Super Eagles player Bright Osayi-Samuel will not face sanctions over his clash with Trabzonspor fans last month.
Osayi-Samuel and two of his teammates at Fenerbache were involved in a fight with Trabzonspor fans who invaded the pitch after their team lost at home 3-2 to Fenerbache in the Turkish Super Lig.
Initially charged with misconduct by the Turkish Football Federation, Osayi-Samuel faced the possibility of disciplinary action.

However, according to reports from Turkish website A Spor, the 26-year-old has now been cleared of any wrongdoing in the incident.
While Osayi-Samuel has been exonerated, Trabzonspor will still face repercussions for the unruly behavior of their fans.
The club has been handed a punishment of six matches to be played behind closed doors as a consequence of the incident.
Osayi-Samuel’s actions during the altercation had garnered praise from Fenerbahce supporters, further complicating the narrative surrounding the incident.
