Super Eagles duo Chidera Ejuke and Kelechi Iheanacho are poised to make their return for Sevilla as they face Girona at the Estadio Municipal de Montilivi on Saturday.
Sevilla endured a tough end to 2024, struggling with injuries to key players, including Ejuke and Iheanacho.
Injury Woes Begin to Ease
Ejuke has been sidelined since mid-October after a hamstring injury in the 5-1 defeat to Barcelona, while Iheanacho has been nursing a minor knock for the past three weeks.
The Super Eagles duo resumed light training last week but missed Sevilla’s recent clash against Valencia.
However, Estadio Deportivo reports that Ejuke and Iheanacho participated fully in Friday’s training session and are fit enough to feature against Girona.

Cautious Return to Action
Despite their return to fitness, coach Garcia Pimienta may ease the players back gradually to ensure they regain full match sharpness.
Super Eagles stars, Ejuke and Iheanacho are likely to begin the game on the bench as Sevilla aims to manage their recovery carefully.
Motivation to Turn the Tide
The last meeting between Sevilla and Girona ended in a 2-0 loss for the Andalusian side.
Ejuke had a goal disallowed for offside in that match and will now look to make an impact as Sevilla seeks redemption.
