Former Nigeria U-20 midfielder Quadri Liameed is recovering after suffering a frightening head injury during a Spanish Segunda League match between his club, CE Sabadell, and Albacete, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The midfielder reportedly lost consciousness for about 30 seconds after being struck on the head by an opponent's kick, causing serious concern during the encounter.

However, his father, Hajji Gafar, has confirmed that the player is now in stable condition and receiving medical attention.

Speaking about his son's recovery, Gafar said:

“My son is now in a stable condition and is expected to undergo a Buffalo Concussion Bike Test (BCBT) within the next 48 hours. The Spanish medical team attending to him gave me some encouraging news yesterday, and I am relieved and grateful.

“I also intend to travel to Spain within the next 10 days to personally see Quadri, spend some time with him and support him through this recovery process.”

Liameed has built a reputation as a hardworking midfielder, known for his determination, intelligence and ability to win second balls. His development began at a young age, with his performances earning him recognition as a dependable presence in the middle of the park.

He worked under several respected Nigerian coaches, including Manu Garba, Nduka Ugbade and Ladan Bosso, before representing the country at the 2019 African Games in Rabat, Morocco.

The midfielder was part of the Flying Eagles squad that won silver at the competition under former coach Paul Aigbogun.

He has continued his professional career in Spain over the past five years, with his father expressing confidence that his resilience will help him through the current setback.

The 36 Lion Football Club family, Lagos State football community and the wider Nigerian football fraternity have also joined in wishing the midfielder a full and speedy recovery.
