Coach of Sevilla Garcia Pimienta has explained why the Nigerian duo of Childera Ejuke and Kelechi Iheanacho weren’t in his matchday squad for the 1-1 draw against Valencia, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
The duo were conspicuously missing from the matchday squad as Sevilla left it late to draw 1-1 against Valencia, who are currently bottom of the league table. The result lifted Sevilla to 13th on the log.
Pimienta while speaking before the game explained that both players won’t be in the matchday squad due to fitness issues. Iheanacho is working his way back to match fitness after picking up a knock in training.
For Ejuke, the coach explained that the winger isn’t fully fit yet after returning from an almost three months injury lay off. He said it will take a while before he gets back to his level.
Both players who were signed in the summer have not really made a huge impact in the team , and reports suggest that the club are willing to listen to offers for Iheanacho in the January transfer window.
