Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi has been handed a one-match suspension in Turkey and will miss Beşiktaş J.K.’s home game against Alanyaspor this weekend.

The 29-year-old midfielder received his fourth yellow card of the season during Nigeria’s 1-0 defeat to Fenerbahçe S.K. last weekend.

Ndidi joined Beşiktaş last summer and has made 25 league appearances this season, contributing two goals and one assist.

His suspension comes at a crucial time as Beşiktaş aim to maintain their position in the Turkish Super Lig, currently sitting fourth on the league table.

The club will now rely on other midfield options to fill the gap left by the absence of their captain in the upcoming match.

Ndidi’s experience and defensive prowess have been central to Beşiktaş’ campaign, and his absence could affect their midfield stability against Alanyaspor.

The one-match suspension is part of the league’s disciplinary regulations, which penalize players reaching four bookings in a season.

Coaches and teammates are expected to adjust tactics to compensate for the defensive midfielder’s temporary absence.

Beşiktaş will host Alanyaspor at their home ground, with fans awaiting how the team will cope without Ndidi.

The Super Eagles captain is expected to return immediately after serving the suspension, resuming his role in the team’s midfield lineup.
