Daniel Daga Returns to Eliteserien Action for Molde After Court Clearance
Nigerian midfielder Daniel Daga made his first Norwegian Eliteserien appearance since being cleared of sexual assault allegations, coming off the bench in the 35th minute of Molde’s 2-1 home defeat to Brann on Saturday.
The former FC ONE Rocket star replaced Vebjørn Hoff before halftime as Molde suffered their fifth league defeat of the season.
Reacting to his return, Daga wrote on social media on Sunday:
“Not the result we wanted, but grateful to be back doing what I love with the boys.”
Molde head coach Sindre Tjelmeland will be hoping the 19-year-old quickly rediscovers his best form as the club looks to strengthen its push for a European qualification place. The five-time Norwegian champions are currently fifth in the Eliteserien as the season approaches its halfway stage.
