Fenerbahce defender Bright Osayi-Samuel is potentially facing a suspension of up to 10 games following his involvement in the post-match violence that occurred after the club’s away victory against Trabzonspor last weekend.
Osayi-Samuel found himself in a scuffle with some home fans who encroached onto the pitch following the Turkish Super Lig encounter. Reports from Turkey suggest that the Nigerian international could be charged with violent conduct by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) Disciplinary Committee.
The 26-year-old is reportedly planning to argue self-defense to mitigate any potential punishment. The hearing for the case is scheduled for Tuesday, April 2.
