Andrew Omobamidele - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Decent loan in Alsace Omobamidele played 10 Ligue 1 matches for Strasbourg during the 2024-25 season while on loan from Nottingham Forest.

Impact Omobamidele delivered reliable performances when called upon, showing composure in defense and calm under pressure for Strasbourg during his half-season loan spell in Alsace. His presence contributed to Strasbourg's ability to shut out opponents in key fixtures. Omobamidele is now heading back to his parent club Nottingham Forest since Strasbourg is unlikely to activate the purchase option in his loan contract according to reports.

Impact Omobamidele found himself on the wrong side of the scoresheet Sunday, scoring the only goal of the match after he put one in the back of his own net in the 29th minute. However, outside of the own goal, he was decent in the defense, notching ome tackles, two interceptions and a couple of clearances. He has now started in the club's past two contests, registering three interceptions, four tackles and 10 clearances in his 180 minutes of play.

Goal in start Omobamidele got the start and scored during Wednesday's 3-2 win over Blackpool.

Impact Omobamidele got onto the starting XI and got on the scoresheet straight away. The center-back won't be a consistent goalscoring threat but the goal is a nice confidence builder as he looks to potentially step into some run in the first team after joining from Norwich City. The amount of playing time Omobamidele sees is likely dependant on what happens with Joe Worral and Scott McKenna in the January transfer window.

Pens five year deal with Forest Omobamidele is making a move to the Premier League after agreeing to a five-year deal with Nottingham Forest from Norwich City.

Impact Omobamidele spent the las three seasons with EFL side Norwich City, totaling 140 clearances on 39 starts in 50 appearances since 2020. He is set to join his first Premier League club at just the age of 21 with three years of Championship football experience under his belt.

Andrew Omobamidele looks like Norwich's next big thing The defender is showcasing his talent in the Championship and is expected to be back for Norwich's next Championship match against Blackpool

SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Shut down for season Omobamidele (back) has been officially ruled out for the remainder of the 2021-22 campaign.

Impact The news shouldn't come as a surprise considering Omobamidele hasn't played since Dec. 5 against Tottenham due to his back problem. Even prior to his absence, the defender struggled to break into the starting XI with any consistency, so his continued absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players.

Remains without tiemline Omobamidele is still struggling with a back issue and is out for the unforeseeable future, according to manager Dean Smith. "He's still struggling so we expect him to be out for th...

Impact It's unfortunate for Omobamidele, who has been out since early December and hasn't really been completely healthy for an extended period this season. While he's a backup defender, he's had no chances to earn a bigger role under manager Dean Smith.

FEBRUARY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers setback in recovery Omobamidele (back) had a setback in his recovery and won't be available versus Manchester City on Saturday. Manager Dean Smith told reporters, "Andrew has suffered a setback with h...

Impact After missing the previous eight matches, it appeared as though Omobamidele was nearing a return to the pitch but unfortunately will miss out for the ninth consecutive contest. Even prior to suffering his back injury, the central defender was an unused substitute in nine of the team's last 13 contests and is unlikely to push for a regular spot in the starting XI even once given the all-clear.

FEBRUARY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected back soon Omobamidele (back) is training and should be an option for next week's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Dean Smith.

Impact Omobamidele has been out since early December with a back issue, but it looks like he's ready to fight for minutes again. Of course, he has just four starts this season and probably won't get much time unless injuries on the back line pile up.

FEBRUARY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Targeting February return Omobamidele (back) is expected to be fit either by the FA Cup clash against Wolverhampton on Feb. 5 or the following Premier League game versus Crystal Palace on Feb. 9, Norwich ma...

Impact Omobamidele has been out with a back injury since December, and he is still a few weeks away from being fit enough to return. Even when healthy, he has started just four Premier League matches for Norwich this season.

JANUARY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains without timeline Omobamidele (back) does not have a timeline to return, according to manager Dean Smith. "Andrew had a scan and there's some improvement but it's a slow burner."

Impact Omobamidele hasn't played since Dec. 5 and it looks like he's set to miss another few weeks. If Norwich add some players in the transfer window, there may not be a spot available to him in the squad. He's currently on four starts for the season.

JANUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out another 10 days Omobamidele will miss at least 10 more days with a back stress injury, according to manager Dean Smith.

Impact Omobamidele has been out since Dec. 5 and will likely be out until mid-January unless he can make a quicker than expected return. He's had trouble staying healthy, which has limited playing time, and he'll hope to recover fully in the next couple weeks.

DECEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined with back problem Omobamidele (back) is expected to be out for another 2-3 weeks. Manager Dean Smith told reporters, "Andrew (Omobamidele) is out still, he's got a stress response in lower back so h...

Impact At this point, Omobamidele will likely be sidelined for the remainder of December due to his lingering back problem. Even once cleared to play, the defender is far from a lock for the starting XI and will likely only see limited opportunities to get onto the pitch.

DECEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out with injury Omobamidele missed Saturday's defeat against Manchester United with back issues.

Impact Omobamidele will undergo tests this week so find out what the problem is, and he is questionable for Tuesday's clash against Aston Villa.

DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Plays off bench with Ireland Omobamidele (undisclosed) played 28 minutes off the bench in Sunday's match for Ireland, returning from a minor injury.

Impact Omobamidele wasn't included in Ireland's prior match, so it looks like he's back to full health and will be an option for Norwich's next game. It's unknown what his role will look like under a new manager, as Dean Smith was just announced Monday.

NOVEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up injury over break Omobamidele wasn't included for Ireland's squad Thursday because of injury.

Impact This injury kind of came out of nowhere for Omobamidele, who has started the last two matches for Norwich, one at left-back and the other at center-back. The hope is that it isn't major because he'll need to be healthy once he gets back from international duty to impress the new manager.

Impact Omobamidele found the back of the net in the 58th minute scoring Norwich's lone goal of the match. The goal was the first of the season for the defender while he finished with team-high totals in blocks, interceptions, tackles and clearances in the loss.

Will be option Saturday Omobamidele (tonsillitis) has been training and will be an option for Saturday's trip to Manchester City, according to manager Daniel Farke.

Impact Omobamidele will be an option Saturday and could move into the starting XI after getting a lot of time in preseason friendlies. Of course, going against Man City, it won't matter who Norwich have on their back line.

AUGUST 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Doubt for opener Omobamidele is a doubt for Saturday's opener against Liverpool because of tonsillitis, according to manager Daniel Farke.

Impact Omobamidele had started a few recent friendlies, but it looks like tonsillitis could move him out of the squad for the opener. He's not considered a regular right now, but he's expected to fight for minutes on the back line all season.
