Arthur - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Signs contract extension until 2031 Arthur signed a contract extension with Leverkusen until June 2031, three years before his previous deal was set to expire, the club announced.

Impact Arthur joined the Werkself from America Mineiro in January 2023 and has established himself as an important part of the squad despite suffering serious injuries that have slowed his development at times. Sporting director Simon Rolfes expressed confidence that Arthur can be a key figure in shaping the club's future, praising his footballing qualities and commitment to Leverkusen while acknowledging the injuries have temporarily hampered what has been a promising trajectory. Arthur made his debut for the Brazil senior national team in the same year he joined the club, and expressed deep gratitude for the family environment at Leverkusen, describing the extension as an impressive show of trust that he intends to repay with performances and total commitment as the club continues to push for major honours in the years ahead.

Impact Arthur had been working his way back through individual sessions and ball work before being deemed ready for competitive minutes, and his appearance against Koln is a significant milestone in what has been a lengthy rehabilitation process. The Brazilian right wing-back will now look to build on those 18 minutes as Leverkusen manage his return carefully over the final fixtures of the season, with the club clearly pleased to have him back in the mix heading into the business end of a campaign that still has plenty at stake.

Trains partially with ball Arthur has taken a significant step forward in his recovery by returning to ball work in training for the first time since suffering a syndesmotic ankle tear around six weeks ago,...

Impact Arthur had been limited to individual running sessions since returning to the training pitch two weeks ago, making Tuesday's session with the ball a meaningful progression in his rehabilitation. The Brazilian right wing-back is still some way from full team training and a return to competitive action in the coming weeks remains the realistic target. Leverkusen will manage his reintegration carefully given the nature of the ankle injury before considering any involvement in the final stretch of the campaign.

Running on grass Arthur (ankle) is running on grass Wednesday, according to his club.

Impact Arthur is back in training this week after around a month-long absence due to an ankle injury, with the midfielder running on the training pitch but not viewed with teammates. This leaves a return in the next match still up in the air, likely needing to train with his team first, and now more likely to return against Dortmund on April 11.

Out a few weeks Arthur suffered a torn syndesmotic ligament in his ankle and is out for the next few weeks, according to his club.

Impact Arthur went off early Sunday and has walked away with brutal news, now out likely until at least April due to an ankle injury. Unfortunately, this is a tough loss after he started in two of his past three outings. That said, Lucas Vazquez is also about to miss a few matches as well, leaving the club in a hole to find a new right-back, with Axel Tape as a possible option.

Forced off Arthur was forced off just before halftime in Saturday's clash against Mainz due to an apparent injury, the club announced.

Impact Arthur was forced off in the 45th minute of Saturday's clash against Mainz due to an apparent injury and was replaced by Axel Tape. The right wing-back will undergo further tests in the coming days to determine the severity of the issue. Jonas Hofmann is likely to see increased minutes if his absence is confirmed, especially with Lucas Vazquez also sidelined for several weeks.

Assists in victory Arthur recorded an assist, created two chances, and completed one accurate cross during Saturday's 2-0 win over FC Koln.

Impact Arthur has continued to impress creatively since returning from injury, registering two assists in his last two Bundesliga appearances. He already has more goals and assists than he managed all of last season for Leverkusen, reflecting a significantly expanded role in the side this year. He will face a tough test next against RB Leipzig, who currently sit one place above them in third.

Returns to bench Arthur (back) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Augsburg.

Impact Arthur missed the last three games due to a back injury he suffered in training two weeks ago, but the right midfielder is back available for Saturday's clash against Augsburg. His availability is still encouraging for the Werkself since Lucas Vazquez (strain) remains out and Nathan Tella is not yet at 100 per cent, leaving the right flank short of options. Even though Arthur started his last six appearances prior to the injury, he returns to the bench this time as he works back toward full match rhythm.

DECEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Should be back against Augsburg Arthur (back) should be back for Saturday's clash against Augsburg, coach Kasper Hjulmand said in a press conference, according to BILD.

Impact Arthur missed the last three games due to a back injury he suffered in training two weeks ago, but the right midfielder is expected to be back for Saturday's clash against Augsburg. This is decent news for the Werkself since Lucas Vazquez (strain) is still sidelined and Nathan Tella is still not 100 per cent fit, therefore his return will boost the right flank that Jonas Hofmann had to cover in the last outings for Leverkusen. Arthur started his last six appearances prior to his injury and should claim back a similar role once fully back fit.

DECEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still not an option Arthur (back) is out for Saturday's match against Dortmund, according to manager Kasper Hjulmand.

Impact Arthur will remain out for yet another match as he deals with a back injury, a third straight match missed for the midfielder. This is a rough trend for the club, as he started in six straight outings before his injury. He will have more competition when he returns, as Axel Tape (hamstring) is nearing a return to action.

Remains out Saturday Arthur (back) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Wolfsburg.

Impact Arthur will remain out for Saturday's clash against Wolfsburg after the final assessment on Friday did not clear him for involvement. The right full-back suffered a back injury earlier this week in training, and the issue has not improved enough to allow him to take part. He will miss the match entirely as the medical staff prioritizes his recovery before he can push for a return.

NOVEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Late decision Saturday Arthur (back) is a late decision for Saturday's clash against Wolfsburg, coach Kasper Hjulmand said in a press conference, according to Rune Gjerulff from Bulinews.

Impact Arthur will be assessed after the final training session on Friday to know if he can be deemed fit enough for Saturday's clash against Wolfsburg. The right full-back suffered a back injury earlier this week in training and this is the reason of the question mark. Arthur will however claim back a starting role if deemed fit enough to feature on Saturday.

Suffers back injury in training Arthur suffered a back injury in Wednesday's training session and was forced off the pitch as he couldn't continue, according to Kicker.

Impact Arthur is a doubt for Saturday's clash against Wolfsburg after suffering a back injury in Wednesday's training session. The Brazilian tried to continue but was ultimately forced off the training pitch as the pain became too strong. This is a major blow for Leverkusen since they are already dealing with numerous injuries, and with Lucas Vazquez (back) and Axel Tape (hamstring) still sidelined and Nathan Tella (knee) likely too limited to start after returning, the options on the right flank are thin, which will likely suggest Ernest Poku will start in that spot against the wolves if Arthur misses out.

NOVEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Assists first goal of season Arthur had an assist with his lone chance created while crossing twice (one accurate) during Saturday's 6-0 win over Heidenheim.

Impact Arthur set up Ernest Poku in the 27th minute assisting Leverkusen's fourth goal of the match. The assist was the first goal involvement this season for the wing-back as he's combined for three shots, a chance created and eight crosses over his last three Bundesliga starts.

Bench option Arthur (illness) is on the bench for Thursday's match against Copenhagen.

Impact Arthur is back with the team after overcoming his illness, with the defender fit enough to earn a spot on the bench. This is good news for the player and club as they gain some depth in their lineup, starting in one of his three appearances on the team sheet this season, going unused once.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available against Copenhagen Arthur (illness) is in the squad list for Thursday's clash against Copenhagen in the Champions League.

Impact Arthur has recovered from his illness and is back available for Thrusday's opener against Copenhagen in the Champions League. This is good news for the Werkself, although he will likely hold a rotational role on the right flank behind Lucas Vazquez this season.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out due to illness Arthur is out for Friday's game against Frankfurt due to illness.

Impact Arthur was a late removal from the squad that will play this Friday. He'll hope to recover in time to be an option for the UCL clash against Copenhagen on Thursday, but even if that's the case, he's likely to be a backup in midfield, behind Robert Andrich and Exequiel Palacios, or at center-back behind the trio of Edmond Tapsoba, Loic Bade and Jarell Quansah.

Returns in Pokal Arthur (ankle) returned to the team during Friday's DFB Pokal clash.

Impact Arthur was back in the team for training earlier in the week and now returned to the first team in the Pokal. The defender is expected to open the season as the starter on the flank, though he will have to compete with new signing Ernest Poku. Nathan Tella is also in the mix as a more attacking option on the flank.

AUGUST 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back in team training Arthur was back in team training on Tuesday after suffering an ankle injury in the pre-season friendly against Pisa, according to Kicker.

Impact Arthur suffered an ankle injury in the pre-season friendly against Pisa, but it was revealed to be only minor as he returned to team training on Tuesday. That said, Leverkusen has signed Ernest Poku since then, which will considerably reduce Arthur's playing time. Reports say he could be on the move during the transfer window, although that might only happen toward the end of the window since the club is currently in a difficult situation with injuries.
