Assists in loss Antonio Nusa assisted once to go with three shots (zero on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Mainz.

Impact Nusa recorded his second assist of the campaign and his first since mid October by delivering a beuatiful cross that Conrad Harder headed home. He also attempted three shots and created two additional chances. Across his last five appearances, Nusa has sent in 15 crosses, created five chances and attempted 19 shots, posting at least three shots in every match while scoring once.

Plays 30 minutes against Freiburg Nusa (ankle) generated four shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one scoring chance created as a substitute in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Freiburg.

Impact Nusa gave his side an offensive boost in his return from a minor injury, although he failed to make the score sheet during the win. He participated in training sessions since earlier in the week and could be ready to start soon if he continues to recover form and fitness. The winger, who has scored and assisted once in 13 appearances this season, might share playing time with Tidiam Gomis and Assan Ouedraogo on the left flank in upcoming fixtures.

Picked for Wednesday Nusa (ankle) is an option for Wednesday's match against Freiburg, according to his club.

Impact Nusa had partially trained this week and looks to have now trained fully, with the attacker fit for Wednesday's contest. The winger has been a starter when fit, although last time he returned from injury, they were cautious and integrated him from the bench. He has one goal and an assist this campaign in 12 appearances.

Training partially Nusa (ankle) is doing parts of team training this week, the club announced.

Impact Nusa missed the last two games of the year due to an ankle injury he hasn't fully recovered from since he is only doing parts of team training this week. That said, this update is positive since it suggests he is nearing a return in the coming weeks and should claim back his undisputed starting role on the left wing once fully back fit. Until then, Tidiam Gomis is a likely option to get the starting spot in the frontline.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Could miss rest of year Nusa suffered an ankle injury in Saturday's 6-0 victory against Frankfurt and could miss the rest of the year, according to BILD.

Impact Nusa ended Saturday's larger victory against Frankfurt with an ankle injury that could make him miss the rest of the year to recover. The winger will for sure miss Friday's clash against Union Berlin and is already a doubt for next week's fixture against Leverkusen. Nusa has been an undisputed starter in the frontline of Leipzig this season, therefore his absence will force a change, with Yan Diomande likely starting on the right wing and Johan Bakayoko getting a starter role on the left side of the frontline.

Records two shots Nusa generated two shots (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and three chances created in Friday's 0-0 draw against Monchengladbach.

Impact Nusa would record two shots Friday but was far from finding the back of the net, with neither hitting the target. This continues a rough streak for the attacker, now four games without a goal contribution, and he will go without one in November. He remains at one assist and one goal this season after recording three in both categories in 25 appearances (16 starts) last campaign.

NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Opens league scoring account Antonio Nusa scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 6-0 victory versus FC Augsburg.

Assists in win Antonio Nusa assisted once to go with four shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win against Hamburger SV.

Impact Nusa provided a single assist Saturday and made the most of his only chance created. The winger has been in and out of the starting XI, but he has major upside as long as he remains a consistent part of the first team. Nusa would be one of the main beneficiaries if Leipzig can figure out a consistent starting three in the attack.

OCTOBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Makes bench vs. Wolfsburg Nusa (forearm) is on the bench for Saturday's game against Wolfsburg.

Impact Nusa will be an option off the bench for Leipzig, and his pace could be useful in game where the team needs an extra punch in the attacking third. Nusa has started in two of his three appearances this season, but he's yet to record a goal or an assist.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Begins to train Nusa (forearm) is partially training Tuesday and set to train fully Wednesday, according to his club.

Could return against Wolfsburg Nusa (forearm) has undergone successful surgery and could be an option for their match against Wolfsburg on Sept. 27, according to his club.

Impact Nusa has already completed surgery on his fractured forearm and will now start his road to recovery. That said, the attacker could already be back in the team as soon as their next match, when facing Wolfsburg, with the return for him not too far away. He has started in two of the club's three games this season and was set to be a starter, so he will hope to return to full fitness soon.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Breaks forearm Nusa is out for the time being and will receive surgery after suffering a broken arm, according to his club.

Impact Nusa is heading to the sidelines and will undergo the knife, as the attacker suffered a broken arm Saturday. This is unfortunate for the player, after he started in two of their three games to begin the season, with Conrad Harder or Yan Dioamande as possible replacements moving forward. He will likely miss at least a month with the injury, likely to begin training again in a few weeks with some sort of cast.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Solid debut campaign Nusa scored and assisted three times in 25 appearances (16 starts) in the Bundesliga.

Impact Nusa's first campaign in the Bundesliga was an immediate success. The winger was brilliant in a variety of roles and showed improvement throughout his time with Leipzig. Nusa's role should only grow next season, especially with his excellent partnership with Xavi Simons.

MAY 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Substitute option Saturday Nusa (knee) is on the bench in Saturday's visit to Eintracht Frankfurt.

APRIL 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Late call against Frankfurt Nusa (knee) is a late call for Saturday's clash against Frankfurt, according to his club.

APRIL 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will resume partial training soon Nusa (knee) will be integrated partially to team training next week, the club announced.

Impact Nusa has been sidelined since early February with a knee injury and has been training individually for the past few weeks. He is expected to rejoin team training on a partial basis next week and could be available before the end of the month or in early May. He was a regular starter before the injury and is expected to compete for that role once fully fit, although there has been a coaching change since then so it means he will need to prove himself to the new manager.

APRIL 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still working individually Nusa (knee) is still working individually and not yet an option, the club announced.

Impact Nusa has been sidelined since early February due to a knee injury but is progressing well in his recovery, although he is still working individually at the moment.

Still training inside Nusa (knee) is still training indoors, RBLive reports.

Impact Nusa remains on the sideline and is not yet in team training. The hope originally was to get the winger back after the international break, but he was unable to do so. Nusa will hope to get back for an April 5 clash with Hoffenheim, though that seems unlikely at this point.

Out for one month at least Nusa (knee) was forced off in Sunday's 2-0 win over St. Pauli after picking up a knee injury in a duel. Following examinations earlier this week, the club announced he will be side...

Impact Nusa sustained a knee injury in Sunday's match and will be out until the end of March. This is a significant blow for the team, given his contributions since joining in the summer of 2024, with five goals and seven assists in 32 appearances. Lois Openda is expected to take on a major role in his absence.

FEBRUARY 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers injury, trains individually Nusa has suffered an injury and was forced to train individually Tuesday, according to his club.

Impact Nusa is the newest player to hit the injury list for Leipzig, with the winger suffering from an undisclosed injury that forced him into limited training. That said, he will be questionable for Friday's match against Augsburg, likely being a late call. He is a regular starter, so this is something to monitor, with Lois Openda as his likely replacement.
