Sunderland’s Noah Sadiki Walks with Limp After Missing DR Congo Match
Sunderland midfielder Noah Sadiki was seen walking with a slight limp after missing DR Congo’s World Cup qualifier against Togo on Friday. The 20-year-old was absent from the squad due to an unspecified issue, with DR Congo’s official account confirming his omission and stating he was in the infirmary.
Concern Grows Among Sunderland Fans
Footage shared on social media showed Sadiki moving gingerly as he left a team hotel, sparking concern among Sunderland supporters. The midfielder’s fitness will be closely monitored by both the Congolese and Sunderland medical teams, especially with the Africa Cup of Nations looming later this winter.
Potential Blow for Sunderland
If Sadiki recovers in time and is called up for the Africa Cup of Nations, Sunderland could be without both Sadiki and Arthur Masuaku for a run of games across December and January. The club is already managing several injury concerns, including Habib Diarra, who remains sidelined following groin surgery.
Sadiki’s Availability Uncertain
There is currently no official update on the severity of Sadiki’s condition, and Sunderland fans will be anxiously waiting for news on his availability. Given his importance to the team, his absence could be a significant blow to Sunderland’s season.
