Chidera Ejuke out for the foreseeable future

Hertha BSC will have to do without Chidera Ejuke for the time being. Due to a ligament injury in his knee, which he sustained during the friendly against The Villages SC, Hertha’s attack will miss the upcoming training sessions and matches. It means that the winger will be out for the restart of Bundesliga action at VfL Bochum (21.01.23, 15:30 CET). The Nigerian will make his journey home to Berlin on Tuesday. "Of course, this is a great pity for Chidi and for our team, he has an invigorating energy both on and off the pitch due to his positive attitude,” explained Sandro Schwarz, but he is already looking ahead with confidence: "We are working from this moment onwards to ensure that he can join us as soon as possible."

Fredi Bobic assured our number 40 of his full support: "An injury at such a time is always tough to take. Chidi will get all the support he needs and, after his return to Berlin, he will be treated carefully and reintroduced to team training as quickly as possible.”
