Norwegian authorities have handed Molde FK midfielder Daniel Daga a six-month prison sentence for committing a sexual act without consent. Daga joined the club from Enyimba FC just a year ago.

The player has filed an appeal through his lawyer, keeping the case active in the Norwegian legal system and postponing any final resolution.

Molde FK confirmed that Daga will not feature in upcoming matches until the matter is resolved, as the club monitors the ongoing proceedings closely.
