The 26-year-old returned to action eight minutes before the game ended as a substitute in Sevilla's 2-1 triumph over Girona at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi.
According to El Correo de Andalucia, he said after the game, "I was happy to be able to go with the team because I hadn't been in this routine for a long time.
“So I was happy to have the opportunity to go with the team and even more excited to have come in in the final minutes to contribute a little to the team. I felt happy, you know, it's like a good step back.”
Ejuke added that it will take some time for him to fully recover his level of agility and sharpness.
He continued, "I'm already, I think, obviously, because of how I was injured this time, for this period of time, obviously it will go little by little, but I feel good.
"What I said, I'm excited to be back now. I hope everything goes game after game and we'll see how it goes.”
The Nigerian winger is expected to play some role in Sevilla's upcoming matchup against relegation-threatened Espanyol at home on Saturday.
