Nigerian forward was reportedly left out of the squad for a recent fixture due to concerns over his performance levels and attitude in training.
According to reports, the coaching staff deemed the winger’s recent displays as inadequate and lacking motivation, prompting the decision to exclude him from the matchday squad. The move is understood to be a disciplinary and performance-based decision rather than injury-related.
Sources indicate that the technical team has been dissatisfied with Onyekuru’s intensity and overall contribution during training sessions, leading to questions about his readiness to compete at the required level. The omission is seen as a clear message from the club regarding expectations around commitment and form.
Onyekuru, who previously enjoyed successful loan spells at Galatasaray, now faces uncertainty over his role, with increased pressure to improve his performances in order to regain selection. The situation adds to ongoing discussions about his future and consistency at club level.
The development highlights the competitive environment within the squad, as players are expected to maintain high standards amid the club’s ambitions in domestic and European competitions.
