Nigeria striker Sadiq Umar is facing up to eight weeks on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury with Valencia, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
The 29-year-old limped out of their training session on Monday, a day after completing the full 90 minutes in Valencia’s 3-1 defeat to newly promoted Deportivo La Coruña, where he scored his side’s only goal.
“Following the tests carried out, it has been observed that the player Sadiq Umar suffers from an injury to the right hamstring region, suffered in the match last Sunday against RC Deportivo de A Coruña,” the club said in a statement on Tuesday.
“The Valencia striker will follow a medical, physiotherapy and rehabilitation plan at the Sports City until clinical improvement, which will allow him to rejoin the rest of the team.”
