Club Brugge striker Emmanuel Dennis is in deep mourning following the death of his older brother during a sailing race in Lagos, Nigeria.
The Nigeria international has been granted compassionate leave to attend the funeral of his brother which takes place today and is scheduled to return to Belgium on Thursday evening.

Rip to his big brother. This is tough on Emmanuel as his big brother is likely a massive influence on him. God be with his family.

NOT SURE WHAT THE SITUATION WAS, BUT...
