Super Eagles attacker Chidera Ejuke will be available for selection for Sevilla when they take on Barcelona this Saturday, Soccernet.ng reports.
Sevilla will travel to the Camp Nou to lock horns with reigning La Liga champions Barcelona in their 28th game of the campaign.
The fixture promises to be an enthralling encounter, given the fact that both sides still have a lot to play for.
The Blaugrana currently lead La Liga and need to keep winning to maintain their position amid a fierce pursuit from bitter rivals Real Madrid. On the other hand, Los Nervionenses are threatened by relegation, sitting just six points above the drop zone.
Meanwhile, they are nine points behind a UEFA Conference League qualification spot, and they will be highly motivated by the prospect of continental football.
Going into the game, Sevilla have two Super Eagles stars on their roster: Akor Adams and Chidera Ejuke. While the former has been heavily involved in training this week, there have been doubts over the latter's fitness.
On Wednesday, Soccernet.ng reported that Ejuke was absent from training, which cast an air of uncertainty over his availability.
Chidera Ejuke Ready to Face Barcelona
According to Spanish outlet Comuniate, Ejuke actively participated in Sevilla's training session on Thursday. This indicates that he is ready to feature against Barcelona on Sunday.
In the reverse fixture at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, the Super Eagles star provided the assist for Akor Adams' goal, which served as a late consolation in a 4-1 defeat.
Hence, his return is a significant boost for coach Matías Almeyda's side. Moreover, he has been a key impact player off the bench for Sevilla in recent weeks, and he will be looking to have a similar effect at the Camp Nou.
The last time Sevilla visited the Camp Nou, they suffered a 5-1 drubbing. However, Ejuke and his teammates will be looking to secure a much better result this time around.
