Super Eagles stars, Wilfred Ndidi and Calvin Bassey are currently facing the possibility of suspension in the Premier League due to accumulating yellow cards.
According to the Premier League regulations, a player must serve a one-match ban upon receiving their fifth booking of the season. Both Wilfred Ndidi and Calvin Bassey have received four yellow cards each so far, meaning that a single additional booking would lead to an automatic suspension.
In a crucial Premier League match today, December 3, Leicester City will be hosting West Ham United at their home ground, the King Power Stadium. This match marks a significant moment as it is the first game for Leicester City’s new manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy, who will be looking to make an immediate impact with the Foxes.
Looking ahead, Fulham will also be in action later this week, welcoming Brighton & Hove Albion to Craven Cottage on Thursday night.
Meanwhile, Nigerian forward David Okereke had a noteworthy performance despite his team’s defeat. He scored for Gaziantep during their 3-1 loss against Fenerbahce on Monday night.
Okereke’s goal came just four minutes before halftime, levelling the score at that moment. He displayed impressive skill by deftly chipping the ball over the advancing Fenerbahce goalkeeper before firing it into the net from inside the box. This goal marked Okereke’s third for the season with Gaziantep.
The match saw Fenerbahce rally in the second half, with Rodrigo Becao and Edin Dzeko finding the back of the net with two late goals, sealing the victory for their team.
