Jose Peseiro has opened up on the reason for the exclusion of the Real Sociedad striker Sadiq Umar from the Super Eagles squad.
Umar dropped from the team before the start of the African Cup of Nations due to injury.
But the situation becomes an issue 2 days later when Umar resumes training with his Spanish side.
Peseiro during a pre-match conference explained that he was happy that the player had recovered but not happy because he was not part of the team.
” I got a report from the medical about his injury and they said he can’t recover in 15 days.
The club ( Real Sociedad) got the report and they said he must come for recovery training.
Myself, medical team and the player had a meeting and he wanted to stay just like me too we were on the last day to replace a player and we decided to replace him.
” I’m happy that he has recovered well but I’m sad that is not here”, Peseiro.
