‘The coach knows of his discomfort’ - Real Sociedad manager slams Eguavoen for risking Super Eagles star’s injury
Real Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil has blasted Augustine Eguavoen for using injured attacker Sadiq Umar during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match.
Sadiq's time at Real Sociedad has been challenging since he arrived from Almeria three seasons ago.
After suffering a serious injury in his debut season, which restricted him to just three appearances, he has only made 14 starts over the past two seasons, scoring a mere three goals across all competitions.
)
This lack of playing time has led to frustrations, especially as he has failed to find the net this season, with his only assist coming in a match against Anderlecht in the Europa League.
Valencia, currently struggling at the bottom of La Liga in 19th place, is looking to bolster their squad following a managerial change.
)
The club has struggled offensively, managing only 16 goals this season, making Sadiq's potential arrival crucial for improving their attacking options.
While he will not be available for Valencia's upcoming match against Real Madrid, there are hopes that the deal will be finalised in time for their Copa del Rey fixture against Eldense and subsequent league match against Sevilla.
)
The impending transfer represents a fresh start for Sadiq as he seeks to revitalise his career and contribute effectively to Valencia's fight against relegation.
Despite his lack of game time and goals at his club, the popular forward remains part of Nigeria’s Super Eagles team.
