The Real Sociedad star cut a disappointed figure as he sat out training at the Ecole Nationale de la Police, Abidjan on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

22 players took part in training session under the supervision of head coach, Jose Peseiro.<\/p>\n

Sadiq is expected to be available for Nigeria\u2019s second Group B game against hosts Cote d\u2019Ivoire next Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Bundesliga striker, Victor Boniface is already ruled out of the competition.<\/p>\n

His replacement, Terem Moffi, will join the rest of the Super Eagles squad on Sunday.<\/p>\n
