Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi has returned to team duties with Besiktas after traveling to Nigeria for his father’s burial.
The midfielder’s father, a former soldier, tragically passed away in a car accident in Delta State last month and was laid to rest in Agbor last Friday.
After missing the recent 3-2 victory over Istanbul Başakşehir, the 29-year-old is back in contention for Sunday’s crucial home match against Goztepe.
This fixture carries high stakes for the “Black and Whites,” who currently sit fifth in the Super Lig, just one point behind fourth-placed Goztepe.
