Kelechi Nwakali punches opponent
Legit.ng previously reported that Kelechi Nwakali was shown a red card after he punched an opponent during the clash between Barnsley U21 and Birmingham City academy.
The report stated that Nwakali, who appeared visibly frustrated, struck an opponent in the 78th minute as his side trailed 1-2.
This act could see the midfielder face a violent conduct charge, which may increase his potential sanctions, alongside the additional three-game ban he is expected to serve for his actions.
