AFCON 2023: Ousted Super Eagles forward, Sadiq Umar listed for Sociedad versus Osasuna match

After being sent packing from the national team camp for being injured, Real Sociedad have included Super Eagles hitman, Sadiq in their squad for the Round of 16 Copa Del Rey match against Osasuna today.

The Spanish club announced the squad list in a post on their X account  yesterday as Umar was listed among 22 players available for selection for the match holding tonight.

Recall that the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) declared the lanky striker injured and replaced him with Paul Onuachu in the Super Eagles team for the ongoing AFCON in Ivory Coast.

In another video uploaded by Sociedad, Umar was seen training along with other team members ahead of today’s clash. He appears ready to play as he took part in the club’s practice session.

Paul Onuachu has since replaced Sadiq Umar and has since arrived.
