Sevilla FC are monitoring the fitness of Nigerian winger Chidera Ejuke ahead of their upcoming La Liga match against FC Barcelona. The winger was unable to complete full training on Wednesday after experiencing slight physical discomfort.

Ejuke trained separately from the rest of the squad as the club’s medical team chose to take a cautious approach. The decision was reportedly precautionary to avoid worsening the issue before the important league fixture.

Despite the concern, Sevilla remain hopeful the 27-year-old will recover in time for the match. His availability will depend on how he responds to treatment and training over the next few days.

Ejuke has made 22 appearances for Sevilla this season, contributing one goal and one assist. The club will be eager to have him fit as they prepare to face league leaders Barcelona.
