Aaron Wan-Bissaka - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Ruled out for three to four weeks Wan-Bissaka (hamstring) has been ruled out for three to four weeks after sustaining an injury during Saturday's 1-0 Premier League victory over Newcastle United, according to coach...

Impact Wan-Bissaka faces a spell on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury during the closing stages of Saturday's victory over Newcastle. The defender was forced off late in the second half despite delivering a strong performance, with coach Emery initially expressing concerns about a potential muscular problem. The manager has now confirmed that Wan-Bissaka is expected to miss between three and four weeks. His absence represents a setback for Villa's defensive rotation, particularly with Matteo Ruggeri (hamstring) also sidelined. However, Ian Maatsen (ankle) returned to team training Tuesday and could provide an additional option in defense, although he may need time to regain full match fitness. Wan-Bissaka will likely target a return in mid-to-late November, depending on his rehabilitation progress.

Tending to hamstring injury Wan-Bissaka is believed to have suffered a hamstring injury, manager Unai Emery told media after Saturday's 1-0 win over Newcastle United. "I think it's hamstring for [Wan-Bissaka]...

Impact Wan-Bissaka left the game late in the second half, and while further tests are needed to confirm the injury, a hamstring injury could sideline the defender for several weeks. However, Emery confirmed that Ian Maatsen (ankle) is expected to resume training with the group in the coming days, so he could take his place at right-back.

Exits with apparent injury Saturday Wan-Bissaka exited Saturday's game against Newcastle United with an apparent injury.

Impact The specifics of the injury are uncertain, but Wan-Bissaka left the contest with an injury midway through the second half and was replaced by Pau Torres. Villa are dealing with an injury crisis when it comes to full-backs, so Torres could be a last-minute emergency option if Wan-Bissaka is forced to miss time. His status should be uncertain for Wednesday's match against Viking in the UCL.

Solid at left-back in clean sheet Wan-Bissaka registered two tackles (one won), three clearances and two interceptions in Wednesday's 6-0 win against Fenerbahce.

Impact Wan-Bissaka earned a start on the left flank against Fenerbahce after taking over for Matteo Ruggeri at the interval in his previous appearance. The full-back produced a stout defensive display, registering two tackles, two interceptions, two blocks and three clearances to help Aston Villa keep their first clean sheet with him in the side. With Ruggeri sidelined for an extended period and Ian Maatsen still recovering from an ankle injury, with another two weeks until he returns, Wan-Bissaka looks likely to hold the role for now, though coach Unai Emery could look at other solutions during a packed schedule.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Sees 45 minutes off bench Wan-Bissaka generated two tackles (one won), two clearances and one interception in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Brentford.

Impact Wan-Bissaka entered at halftime following Matteo Ruggeri's injury, contributing two tackles, two clearances and one interception during his 45 minutes on the pitch. The defender had started Villa's previous three Premier League matches before being moved to the bench for Saturday's encounter. He has accumulated 11 tackles, six interceptions and eight clearances across five league appearances, including two starts. His ability to operate on either defensive flank could prove valuable if Ruggeri faces an extended absence, potentially opening the door for Wan-Bissaka to regain a starting role.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Settling into starting role Wan-Bissaka has started in Aston Villa's last three matches between the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.

Impact Wan-Bissaka joined Villa late in the transfer window but hasn't needed much time to adjust to life at Villa Park. In those three starts, a span in which Villa have posted a W2, L1 record, Wan-Bissaka has notched 80 passes, 10 tackles, six interceptions and 11 clearances while also creating two chances and sending five crosses. His ability to impact both ends of the pitch should keep him as the starter on the right side of Villa's defense for now.

SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Decent defensive shift in loss Wan-Bissaka recorded one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Wan-Bissaka made three interceptions, four clearances and five tackles (two won) across 90 minutes as Villa's right-back, effectively containing Dan Ndoye throughout a match where the Forest winger registered five shots but only one on target in their direct duel. He also had one inaccurate cross from his only delivery attempt, keeping his focus primarily on defensive duties. Wan-Bissaka has started the last two games across all competition for Aston Villa and will continue to do so until Matty Cash (undisclosed) returns from injury.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Makes Aston Villa debut Wan-Bissaka recorded two tackles (one won) in Monday's 1-0 defeat against Arsenal.

Impact Wan-Bissaka replaced Matty Cash in the 78th minute Monday, making his club debut after joining on loan before the season. He won one tackle and winning two duels in his 12 minutes of action. He may find it difficult to start over Matty Cash when both are healthy, but Wan-Bissaka should still see a decent amount of playing time even if he's not a regular starter.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Aston Villa on loan Wan-Bissaka has joined Aston Villa on a season-long loan from West Ham, with a conditional obligation to buy, the club announced.

Impact Wan-Bissaka came through Crystal Palace's academy before spending five years at Manchester United, where he won the FA Cup and EFL Cup and made nearly 200 appearances, then joined West Ham for the past two seasons, recording 33 tackles, 40 interceptions and 94 clearances across 25 Premier League appearances last season. The DR Congo international featured for his country at the 2026 World Cup and is expected to bring competition for Matty Cash at right back.

