Sadiq Umar, a striker for Real Sociedad, has made the Super Eagles’ striker dilemma worse at the 2023 AFCON. On Wednesday night in Abidjan, he missed practice with the rest of the squad and needed medical attention from the team.
There was speculation that he had a strap over his leg.
Federal Character also learned that he was knocked during Monday’s AFCON warm-up match in Dubai against Guinea.
Right now, the only striker on the team without a problem is Victor Osimhen.
Only one muscle injury has healed for Kelechi Iheanacho, and he is only scheduled to return to the team this coming weekend.
Terem Moffi, who was brought on as a late substitute for the injured Victor Boniface, won’t be able to play until Sunday, when the Super Eagles take on Equatorial Guinea in their AFCON opener.
On Sunday, Moffi and Iheanacho won’t be eligible for selection.
