The txuri-urdin team is already taking measures regarding the striker
The Real Sociedad has received the complicated news of the serious injury of Umar Sadiq, which has suddenly changed all their plans. He was the footballer who arrived at Anoeta to replace Alexander Isak but could not fulfill that role due to his unexpected injury.
Let us remember that in the two games he played with the txuri-urdin club, the Nigerian proved his worth. It was just a few minutes, but in which he was decisive in several offensive actions. He even scored a goal, which served to draw the match against Atlético Madrid.
Real Sociedad makes a decision regarding Umar Sadiq
In this way, it has now been confirmed that Umar Sadiq will miss the rest of the season with Real Sociedad. Undoubtedly, the worst news that the San Sebastián club could receive. For this reason, the decision that the management reportedly makes in this regard has generated quite a bit of expectation, taking into account the scorer’s time off.
Along those lines, the Anoeta club has determined what will happen to the future of the Nigerian. Among the possibilities that had been assessed was to drop him from the squad to make room, but that has been immediately ruled out.
The Nigerian striker will remain registered despite not being able to play again this season
This has been confirmed by Aperribay, who intends to keep the striker registered even if he cannot play a match this season. Real Sociedad will keep Umar Sadiq registered, despite having little room for maneuver. The best option was to sign another player, but the decision will remain firm unless there is a surprise.
We will have to wait in the end to see what happens with the txuri-urdin side this season. Without a main goalscorer, Imanol Alguacil will have to use other players, who could step up and take advantage of the opportunity. The objective will always be to get a place in the Champions League and this will be fiercely contested, hence the relevance of the goal factor.
