Subbed in on Saturday Ejuke generated one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Osasuna.

Logs assist in win Ejuke made an assist after coming off the bench during Sunday's 4-1 win over Barcelona.

Impact Ejuke was brought during second half's stoppage time just after his team scored a goal that decided the game and still found time to make a big contribution as he made the assist for Akor Adams to make it 4-1 in his first play. This will definitely help the winger in his fight to get more playing time after the international break but, with such a high competition for minutes, he'll certainly need to keep making most of his chances.

Option off bench Ejuke (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's game against Alaves.

Impact Ejuke is available off the bench after leaving his injury issues in the rearview. The winger will be an option in case Sevilla need extra pace in the attacking third.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Named to squad list Ejuke (hamstring) has been named to the squad list for Saturday's match against Alaves.

Impact Ejuke looks to be an option for Saturday's contest, as the forward not only trained with his teammates but was also named to the squad list. This is good news for the club, as he started in their past two games ahead of his injury. He will now look to earn that spot again if fit for Saturday's outing.

SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Spotted in team training Monday Ejuke (hamstring) was back in team training on Monday, the club announced.

Impact Ejuke missed the last game due to a hamstring injury after being forced off in the match against Girona, but the Nigerian seems to have recovered from that issue since he was back in team training on Monday. This is good news for Sevilla as he is in a good position to be available for Saturday's clash against Alaves. That said, even though his main competitor from last season Dodi Lukebakio left for Benfica during the summer transfer window, the club signed Alexis Sanchez late in the window, which will likely force him to compete again if he wants to hold a regular starting role in the frontline under coach Matias Almeyda.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Out a few weeks Ejuke is expected to miss a few weeks of action due to his thigh injury, according to Yahoo Sports.

Impact Ejuke is still dealing with a thigh injury he suffered ahead of the break, with the issue expected to keep him out two to three weeks. He is now already through a week of that timeline, so he is on the better end of the timeline. That said, he will look to return when facing Alaves on Sept. 20, with Alfon and Juanlu as possible replacements while he is out.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers new injury Ejuke has suffered a new hamstring injury and was forced off in the 18th minute of Saturday's 2-0 win against Girona, according to ABC.

Impact Ejuke lasted only 18 minutes in Saturday's victory over Girona after suffering a new hamstring injury. The winger could not continue the game and requested a substitution. This is a big blow for Sevilla given the number of injuries in the squad and the possible departure of Dodi Lukebakio. If Ejuke's injury proves to be serious, Juanlu could again feature in a more advanced role on the right wing until the Nigerian returns.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Bench option Ejuke (groin) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Athletic Club.

Impact Ejuke is back from his injuries as expected Sunday, with the forward earning a spot on the bench to start the season.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Will be available Sunday Ejuke (groin) will be available to face Athletic Club on Sunday, manager Matias Almeyda told media during his pre-match press conference Friday.

Impact Ejuke suffered an adductor injury in training earlier this month and missed the last pre-season friendly. That said, his injury proved to be minor as he was already back in team training on Wednesday and will likely be available for the season opener against Athletic on Sunday. However, Ejuke is expected to hold a rotational role under new coach Mathias Almeyda at the start of the season.

AUGUST 13 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers adductor injury Ejuke suffered an adductor injury in training, according to his club.

Impact Ejuke missed a friendly Saturday after going down with an injury ahead of the contest, suffering from an adductor injury in the right thigh. This will set him up for evaluation, with that deciding the length of his absence. He only has two weeks to recover before heading into opening week, so he will hope to recover quickly, likely to be a bench option once fit.

It was his first start since Oct. 20 and marked just his third goal contribution of the season.

He would gain an assist on Dodi Lukebakio's goal in the 84th minute, with this being his first assist of the season and only his second goal contribution. His last goal contribution came Sept. 24, although he has only seen three starts since then, with all five appearances since returning from injury coming from the bench.

Impact Ejuke missed the last eight La Liga matches for Sevilla due to a hamstring injury sustained in late October. However, he returned to team training Thursday morning, though his availability for Saturday's game against Valencia remains uncertain.

Impact Ejuke suffered the injury in late October, and the speedy forward has been progressing well in his recovery.

It is unknown how long he will remain out at the moment, with further testing still to be done. He has been a regular starter, so this will force a change, with Peque as his likely replacement.

Impact Ejuke has been a regular in the starting lineup for Sevilla this season, and his absence opens a void in the final third that needs to be filled by someone else. Peque, Juanlu and Suso are all options to play wide in the final third.

The forward came off the bench in the second half, and has now been a substitute in the previous two games after starting the three games prior.

Active in final third in draw Ejuke generated three shots (zero on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and nine corners in Tuesday's 0-0 draw versus Mallorca.

Impact Ejuke was one of the players who entered the starting XI for this midweek clash, and it's fair to say he was able to make a strong claim for more minutes going forward. It's unclear if Ejuke will remain in the starting lineup when Sevilla takes on Girona on Sunday.

AUGUST 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Joining Sevilla Ejuke has agreed on a transfer from CSKA Moscow to Sevilla, his new club announced Monday.

Impact Ejuke has made a move across Europe, as he is now set to join Sevilla.
