Super Eagles defender, Raphael Onyedika was missing in action as Fiorentina defeated Club Brugge 4-3 on aggregate to book a place in the final of the Europa Conference League on Wednesday.
Recall that Onyedika was issued a red card in the first leg of the competition last week.

Brugge went ahead through left-back De Cuyper, who found himself in the centre-forward position to flick home a quick in-swinging cross from the left.
However, Fiorentina deserved place in the final was eventually secured when Mechele caught Nzola with his knee as the substitute stooped for a header, Beltran tucking his penalty into the bottom left corner.
Fiorentina will play either Olympiacos or Aston Villa in the final in Athens on 29 May, and have the chance to avenge their defeat in the final against West Ham United last year.
