Mali on March 22 and March 26, respectively, as part of their ongoing campaign.
