The 26-year-old striker was sidelined for months after suffering a serious cruciate ligament injury during a La Liga fixture against Getafe in September 2022.
However, the determined footballer didn’t let adversity hold him back, and he made a huge recovery to return back to the Spanish club last season.

He underwent rigorous rehabilitation and diligently worked towards getting back into shape.
After months of intense training and dedication, Umar finally returned to action in the latter stages of the previous season, offering a glimmer of hope for his fans and teammates.
The Nigerian forward spent his summer break continuing his fitness regimen, ensuring he was in optimal form for the upcoming preseason.
As the Real Sociedad squad geared up for their friendly matches, the Super Eagles star joined full training sessions with his teammates and impressed everyone with his commitment and performance.
While the club is yet to kick off their official preseason friendly games, they’ve been engaging in intense internal practice matches.
In one of these training games on Saturday, Sadiq Umar stole the spotlight with an extraordinary chip goal that left everyone in awe.
