Real Madrid central defender Antonio Rüdiger has sent a message to Umar Sadiq after the Real Sociedad summer signing suffered a significant injury at the weekend.
The Nigeria international suffered a right knee sprain during the first half against Getafe and tests on Monday confirmed everyone’s worst fears.
Sadiq has been diagnosed with a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in the right leg, an injury that could see him miss the remainder of the 2022-2023 season.
The 2016 Olympics bronze medalist will start a physiotherapy treatment and is scheduled to undergo surgery to repair the damage.
