Ejuke may undergo surgery after high grade hamstring injury, out till March 2025

Chidera Ejuke and his club, Sevilla are yet to come to a definitive conclusion on whether the Nigerian should undergo surgery after suffering a hamstring injury during the LaLiga match week 10 game against Barcelona on Sunday.

The Nigerian has been diagnosed with a high-grade injury to the hamstrings of his left thigh but both player and club will determine on the next line of action after the Nigerian sought a second medical opinion on Tuesday.

According to ABC Sevilla, Ejuke ‘underwent the first medical tests which determined the degree of the injury, but did not make clear the path to follow for his recovery.
‘Thus, on Tuesday, the Nigerian has undergone more tests to determine whether or not surgery is necessary.’

Ejuke will likely undergo surgery in the next few days and begin his recovery process with the Nigerian scheduled to return to action around March 2025.

If he does not undergo surgery, he will be out for minimum two months which means he will not be available again this year and definitely out of Nigeria’s final two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda next month.

Ejuke has been one of Sevilla’s best players in his first season in the LaLiga while his Nigerian compatriot at the club, Kelechi Iheanacho is still trying to find his feet after moving from England to Spain as a free agent in July.
