The List of the 50 Most Fouled Players Has Been Announced
Nigeria, known for producing top attacking talents in recent years, has two players featured in this list. However, contrary to many expectations, these players are not Ademola Lookman, Victor Osimhen, or Victor Boniface.
The most fouled Nigerian player on the list is Christiantus Uche, who plays for Getafe. The 21-year-old midfielder, who joined from Cueta, has been fouled 49 times in 24 matches. However, he has not remained passive in response to these challenges.
Uche has also committed numerous fouls himself, receiving a total of five yellow cards. Despite this, he remains an effective attacking force and ranks 12th overall on the list.
The second most fouled Nigerian player is Frank Onyeka, who is currently on loan at Augsburg. He has been fouled 43 times, placing him 26th on the overall list.
Several other players of Nigerian descent also feature in the rankings. Manchester United’s Patrick Dorgu ranks third with 55 fouls suffered. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich duo Jamal Musiala and Michael Olise have both been fouled 40 times, placing them in joint 39th position.
At the very top of the list is Newcastle United’s Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimarães, who has been fouled 82 times this season.
