Needing more time
Sadiq (hamstring) still needs more time before a return, according to manager Javier Agguire. "Sadiq still has a little more left, but we will have them soon."
Analysis: Sadiq is nearing a return to play but will still need another week or two, as he is not yet fully over his hamstring injury. The forward has yet to play since the third match of the season, a rough absence, although he will be happy that a return is right around the corner. Once fit, his role will likely be limited, serving in more of a rotational role.
Nearing return from hamstring injury
Sadiq (hamstring) is in the final stage of recovery from his hamstring injury and said Wednesday that he has a test Thursday before a potential return soon, according to A Punt Esports. The Valencia forward said, "Thursday I have a test and if everything goes as planned, I'll be back very soon."
Analysis: This is a positive step for Sadiq after he was expected to miss an extended stretch with a severe hamstring tear. He still appears to be unavailable until he completes the next test, but his return to Valencia's forward group could be approaching. The striker has yet to feature under new head coach Javier Aguirre, and once he is back he will battle Hugo Duro for the central forward role.
