Super Eagles winger Chidera Ejuke suffered another injury setback during Sevilla’s 2-0 La Liga victory over Girona.
The 27-year-old lasted just 18 minutes before being forced off with what appeared to be a muscle problem. Ejuke was making only his second start of the season after featuring against Getafe last weekend.
Sevilla went on to claim their first win of the campaign, with goals from Alfon González and Isaac Romero, both assisted by Ruben Vargas.
