Nigerian player Bright Osayi-Samuel is one of three Fenerbahce players who will attend a disciplinary meeting of the Turkish Football Federation after a conflict with Trabzonspor fans, the TFF reported on Monday.
Fans entered the field at Trabzonspor's stadium after the Super Lig game on March 17 that Fenerbahce won 3-2.
The attacks occurred after the Fenerbahce team and staff celebrated their win, and goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic was punched.
Osayi-Samuel, 26, punched a masked fan who ran onto the field, while Dutch defender Jayden Oosterwolde is accused of kicking the same fan.
Another player and two club employees will also go before the disciplinary body for 'fighting', as stated by the TFF.
A Trabzonspor assistant coach will also attend the disciplinary board.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino criticized the violence as 'completely unacceptable'.
Thirteen Trabzonspor supporters were arrested and five held in custody awaiting trial.
This was the most recent violent incident to impact Turkish football this season.
The championship was paused for a week earlier this season when the president of Ankaragucu attacked a referee at the end of a first division match.
Several Fenerbahce visits to Trabzon have also been marred by violence in recent years.
In 2016, a game against Trabzonspor was called off in the final minutes after an assistant referee was attacked by a home supporter.
The year before, the Fenerbahce team bus was attacked by a gunman on the way back from the neighboring city of Rize, leaving the driver seriously injured.
In 2014, a match between Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce was abandoned at half-time after the Istanbul club's players were pelted with objects by home fans.
Trabzonspor, who won the Turkish title two years ago, also attracted attention in 2015 when the club president locked the referee and his assistants inside the stadium overnight in protest at the decision not to award his team a penalty.
They were eventually released in the early hours of the following morning after a phone call from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
