Real Sociedad forward, Sadiq Umar is uncertain of his return from injury after seven months on the sidelines.
The Nigeria forward has been out of action since September 2022 after he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in a league game which ruled him out of the season.
The towering forward made the switch to Real Sociedad from UD Almeria in the summer of 2022 after having a tremendous season with the latter club.
The Super Eagles striker bears his frustration after his long stay in rehab, while still unsure of his return date.
