It was an extremely emotional weekend for Nigeria international striker, Emmanuel Emenike.
The striker endured a torrid time on Sunday night as he was booed by his own fans in Fenerbahçe’s 1-0 victory over Besiktas at Sükrü Saracoglu Stadyumu.
He was almost in tears as he left the pitch, prematurely heading for the changing rooms, to a chorus but was persuaded by the Fenerbahçe coach Ismail Kartal to continue.
It remains unclear if Emenike will ever play for Fenerbahçe again.
It was a tale of injured players in England as Brown Ideye and Victor Moses both missed out on games for West Browmwich Albion and Stoke City respectively in the Barclays English Premier League.
Elsewhere, there was a happier tale for former Nigeria international striker, Bartholomew Ogbeche who broke his goals drought for Cambuur.
