Turkish Football Federation (TFF) has announced that Nigerian international Bright Osayi-Samuel is one of three Fenerbahce players who will appear at a disciplinary hearing of the Turkish Football Federation following a bust-up with Trabzonspor fans.
Recall that on March 17, home supporters invaded the pitch at Trabzonspor’s stadium after the final whistle of a Super Lig match that Fenerbahce won 3-2.
The attacks happened after the Fenerbahce players and coaching staff celebrated their victory with goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic punched in the face.
26-year-old Osayi-Samuel punched one of the supporters who invaded the pitch with his face masked, with Dutch defender Jayden Oosterwolde accused of kicking the same supporter.
According to the TFF, a third player will appear before the disciplinary body with two club employees for “fighting.”
Also, a Trabzonspor assistant coach will appear before the disciplinary board.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino condemned the violence and described it as “absolutely unacceptable”.
Thirteen Trabzonspor supporters were arrested with five placed in pre-trial detention in connection with the attack.
