Umar Sadiq insists on Super Eagles 23-man shortlist with another heroic performance for Valencia
@Source: pulsesports.ng
Umar Sadiq continued to stake his claim for a place in Eric Chelle's team after delivering another heroic performance for Valencia.
Super Eagles striker Umar Sadiq delivered the goods for Valencia, scoring the winner to help Los Che beat Real Valladolid and climb out of the relegation zone.
This is the third match in four weeks that the Nigerian is scoring the crucial goal for the Valencians. He won them a point against Villarreal in February. Last game week, he scored a brace to ensure they were not beaten by Osasuna, and today, his goal ensured victory against fellow relegation contenders Real Valladolid.
Sadiq's form earned him a place in Eric Chelle's 39-man provisional squad list for the international break later in the month. And if the Malian has not made up his mind on including the 27-year-old in the final 23-man shortlist for the games against Rwanda and Zimbabwe, his performance tonight would certainly earn him serious consideration.
