Sevilla have released a medical update on Super Eagles winger Chidera Ejuke after he sustained an injury during their 5-1 loss to Barcelona. Ejuke was substituted in the first half, and following medical tests, it has been confirmed that he suffered a high grade hamstring injury in his left thigh. This injury is expected to sideline him for a few weeks, meaning he will miss several upcoming matches.
Ejuke’s absence is a blow to Sevilla, as he has been one of the most exciting forwards in La Liga this season. His dribbling skills have ranked him above top players like Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal and Real Madrid’s Vinícius Júnior. Across Europe’s top five leagues, only a few players, such as Mohammed Kudus and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, boast a better dribble completion rate.
With nine appearances and one goal for Sevilla this season, Ejuke’s injury may also affect his chances of being called up for Nigeria’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in November against Rwanda and Benin.
Editorial
Chidera Ejuke’s injury comes at an unfortunate time, both for his club Sevilla and the Nigerian national team. As one of the top dribblers in La Liga, Ejuke’s skill and flair have made him a key player this season. His absence will certainly be felt, and the timing of the injury means that both Sevilla and the Super Eagles will have to adjust their plans in the coming weeks.
We believe that this setback, while unfortunate, could also provide an opportunity for other players to step up in his absence. For Nigeria, the upcoming AFCON qualifiers will require the team to fill the gap left by Ejuke, but his long term health and recovery should remain the top priority.
