Bright Osayi-Samuel's exit from the Nigeria squad has caused worry about a potential injury for Birmingham City. The defender played the entire match against Guinea-Bissau but will miss Nigeria's upcoming friendly, though no official reason was given.
Birmingham City manager Chris Davies has selected Osayi-Samuel as the starting right-back in every match this season. He has been a key player for the team, which is currently positioned in the middle of the league table.
Ethan Laird is the main alternative for the right-back position. He has featured from the bench in several league games and was on the bench for the match prior to the international period.
Birmingham City's latest results include a mix of wins, draws, and a loss from their previous five outings. Their next important match is a local derby against West Brom, where Osayi-Samuel's fitness is a significant uncertainty. Supporters can follow the team and check the schedule on the official club website.
No update has been provided by the club regarding the player's status. His selection for the national team came as a result of his reliable displays for Birmingham this season.
