• Nigerian forward, Umar Sadiq has shared a cute photo of himself and his daughter
• Some fans have reacted to the photo after seeing Aisha not wearing hijab
• Sadiq is recovering from the injury that he suffered in September 2022

Super Eagles striker, Umar Sadiq has shared an adorable photo of himself stepping out onto the pitch with his daughter Aisha as injury recovery continues for the 26-year-old former Roma player.

On September 11 last year, the Nigerian forward suffered a right knee injury during his third game in a Real Sociedad shirt and was ruled out for the rest of the season.

The injury suffered by Sadiq was a big blow for him and many of his fans, who were expecting him to score goals for Real Sociedad last term.

Despite not having Sadiq in their squad, Real Sociedad did well last season as they finished fifth on the final League standings and picked up a ticket for the Europa League.

The Super Eagles player was later forced to block all the comments on the photo from being seen.

The Nigerian Football Federation chiefs are yet to make their final decision on the future of Peseiro as a handler of the three-time African champions after the expiration of his contract at the end of June.

Peseiro's journey as the Super Eagles boss started after the team failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, losing the playoffs against Ghana.
