Nigerian international Chidera Ejuke has made a welcome return to team training with Spanish club Sevilla, following a lengthy recovery period from a severe hamstring injury that sidelined him for nearly three months.
Sevilla’s official X account broke the exciting news with a post featuring Chidera Ejuke in the team’s training gear. The Nigerian also received a warm welcome from his Sevilla teammates as they celebrated his return to training, clearly thrilled to have him back.
The 27-year-old winger suffered a hamstring injury just before halftime during Sevilla’s 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Barcelona at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, and was subsequently substituted out for Albert Sambi Lokonga.
After making an initial return to training on the grass in early December, Ejuke is now fully recovered and match-fit, paving the way for his comeback to competitive action with Sevilla as they push to climb into the top half of the La Liga standings.
