Sevilla is concerned about Ejuke’s injury

Chidera Ejuke missed Saturday’s preseason match between Sevilla and Marseille because to a thigh injury he sustained during his off-season shenanigans.

After joining the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan from CSKA Moscow in July 2024, the Nigerian international had a lackluster debut season, managing just two goals in 25 La Liga games.

After being sidelined for nearly ten weeks due to a hamstring injury, Ejuke was only able to make four starts when he was fully recovered.

On holiday in Nigeria, the 27-year-old played unofficial matches on clay fields, but he won’t have won over new Palanganas head coach Matias Almeyda.

It’s unclear how long Ejuke’s injury will keep him out of the game against L’OM, but the Andalusian team made the announcement on social media.

Due to a thigh injury, Ejuke will not play against Marseille tonight. Chidi, I hope you recover quickly!” the club said in a statement on Saturday.
