Real Sociedad striker Umar Sadiq has been included in the squad for their upcoming Copa del Rey match against Osasuna.
Sadiq was unable to participate in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations due to a knee injury, leading to his replacement by Paul Onuachu in the Super Eagles squad.
Despite training separately upon his return to Real Sociedad, Sadiq’s status for the upcoming match and the subsequent AFCON game against Ivory Coast remains uncertain.
The Nigeria Football Federation faced backlash from fans, prompting them to affirm their adherence to proper medical procedures.
