Chidera Ejuke Prepares for Sevilla Derby Against Betis

Chidera Ejuke, a winger for Sevilla FC, has expressed his readiness for whatever role head coach Mat Almeyda requires in the upcoming high-stakes derby against Real Betis on Sunday. Ejuke, who is 28 years old, has made 18 appearances in La Liga this season, contributing to goals and assists.

Almeyda has not yet decided whether Ejuke will start or come off the bench, but Ejuke remains focused on being prepared to help the team. He emphasized that he does not mind starting from the bench and just wants to assist the team when the opportunity arises.

Ejuke also highlighted the positive form of fellow Nigerian striker Akor Adam, noting that a confident striker can uplift the entire attack. The derby is crucial for Sevilla, who have lost their last six league matches and sit 12th in La Liga, five points above the relegation zone.

In contrast, Real Betis is fifth in the table and has collected 10 points from their last four league matches.
