The family of Super Eagles and Fulham forward Samuel Chukwueze has announced the passing of their mother, with emotional tributes shared by his brother on Instagram.
Reports indicate she died after a brief illness. Condolence messages have already spread through the football community as the family prepares burial arrangements.
The loss comes as Chukwueze is expected to return to club duties following his recent international commitments.
Echotitbits take: Losing a parent is a massive blow, especially for a player who often credits family support for his rise. Expect Fulham to grant compassionate leave, and don’t be surprised if his return to action carries a visible emotional edge.
