Sevilla are facing a nervous wait over the availability of winger Chidera Ejuke as they prepare for their highly anticipated LaLiga encounter against table-toppers Barcelona this weekend.
The Nigerian international was forced to sit out of the full team session on Wednesday after reporting minor physical discomfort.
In a precautionary move, the Sevilla medical staff had the 27-year-old train away from the main group.
The club is taking a careful approach with the former CSKA Moscow man, hoping to avoid aggravating the issue. Early indications suggest that Ejuke could still be in contention for the fixture, provided he shows positive signs of recovery in the coming days.
Since joining Sevilla, Ejuke has made 22 appearances this season, contributing one goal and one assist.
His potential absence would be a blow for the home side as they look to challenge the league leaders this weekend.
