Norwegian side Molde FK has released an official statement regarding former Nigeria U-20 national football team midfielder Daniel Daga following his recent sentencing, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The club addressed the situation while outlining its position on the matter and the steps taken pending further developments in the legal process.

In a statement issued by the club, Molde acknowledged the seriousness of the case while stressing its responsibility as an employer.

“This is a very difficult case for everyone involved. 

Molde Football Club has a responsibility as an employer to take care of our employees in a responsible manner, while also having great respect for the seriousness of the case and the burden it places on all affected parties,” the club said.

The club further confirmed that the Nigerian midfielder will remain excluded from matchday activities for the time being.

“In light of the situation and the ongoing legal process, the club has decided that the player will not be part of the matchday squad until further notice.”

Molde had earlier announced in December that Daga would be withdrawn from both training sessions and matches while the legal proceedings were ongoing.
