Delayed Work Permit Keeps Stanley Amuzie from FC Lugano Debut
Swiss Super League enthusiasts and eager FC Lugano fans have been left in anticipation as Stanley Amuzie, the Nigerian Super Eagles left-back, has been unable to make his eagerly awaited debut for FC Lugano. This delay stems from the yet-to-be-issued work permit, according to a report by Completesportsnigeria.com.
Stanley Amuzie, who recently embarked on a season-long loan transfer from the Italian side Sampdoria to FC Lugano, regrettably cannot partake in their imminent face-off against Sion on Thursday, an absence enforced by the lingering work permit conundrum. However, the football aficionados are not without hope, as the former Nigeria U-23 defender has been showcasing his prowess during training sessions, raising the prospect of his potential inclusion in the squad for FC Lugano’s weekend encounter with Grasshoppers.
In Amuzie’s own words, he succinctly summarized his predicament, stating, “My registration isn’t ready yet; I’m still waiting for my work permit.” His frustration is undoubtedly shared by his new club and supporters who are eager to witness his talents on display.
Currently positioned sixth in the Swiss Super League table, FC Lugano, with eight points gleaned from seven matches, remains hopeful that Amuzie’s debut is just around the corner. The 25-year-old defender, who made his first appearance for the Super Eagles in a 2016 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Egypt in Kaduna, is poised to bring his skills to the Swiss League, adding depth and finesse to FC Lugano’s roster.
