Adams is expected to sidelined for several weeks after sustaining a thigh injury against Atletico Madrid last week.

Pimienta has however assured that the Nigerian is still in contention to make an appearance for the club this term.
“It’s been a difficult week, after three consecutive defeats, but the team just wants to turn this situation around. Unfortunately, we had the double blow of the injuries to Akor and Vargas, as well as Tanguy’s long-term injury, but they want to turn the situation around,” Pimienta told the club’s official website.
“I feel really bad for Akor and Rubén. It looks like they’ll be out for several weeks, and we’ll see whether they make it back in time for the end of the season, it all depends on how they progress.
“The worst thing that can happen to a player is getting injured because they can’t help the team.”
Adams joined Sevilla from Ligue 1 club Montpellier in January.
The 25-year-old has made four league appearances for the Rojiblancos.
