Aymen Barkok - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Appears in pre-season Barkok (face) appeared for 25 minutes in Saturday's friendly.

Impact Barkok ended last season early after undergoing facial surgery in April. However, the midfielder has now returned, as he received time off the bench Saturday. That said, this should clear him for the start of the new season, likely to serve in more of a rotational role.

Nets first Mainz goal Barkok scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Friday's 2-2 draw versus Monchengladbach.

Impact Barkok joined Mainz in 2022/23 and just now earned his first Mainz goal after scoring four for his previous club. The attacking midfielder remains a bench option more often than not and one goal isn't likely to change his situation. Still in a Mainz side where points are crucial, Barkok could be in in line for more minutes while he is in good form.

Reserve again Barkok logged only three games started across his 23 appearances of FSV Mainz 05's 2022-23 season.

Impact Transferring from Eintracht Frankfurt to FSV Mainz 05 yielded pretty much the same results for Barkok. Primarily used as a reserve then, that trend continued this season. So unfortunately for Barkok, he does not enter the 2023-24 Bundesliga as a promising option, unless circumstances are so dire that the Mainz team needs him to play.

Assists off bench versus Bochum Barkok made an assist after coming off the bench during Saturday's 5-2 win over Bochum.

Impact Barkok was brought in the 62nd minute to replace Lee Jae-Sung and didn't produce anything noteworthy for fantasy purposes until the 87th minute, when he made a brilliant pass for Karim Onisiwo to score his third goal and seal the 5-2 win. This was the first appearance on the scoresheet of the season for the playmaker, who will hope to keep getting playing time during the upcoming matches.

Three crosses in draw Barkok recorded three shots (one on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against VfB Stuttgart.

Impact Barkok sent in three crosses but failed to get on the scoresheet Saturday. The midfielder has had plenty of success when able to get forward but has largely struggled for starting time since joining Mainz. Barkok would be an interesting upside play during his rare starts.

Just six appearances Barkok has made six appearances (no starts) totaling 77 minutes in the first half of the Bundesliga.

Impact Barkok has been an absolute non-factor since joining Mainz from Frankfurt, with his six appearances totaling less than a full match of playing time. The midfielder simply hasn't found a place in the squad and remains a non-factor for fantasy purposes.

Takes up role on bench Barkok is fit and in the match day squad to face FC Bayern on Saturday.

Impact Barkok suffered a knee injury during training in the buildup to the match, but has been deemed fit enough for a role amongst the substitutes. Barkok has played just 26 minutes in three appearances as a backup option for Mainz.

Departs training with bruised knee Barkok (knee) had to depart training with a bruised knee, Kicker.de reports.

Impact Barkok had to depart training after picking up a knock to his knee. The midfielder has made just three appearances off the bench, so it's possible he wouldn't be rushed back if the knee issue proves to be more serious than initially feared. Barkok has yet to really break into the first team even as a rotational option since joining Mainz.

Leaves for AFCON Barkok (strain) has been called up by Morocco to compete in the African Cup of Nations.

Dealing with slight strain Barkok is dealing with a slight ligament strain, according to manager Oliver Glasner.

Impact Barkok should still be available Saturday, though likely off the bench, which is normal for his status in the team. The midfielder isn't a major fantasy asset when healthy or injured and is best left out of fantasy rosters.

Impact Barkok is making his return to the starting XI in the Europa League. The midfielder has been back in full team training so it makes sense that he'd be ready for a full return.

Returns from training injury Barkok (knee) is available for Saturday's clash with RB Leipzig, according to manager Oliver Glasner.

Impact Barkok is back after about two weeks out with a knee injury he picked up in training. The midfielder doesn't figure to be a major part of the starting XI, and is best left out of fantasy rosters even when healthy.
