Onuachu expected fit for Trabzonspor-Beşiktaş clash after Europa League injury

Paul Onuachu suffered an injury in Trabzonspor’s UEFA Europa League match against Finnish side KuPS on Thursday night, opening the scoring in the third minute before being replaced by Franculino Dju six minutes later. Turkish outlet takagazette reports the injury is not serious, noting Onuachu left the stadium on foot after the game. Trabzonspor are working to get him fit for the Turkish Super Lig clash against Beşiktaş scheduled for next Monday.

This matters to Nigerian fans because Onuachu is a regular Super Eagles forward; his availability influences Trabzonspor’s attacking strength and offers a chance to see a Nigerian star perform in a high‑profile Istanbul derby. The club has relied on him for two goals in seven league appearances this season.

Fans should monitor official team updates for his fitness status and consider watching the match if he clears to play. With the injury described as minor, the likelihood of his participation is high, but confirmation will come closer to kickoff. Will you adjust your plans to catch the game if Onuachu is cleared, or follow the clash through other means if he misses out?
