Having secured the league and cup double last season without a single defeat, Leverkusen now find themselves in a challenging position.

Tella’s return would be a significant boost for Leverkusen, especially as they look to secure both the Bundesliga title and the DFB Pokal this season.

The Nigerian forward, who has been a key figure for Rangers this season, showcased his composure and finishing prowess in the 93rd minute, sealing a stunning comeback for his side.

The Super Eagles striker’s late heroics capped off an incredible comeback, with Rangers twice clawing their way back from two-goal deficits.

After going seven league games without a goal, Iheanacho found the net in Middlesbrough’s clash against Oxford United in the EFL Championship.

His poor form contributed to his omission from Nigeria’s squad for the last international break, missing the qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.

With three losses in their last five league matches, Nantes remain in 13th place, while Le Havre continue their fight for survival in 16th.

The Nigerian shot-stopper, making his 17th appearance of the season, has kept three clean sheets and received one yellow card in the ongoing campaign.

Bassey, who has been one of Fulham’s standout performers this season, will feel disappointed with his role in Palace’s second goal.

However, after scoring against Bochum, Boniface took to Instagram to address the frustration of Nigerian fans, writing: “9ja plz be patient with me, the goal will come.”
