Real Sociedad striker Umar Sadiq is likely to play for the LaLiga side in Wednesday’s Copa del Rey clash.
Sadiq has been chosen in the squad to face Osasuna.
The attacker was ruled out of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations owing to a knee injury last Friday.
Super Eagles head coach Jose Peseiro then called up Paul Onuachu to replace Sadiq on the squad.
However, Sadiq was back practicing alone at Sociedad.
Following angry protests from fans, the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, was forced to release a statement.
The NFF claimed that “our medical team meticulously abided by the best medical procedures.”
It remains to be seen if Sadiq will play any part in the contest, which comes a day before Nigeria take on Ivory Coast in their second AFCON group game.
