Dyego Sousa will replace Umar Sadiq in Ibiza

Since landing in Almería, Umar Sadiq has always been indisputable. Last season he played everything since his arrival, missing only three games (Zaragoza and Las Palmas at home and Ponferrada in El Bierzo), precisely due to suspension, when he was sent off in Vallecas and Fuenlabrada and completed a cycle of warnings (nine yellow in total ). This season the role of the Nigerian is the same, being the only player in the squad who has participated in fifteen games with Samu Costa. However, the one from Kaduna saw his fifth yellow against Burgos this year and will cause Low for the duel that the rojiblancos dispute next Sunday in Ibiza (4:00 p.m.).

Except for some demanding fans, who have even shown their discontent in the form of whistles in the last two games at home, Sadiq’s role is indisputable, being a mainstay in Rubi’s schematics, both in game creation and completion. Not surprisingly, he adds seven goals and five assists, averaging one goal action every 104 minutes. Of course, the absence of the African striker comes at the least bad moment due to the great form of Dyego Sousa, who will form in the attack spear in Can Misses.

The Brazilian nationalized Portuguese has participated in several of the goals of the last days and his presence next Sunday in Ibizan lands is even seen as a exciting opportunity in the rojiblanco environment. The ‘Matador’ took off his mask in Miranda de Ebro two and a half weeks ago, when he scored a triplet and gave a goal assist in just 48 minutes. His prominence has not waned since then, with two more assists: he gave one to Lazo in Gijón and another to Puigmal last Sunday. Taking a look at his figures, he has played eight games (only Anduva’s as a starter), with a total of 116, so averages one goal action every 19 minutes, participating in half a dozen goals in the last four games.

Protagonism of the bench

The dock it is being decisive in the high rhythm imposed by Almería, an outstanding leader. Dyego Sousa dressed as an assistant in Gijón on Tuesday of last week, giving the pass for Lazo to make it 0-1 in the discount, the same suit that he put on last Saturday for Puigmal to sentence (2-0) against Burgos , also in the overtime of the second act. In addition, three other rojiblancos footballers have participated in goals after entering from the bench. In the seventh match (3-1 to Tenerife) Curro Sánchez jumped to the green in 74 ‘and just a minute later he assisted Sadiq in 2-0. On the eleventh date (3-1 to Real Sociedad B) Appiah came in in the 73rd minute and in the 75th minute he put the ball on goal for Sadiq at 2-1. The 3-1 also featured a player who started on the bench, in the case of Pozo, who materialized 3-1.