Option again after absence Wan-Bissaka is an option to play again after he was kept in Congo following their qualification for the World Cup, according to The Standard.

Impact Wan-Bissaka was not in the club's return match from the international break after he was kept in Congo to celebrate with his teammates following their first World Cup qualification since 1974. However, the full-back is now set to rejoin his team and play again, having trained with his teammates on Tuesday. This will give the club their starting right-back available again, likely to return to that role immediately as they face Wolves on Friday.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Records two crosses Wan-Bissaka recorded two crosses (zero accurate) and three tackles in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Manchester City.

Impact Wan-Bissaka would enter the starting XI again after sitting on the bench for an FA Cup match, seeing the start at right-back. He would see two crosses in the attack, not his best day, as his team was forced to defend most of the match. He also added three clearances and three tackles in the defense.

Makes five clearances in draw Wan-Bissaka recorded five clearances, two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Bournemouth.

Impact Wan-Bissaka was involved mostly in defensive work as his team managed to obtain another point and clean sheet despite giving up ball possession. The right-back has completed 90 minutes in each of the last six league games while delivering two assists in one of those outings. In terms of defensive production, he's now averaging 4.4 clearances, 2.9 balls recovered and 1.7 interceptions per match over the current Premier League campaign.

Brace of assist Wan-Bissaka assisted twice to go with two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-2 defeat versus Chelsea.

Impact Wan-Bissaka was involved in both goals for West Ham on Saturday with two assists while also winning two tackles and producing two shots on target. Since his return from injury, the defender has started the last three league appearances, winning five tackles, one blocked shot and three key passes.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Plays full 90 in return Wan-Bissaka started and played 90 minutes in Sunday's 2-1 win over QPR.

Impact Wan-Bissaka returned from international duty this week and was on the field immediately, with the defender starting on the right in FA Cup play and playing the full 90 minutes. This comes after close to a month out, set to now take part in every match moving forward. He has only missed two starts all season when fit and should remain a starter on the right moving forward.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Ends international duty Wan-Bissaka is heading back to London after completing his international duty with DR of Congo at the AFCON and should be back available for the clash against Tottenham on Jan. 17.

Impact Wan-Bissaka was eliminated with DR of Congo from the AFCON and will now head back to London and be back available for West Ham United moving forward. The right back has been an undisputed starter for the Hammers prior to his international duty and should claim back that role against Tottenham on Jan. 17.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Off with Congo Wan-Bissaka has been called up by the DR of Congo for AFCON and is unavailable for the next few weeks.

Impact Wan-Bissaka is going to leave a gap in the team for West Ham over the next couple of weeks, as the defender is serving at AFCON. Unfortunately for the club, this will mean they are without their starting right-back, leaving a hole to be filled. That said, Kyle Walker-Peters will likely earn more time while he is out, with Wan-Bissaka likely to return mid-January, depending on his national team's results.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Creates four chances Sunday Wan-Bissaka had one cross (one accurate) and four chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Brighton.

Impact Wan-Bissaka, who had created six chances in his first 10 appearances of the season, created four in Sunday's draw with Brighton. He also recorded one accurate cross on the attack. He played well on the defensive end too as he won four duels, made six clearances, intercepted three passes and won one tackle in his full 90 minutes of action.

Impact Wan-Bissaka had a strong defensive outing, with a season high three tackles, three interceptions and five clearances, one of which was crucial off the line. He also contributed offensively with a season-high two chances created.

DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Skillful defending in win Wan-Bissaka had one cross (zero accurate) and two tackles in Saturday's 3-2 win against Burnley.

Impact Wan-Bissaka's proficiency in one-on-one defending was on full-display Saturday in West Ham's 3-2 victory over Burnley. The veteran full-back produced a team-high five interceptions while also making four clearances and two tackles (one won). Wan-Bissaka is averaging 4.2 clearances per appearance across his last five appearances (four starts).

NOVEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Finds spot in starting XI Wan Bissaka (illness) is in the lineup for the London Derby clash with Arsenal on Saturday.

Impact Wan-Bissaka is making his return to the pitch after missing the last month with an illness. He has regained his spot int he starting XI, having already two starts from there, recording one won tackle, two chances created and six clearances.

OCTOBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Wan-Bissaka was sidelined the past few weeks with an illness, but appears to be set for a return after training this week. This is good news for the club, as they will be adding depth back to the flanks of their defense. The question now is if he has any more favor with the new manager, Nuno Espirito Santos, as Kyle Walker-Peters had won the role at right-back, but that could change under new management.

OCTOBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Wan-Bissaka (illness) is out for Monday's trip to Everton, according to manager Graham Potter."We'll still be without Aaron with his stomach problem, but that's it."

Impact Wan-Bissaka has now missed three matches with a stomach bug, which is quickly becoming a more serious concern. His continued absence should keep Kyle Walker-Peters in the starting XI. Wan-Bissaka started the first two matches of the season, but was unconvincing at best as West Ham struggle for stability.
