Sevilla’s plans for the highly anticipated clash against Barcelona have taken a major hit after their new signing, Nigerian forward Akor Adams, was hit with a major setback.

Akor Adams, who was eager to make his mark at the club, has been ruled out due to a serious injury. This setback not only delays his much-anticipated debut but also leaves Sevilla short on attacking options, Footballrover reports.

Akor Adams injury blow: Striker sidelined for weeks

The club confirmed that Akor Adams sustained a myotendinous injury in the rectus femoris during Thursday’s training session at Ciudad Deportiva.

The 25-year-old, who joined Sevilla from Montpellier HSC in January, has only managed nine minutes of playing time for his new team.

His hopes of making a full debut against Barcelona this weekend have now been dashed.

Although Sevilla has yet to disclose the exact timeframe for his recovery, typical rehabilitation for this type of injury ranges from four to 12 weeks.

Adams’ absence is a significant blow as the team prepares to take on the Catalan giants in a crucial LaLiga fixture on Sunday.

Sevilla adjusts after Akor Adams’ injury setback

With Adams sidelined, Sevilla will look to Isaac to lead the attack in his absence.

The team will be hoping he can step up in a high-stakes match where every attacking option matters.

For Adams, this injury is a frustrating roadblock in his attempt to establish himself at Sevilla.

However, the club is committed to supporting his recovery, ensuring he returns stronger.
