Less than 48 hours after Super Eagles Captain, Wilfred Ndidi, announced the death of his Father, Sunday Ndidi, another Super Eagles player, Samuel Chukwueze has lost his dear Mother to the cold hands of death.
The sad news was made public by the brother of the Fulham Football Club of England winger, David Chukwueze, who took to Instagram to share a series of emotionally charged tributes reflecting the family’s grief.
In one post, he wrote, “Can’t even post your picture to say RIP Mum,” while another read, “My forever love just left me without saying goodbye.”
In a particularly touching message, he added, “You didn’t even carry your grandchild.”
The former Villarreal Football Club of Spain is yet to issue a public reaction to the painful loss.
The winger was recently part of the Super Eagles squad that finished third at the Africa Cup of Nations, marking another milestone in his international career.
The loss comes at a sombre time for the national team, as it follows closely on the heels of another bereavement.
With two senior national team players hit by personal tragedies in quick succession, tributes and messages of condolence have continued to pour in from fans and stakeholders across the football world.
