Nigerian footballers Kelechi Iheanacho and Chidera Ejuke are set to feature in tonight’s highly anticipated La Liga match between Las Palmas and Sevilla.
Iheanacho and Ejuke aim to bounce back from disappointing seasons and make a significant impact in La Liga with Sevilla. Iheanacho, known as the ‘Senior Man,’ has struggled to replicate his 2020/21 form, where he scored 12 league goals for Leicester City.
Ejuke, on the other hand, has not managed to score more than five league goals in any of his last four seasons with various clubs.
Sevilla’s new manager, Garcia Pimienta, is eager to start strong after successfully keeping Las Palmas in the league last season.
Facing his former club adds extra intrigue to the match. Despite Sevilla’s difficulties on the road last season, they did secure a victory against Las Palmas.
Pimienta has hinted at a powerful attacking trio featuring Iheanacho, Isaac, and Peque. “I’m not confirming the starting lineup, but we’re considering playing Iheanacho and Isaac together,” he said. “Their ideal positions are upfront, and we’re working on a system to accommodate both of them.”
In another La Liga fixture on Friday, Celta Vigo will face Alaves live on StarTimes. Last season, Alaves finished in 10th place, just five points ahead of Celta Vigo, who ended in 13th.
