Provides assist in defeat Tuanzebe assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Manchester United.

Impact Tuanzebe returned from suspension and recorded his first assist of the season on one of Jaden Philogene's goals at Old Trafford on Wednesday. He also made an impact defensively with a season-high three interceptions, though it was not enough to help his team secure points against Manchester United. He will look to build on this performance in their next Premier League match next Saturday against Forest.

Suspension over Tuanzebe is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Sees bench appearance Tuanzebe appeared for 26 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 6-0 loss to Ipswich Town.

Impact Tuanzebe was finally back in action Saturday, with the defender ending a nine-match layoff due to a hamstring injury, last appearing at the end of November. He had started in all nine appearances before Saturday and will look to return to that spot after testing his legs. His main concern now will be maintaining fitness, as he has already missed 13 games through injury this season.

Still weeks away Tuanzebe (hamstring) remains weeks away from a return, according to manager Kieran McKenna.

Set for long-term absence Tuanzebe (hamstring) will be sidelined for the long term after picking up an injury against Nottingham Forest, manager Kieran McKenna told media Monday.

Impact Injuries have slowed down Tuanzebe's career, and the 2024/25 season hasn't been the exception. A regular starter when fit for Ipswich Town, the defender is now expected to miss several weeks. Expect Dara O'Shea to take Tuanzebe's place on the right side of the defense.

Comes off injured Tuanzebe was forced off in the 79th minute of Saturday's 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest due to a hamstring injury.

Impact Tuanzebe had to come off late into Saturday's match due to an injury, with it appearing to be a hamstring injury for the right-back. He will now be set for assessment and hope for only a minor issue, as he is a regular starter when fit and has already missed four games this season due to injury. He was replaced by Harry Clarke, who would most likely continue seeing time at right-back if Tuanzebe misses more time.

Impact Tuanzebe still has not seen an exact timeline on his return from a thumb injury he picked up around a week ago, with the only confirmation being that he will miss out until after the international break.
