Nigeria’s Shehu Abdullahi apologises to fans after Turkish Super Lig relegation

Defender Shehu Abdullahi has apologised to Bursaspor fans for ‘a disappointing season’ that got the club relegated from the Turkish Super Lig.

Following a 2-1 win over Yeni Malatyaspor on Sunday, the Green Crocodiles ended the 2018-19 campaign in 16th spot with 37 points from 34 matches.

They will join BB Erzurumspor and Akhisarsapor in second-tier football next season.

A three-month injury hampered Abdullahi’s season as he could only make 13 league appearances with a goal to his credit.

He appreciated the club's faithful for their support towards the team and assured that they will fight their way back to the top-flight.
