Sevilla Coach Backs Ejuke for Espanyol Clash

Sevilla FC coach Lui Garcia has expressed his support for Nigerian winger Chidera Ejuke to retain his place in the starting lineup for the upcoming match against RCD Espanyol. Ejuke has shown impressive form, particularly in Sevilla's recent 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium.

Despite facing challenges throughout the season, Ejuke's inclusion in the starting eleven was a surprise, but his performance helped Sevilla secure a crucial win. Garcia praised Ejuke's overall display, emphasizing the importance of his defensive contributions and work rate without the ball.

Ejuke has made 24 league appearances this season but has struggled with consistency in terms of goals and assists. Garcia noted that Ejuke's pace and direct playing style provide a significant attacking outlet for the team.

Although Ejuke showed signs of fatigue towards the end of the match against Real Sociedad, Garcia believes he can help Sevilla maintain their La Liga status.
