Supporters of Fenerbahce have made a graffiti mural for Bright Osayi-Samuel, following his show of courage in their league victory over Trabzonspor on Sunday, March 17, 2024.
Osayi-Samuel took matters into his own hands after the full-time whistle by hitting a fan, who tried to attack him with a knife.
Bright Osayi-Samuel's action, although noble to some Fenerbahce fans, could get the defender into trouble.
Reports indicate that the former Blackpool defender could be slammed with a 10-game ban for what might deemed an assault on the Trabzonspor fan.
Bright's Fenerbahce were victorious on the day, defeating the home side by 3-2, courtesy of a brace from former Manchester United man Fred and ex-Chelsea attacker Mitchy Batshuayi.
Although Bright Osayi-Samuel's action could be seen as the defender defending himself against the masked fan, he possibly might have taken it too far.
Based on a report by Turkey Leo Sports, the 26-year-old is set to be banned for 10 matches due to his altercation, while his teammates will also not be spared their punishments.
The fan “assaulted” by Osayi-Samuel is said to have been taken to intensive care following his clash with the ex-Queens Park Rangers defender.
Bright Osayi-Samuel could also get additional punishments for his actions and he also could face the disciplinary committee of the Turkish Football Federation.
Article 44 of the Turkish football disciplinary rules, indicates that the defender could be banned from football for three months or a year.
Osayi-Samuel joined Fenerbahce from Queens Park Rangers on January 28, 2021, for a fee of €508,000.
Bright Osayi-Samuel has made 30 appearances for the Turkish giants this campaign, scoring 3 goals and providing 4 assists in all competitions.
Osayi-Samuel's act of defending himself and the badge of Fenerbahce has endeared him more to supporters of Yellow Canaries.
However, they will need to keep their fate with him for what the future could be pregnant with - basically the consequences of his actions.
Bright Osayi-Samuel is a versatile player, who can play as a right-back or a right winger.
The 26-year-old has got strength, pace, and ability to cook up magical and exhilarating moments.
Osayi-Samuel was born in Okija, Anambra state, Nigeria, then he relocated with his family to Spain before emigrating to England at the age of 10, settling in Woolwich, London.
Bright Osayi-Samuel has won one notable trophy in his career, the Turkish Cup in the 2022-23 season.
Meanwhile, away from the mural which was built for him and the likely punishment he could receive for his actions at defending himself, Fenerbahce return to action on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, facing Demirspor in a Turkish Super Lig encounter.
Osayi-Samuel will be hoping to provide his quota in helping the club, as they battle for the league crown.
Fenerbahce sit 2nd on the table, with 79 points from 30 matches, 2 points behind league-leaders Galatasaray, who have amassed 81 points from 30 games.
