La Liga: Sevilla boss confirms Iheanacho, Ejuke will face Villarreal


Sevilla manager, Garcia Pimienta has confirmed Kelechi Iheanacho and Chidera Ejuke’s availability for Friday’s La Liga clash with Villarreal.

Iheanacho and Ejuke joined the Rojiblancos on a free transfer this summer.

The duo are, however, yet to make their official appearance for the former UEFA Europa League champions.

Ejuke was left on the bench in Sevilla’s 2-2 draw against Las Palmas last weekend.

Iheanacho was, however, not included in the matchday squad.

Pimienta said the two players are available for selection against Villarreal.

“Ejuke is doing very well,” Pimienta said at a press conference on Thursday.

“The other day he didn’t come in because of our decision considering the state of the team. Tomorrow, if necessary, he will help the team.”

He added: “For tomorrow we will have practically the entire squad except for Suso, who is injured. We want the team to be recognisable and to play as equals regardless of the opponent. Tomorrow we play at home.”
