According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, the Nigerian winger has been nursing a specific discomfort for some time, raising uncertainty about his availability for the highly anticipated encounter against the Catalan side managed by Hansi Flick.
Ejuke was absent from full team training, although he was present at the training facility where he carried out light individual exercises away from the main pitch. The development has prompted the club’s medical staff to closely monitor his condition in the coming days.
Team officials are expected to make a late assessment on his fitness before deciding whether he will be available for selection when they face Barcelona on Sunday.
The medical team will evaluate his progress during the remaining training sessions to determine if he can recover in time for the match.
Ejuke has been an important attacking option for his side this season, contributing with his pace, dribbling ability, and creativity in the final third.
His potential absence could therefore represent a significant setback as the team prepares for a demanding contest against one of Spain’s strongest teams.
The upcoming clash against Barcelona is expected to be a challenging test, and the coaching staff will be hoping the Nigerian winger can recover quickly and return to full fitness in time to be part of the squad.
For now, all eyes remain on Ejuke’s recovery as the club awaits further updates on his condition ahead of Sunday’s fixture.
