Super Eagles and Real Soceidad forward Umar Sadiq is making significant progress in his recovery bid from anterior cruciate ligament injury (ACL)
The 25-year-old sustained the injury during Real Sociedad’s LaLiga fixture against Getafe last September and was later ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery.
Sadiq walked off the pitch on his own after landing awkwardly as a result of a dribble by an opponent.
Progressive pictures have however emerged of the Nigeria international working very hard in the gym.

He scored on his debut for the club netting the equaliser in the 1-1 home draw against Atletico Madrid, that was followed by two goals for Almeria before the switch to Soceidad.
