Sevilla winger Chidera Ejuke is facing a lengthy spell out of action after sustaining a high-grade hamstring injury during his team’s recent La Liga match against Barcelona.
The injury, which occurred just before halftime, led to Ejuke being substituted and later undergoing medical scans that confirmed the seriousness of the issue.
The 26-year-old Nigerian international is expected to be sidelined for at least three months, ruling him out until early 2025.

This development is a major blow to both Sevilla and Ejuke, who had been finding his form this season.
His absence will leave a gap in Sevilla’s attacking options during a crucial period where they are struggling for consistency in La Liga and other competitions.
The club will miss Ejuke’s pace and creativity on the wing, as they try to bounce back from a rough spell of performances.
For Nigeria, this injury also affects the Super Eagles, as Ejuke will not be available for their upcoming international fixtures.
His return to the national team is now anticipated for March 2025, leaving a void in Nigeria’s squad for the immediate future.
Both Sevilla and Nigerian fans will be hoping for a full and swift recovery for the dynamic winger.
