Chibuike Nwaiwu has been handed a two-match suspension following his red card in the first leg of Trabzonspor’s UEFA Europa League playoff tie against Ferencváros.
Ferencváros claimed a 1-0 victory at Papara Park, with Kristoffer Zachariassen scoring the decisive goal in the 17th minute.
Nwaiwu was shown a red card in the closing stages of the keenly contested encounter, leaving Trabzonspor to finish the game with 10 men.

The Nigeria international will consequently miss Thursday night’s return leg at the Ferencváros Stadion.
The centre-back will also sit out Trabzonspor’s opening league-phase fixture should the Turkish club overturn the first-leg deficit and progress to the next stage of the competition.
Nwaiwu has established himself as a regular for the Black Sea Storm since joining the club from Austrian outfit Wolfsberger AC in January.
The 23-year-old has also made two league appearances for Trabzonspor this season.
