Sadiq Umar assigned new squad number at Real Sociedad
Posted : 26 July 2023
Super Eagles striker Sadiq Umar has been assigned the number 19 jersey at Real Sociedad after the departure of Alexander Sorloth to Villarreal.
Umar, who joined the Spanish La Liga side for a club-record €20 million fee from Almeria last summer, made an impressive start by scoring on his debut.
Unfortunately, his progress was halted by a serious knee injury during his third game against Getafe, sidelining him for the rest of the season.
After a ten-month absence, he recently returned to full action during a pre-season game against Sporting CP, where he wore the number 19 jersey.
With Sorloth's exit, Coach Imanol Alguacil hopes Umar regains his form quickly, as Real Sociedad faces a demanding season ahead, including participation in Champions League football.
