At the beginning of the season, Bright Osayi-Samuel, who left Fenerbahçe to join Birmingham City, lost his place in the team due to injuries. Head Coach Chris Davies sent a message to the Nigerian player, saying, "He needs to show himself on the field."

Bright Osayi-Samuel, who decided to return to England where he spent his childhood in the new season, has not had things go as planned. The Nigerian player, who signed with Birmingham City amid great expectations after his breakout at Fenerbahçe, has struggled to find his rhythm in the Championship.

Osayi-Samuel, who started the season well but was shaken by injuries, has fallen behind in the squad. While the English press discusses expressions of "regret over his departure," his coach Chris Davies made clear comments regarding the situation.

"HE NEEDS TO SHOW WHAT HE CAN DO ON THE FIELD"

Birmingham's head coach Chris Davies evaluated Osayi-Samuel's situation, stating, "Bright was brought in as an important player for us. He started very well, but he fell behind due to injuries. During this process, Tomoki Iwata played extraordinarily and became one of the best right-backs in the league. Bright needs to show what he can do on the field. He is an international player, and he has the opportunity to return." Davies' words were interpreted as a sign that Osayi-Samuel needs to fight hard to regain his chance to play.

MISSING FENERBAHÇE

So far, Osayi-Samuel has had a disappointing performance with 0 goals and 0 assists in 13 matches wearing the Birmingham jersey. It is noted that the player, who is far from his stable image at Fenerbahçe, is struggling due to competition and injuries in his new team.

ALL EYES ON THE PLAYER'S RETURN

While the Birmingham side trusts Osayi-Samuel, everything depends entirely on his performance on the field. Fans and coaching staff expect the 27-year-old player to regain the dynamism and effectiveness he had during his time at Fenerbahçe. It seems that the only way out for Osayi-Samuel now is to prove himself again on the field.
