Sadiq Umar Ruled Out of Valencia’s England Tour Clash with Hamstring Injury

Valencia forward Sadiq Umar will miss the club’s tour match in England after sustaining a hamstring problem.

The Super Eagles striker picked up the injury in a pre-season friendly against Castellon and was subsequently absent from team training this week as he began his recovery.

Valencia have not yet released a formal update on Umar’s condition, although he is expected to return to action shortly.

The La Liga side are scheduled to face Championship club Stoke City on Saturday as their English tour continues.
