Super Eagles striker, Umar Sadiq, recently posted a heartwarming photo of himself and his daughter Aisha as he continues his recovery from injury.
The 26-year-old former Roma player sustained a right knee injury during a match for Real Sociedad on September 11 last year, forcing him to miss the remainder of the season.
The injury was a significant setback for Sadiq and his fans, who had high hopes for his goal-scoring abilities at Real Sociedad last season.
Nonetheless, the photo of Sadiq and his daughter stepping out onto the pitch together brings a touch of joy amid his ongoing recovery.
Real Sociedad had a successful season even without the presence of Umar Sadiq in their squad.
They secured a fifth-place finish in the league, earning them a spot in the Europa League.
Despite not being able to contribute on the pitch, Sadiq expressed his gratitude to God for blessing him with a wonderful daughter, as seen in the picture he shared on his official Instagram page.
Umar Sadiq hails daughter Aisha
”Aisha, you are a blessing and the mother of the believers, and all I pray is my GOD should keep protecting and guiding you to the straight path.”
In the comment session, Sadiq was criticized for not covering his daughter Aisha with the traditional hijab, in a report also seen on Pulse and Naija Sports.
The Super Eagles player was later forced to block all the comments on the photo from being seen.
Osimhen backs Jose Peseiro
Earlier, Sports Brief had reported that Victor Osimhen has offered his maximum support for Jose Peseiro, claiming that the former Venezuela gaffer is the right man for the Super Eagles ahead of the 2023 African Cup of Nations.
The Nigerian Football Federation chiefs are yet to make their final decision on the future of Peseiro as a handler of the three-time African champions after the expiration of his contract at the end of June.
Peseiro’s journey as the Super Eagles boss started after the team failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, losing the playoffs against Ghana.
