Super Eagles and Real Sociedad striker, Sadiq Umar, has cried out about the unfair treatment Nigerian players get from the fans whenever they play for the country, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 27-year-old was a surprise inclusion in Augustine Eguavoens squadlist for the just concluded AFCON 2025 qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda.
Sadiq is yet to score a goal this season, and his inclusion raised eyebrows. In response, the former Rangers man revealed its tough to play in front of the Nigerian crowd, not just for him, but for his teammates as well.
Despite Sadiqs inclusion in Nigerias squad, he played just a minute of football, coming off the bench in Nigerias loss to Rwanda.
