Osayi-Samuel, Super Eagles Defender, Facing 10-Match Ban

Fenerbahce defender, Bright Osayi-Samuel, is facing a 10-match ban over the violence that erupted after their 3-2 win at Trabzonspor last weekend.

Osayi-Samuel found himself involved in a vicious brawl with the home supporters who flooded the pitch at the end of the game.

The versatile defender was praised for his action by Fenerbahce fans.

But according to reports in Turkey, the Nigeria international could be charged for misconduct for his role in the incident.

The 26-year-old is expected to plead self-defense to avoid punishment.

The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) Disciplinary Committee has fixed Tuesday, April 2 for hearing on the issue.

Fenerbahce are second in the league standings, two points behind leaders and city rivals Galatasaray.
