Impact Ejuke missed the last eight La Liga matches for Sevilla due to a hamstring injury sustained in late October.

Impact Ejuke suffered the injury in late October, and the speedy forward has been progressing well in his recovery.

Assists yet again Ejuke assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-1 tie against 1899 Hoffenheim.

Impact Ejuke has now assisted in three straight matches continuing his good form with his new club. It remains to be seen if the left-winger will offer a scoring touch to go with this assisting but Ejuke is single-handedly making the Hertha offense tick at the moment. Ejuke has become a nailed-on starter on the left-wing, where he should thrive opposite Dodi Lukebakio.
