John Ogu Given Two - Week Break By Hapoel Beer Sheva To Get Married

Published: December 24, 2015

John Ogu has been permitted by Israeli Premier League outfit Hapoel Be’er Sheva to travel to his homeland to get married to his fiancee Chiugo Akaolisa.

The Nigeria international had already fixed his wedding date before Monday’s game between Hapoel Beer Sheva and Hapoel Ra’anana was made public, with the Camels hierarchy thinking the match would hold on Saturday.

And the central midfielder will be unavailable for selection when the table toppers face Maccabi Haifa in their first game of the new year, as his yellow card against Maccabi Tel Aviv on December 21 was his fifth of the season, triggering an automatic one-game ban.

Ogu has been given time - off by Hapoel Be’er Sheva for two weeks but must return to Israel before their clash with Hapoel Acre on January 9.

The 27 - year - old has been one of the most important players at Hapoel Be’er Sheva so far this season, starting every single game in the league and accumulating 1,261 minutes of game time in the process.
