Chidera Ejuke's timely return lifts Sevilla hopes ahead of Barcelona clash
Chidera Ejuke has given Sevilla FC a timely boost after returning to training ahead of their crucial La Liga clash with FC Barcelona this weekend.
The Nigerian winger had raised concerns within the Sevilla camp after missing Wednesday’s training session due to discomfort, sparking doubts about his availability for the high profile encounter.
However, Ejuke allayed those fears on Thursday when he rejoined his teammates and completed the full training session, putting himself firmly back in contention for Sunday’s match against the league leaders at the Spotify Camp Nou.
Sevilla still have two more days to fine-tune their preparations before the trip to Barcelona, with Ejuke’s return expected to provide a significant attacking option for the Spanish side.
The 28 year old already has fond memories of facing Barcelona this season. In the earlier meeting, Sevilla stunned the Catalan giants with a commanding 4–1 victory, with Ejuke playing a key role by providing an assist. His Nigerian compatriot, Akor Adams, also found the back of the net in that emphatic win.
With Ejuke now back in training, Sevilla will be hoping the winger can once again inspire a strong performance as they prepare to face Barcelona in what promises to be a keenly contested encounter.
