Birmingham City Boss Chris Davies Challenges Bright Osayi-Samuel to Win Back Starting Role

Birmingham City manager Chris Davies has urged Super Eagles defender Bright Osayi-Samuel to take his opportunity and fight his way back into the club’s starting XI.

The former Fenerbahçe full-back has struggled for minutes in the past two months, with Tomoki Iwata currently holding down the right-back position.

Ahead of Birmingham City’s clash with Watford on Saturday, Davies explained to Birmingham Mail that Osayi-Samuel needs to raise the level of his performances to regain his place in the team.

“Bright has been brought in to be an important player for us,” Davies told Birmingham Mail.

“He made a good start then with injuries he found himself out of the team.

“Tomoki was moved to right-back because both right-backs were injured and Tomoki has been one of if not the best full-back in the league in that time, he’s been exceptional.

“There’s an opportunity for Bright to come in and show what he can do because he’s an international player, he’s played at a really good level and he’s been working well.”
