Check out “AFCON 2023: NFF Dispels Sadiq’s Irregular Injury Rumor.” On the rumors about the ineptitude of the Super Eagles medical staff, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has refuted them.
After seeing Umar Sadiq in a video workout with his Spanish squad, Real Sociedad, the medical staff has been under heavy fire.
Paul Onuachu replaced Sadiq in Nigeria’s 2023 Africa Cup roster after he injured his knee in a friendly match against Guinea. The 26-year-old returned to Spain over the weekend and was expected to miss three weeks.
“The Super Eagles have condemned media claims that have made erroneous assumptions, degrading insinuations, and conspiracy theories about forward Sadiq Umar’s health.
Umar lives in Spain. The NFF reported that the camp made a statement regarding the player’s withdrawal from Nigeria’s 34th Africa Cup of Nations team in Cote d’Ivoire.

Update on Benzema
Despite his obvious desire to leave Saudi Arabia, Karim Benzema is unlikely to leave before the January transfer window closes.
The Real Madrid legend joined Al-Ittihad in the summer as one of the Saudi Pro League’s landmark signings, but he has struggled recently, scoring 12 goals and providing five assists in 20 appearances.
Both Chelsea and Manchester United desire the striker’s late-winter return. Jakes said Benzema wouldn’t attend Al-Ittihad’s Dubai training camp because of a Mauritius hurricane.
That naturally raised the question: could he have returned? Does he want to? As with Jordan Henderson, this smoke indicates fire, suggesting the athlete is considering choices.
Ittihad places a significant emphasis on Benzema. Although there are no offers for the player, the relationships between Manchester United and Chelsea are not very relevant.
“Al-Ittihad and Saudi deal-makers may prevent Benzema’s departure. “If he becomes the poster boy for Saudi league exits and perceived failure, that’s not good optics.”
The relocation of Branthwaite
All Sports Predictions hears that Everton may have to let go of highly sought-after player Jarrad Branthwaite in the summer in order to prevent more financial difficulties.
Real Madrid and Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Branthwaite, who has emerged as one of the league’s top defenders thus far this year.
Given Merseyside’s latest Premier League profit and sustainability charge, profiting from 21-year-old Branthwaite, who joined the Toffees from Carlisle as a youth, would be wise.
