Umar Sadiq is a major doubt for Nigeria’s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations opening match with the Nzalang Nacional of Equatorial Guinea.

Sadiq did not train with the rest of the squad at the Ecole Nationale de la Police on Wednesday night.

The Real Sociedad striker, who had a strapping around his leg had to be attended to by the team’s physio.

The striker reportedly picked a knock in the Super Eagles 2-0 friendly defeat to the Syli Stars of Guinea on Monday.

Head coach Jose Peseiro will hope he recovers in time for the clash against Equatorial Guinea.

Napoli hitman Victor Osimhen is currently the only fit striker at Peseiro’s disposal at the moment.

The other two strikers in the team; Kelechi Iheanacho and Terem Moffi are expected to join their teammates in camp this weekend.

Iheanacho, who just recovered from muscular injury will arrive camp on Saturday.
