Omorodion, the Nigerian striker who scored six goals in eight games for FC Porto, has passed away at the age of 21.
The news was confirmed by the club on Monday, with manager Jorge Jesus paying tribute to Omorodion and his family.
"Today we say goodbye to one of our greatest players ever," Jesus said in a statement. "He was a true champion, a true gentleman and a true professional. We will always remember him as a player who never gave up, no matter how difficult the situation."
Omorodion's passing is a great loss to the football world, but it also serves as a reminder of the dangers that come with playing in high-pressure situations.
FC Porto have already lost two key players this season - Brazilian midfielder Bruno Fernandes and Dutch defender Ralf Schindler - and their struggles continue.
It remains to be seen whether they can bounce back from this latest setback, but it is clear that they will need to do so if they want to compete for major honours this season.
In conclusion, Omorodion's passing is a sad day for FC Porto and the football world, but it is also a reminder of the importance of protecting young talent and ensuring they receive the necessary support and guidance to succeed.
