Takes five shots off the bench Jabbari took five shots (three on goal), drew two fouls, and committed two fouls in 45 minutes in Saturday's 4-0 loss to Nashville SC.

Impact Jabbari was brought on at halftime for Kenji Boma Dem and helped breathe some life into the FC Cincinnati attack. He came close to scoring on multiple occasions, and Jabbari could be in line for more playing time if he continues to be dangerous. Up next is a home clash with D.C. United on Saturday.

Stoppage time assist Jabbari assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus San Diego FC.

Impact Jabbari came on as a substitute for Kevin Denkey in stoppage time in Saturday's 3-3 draw against San Diego and made an immediate and decisive impact, providing the precise pass that Tom Barlow converted just seconds later at 3-3 to deny San Diego all three points and complete a dramatic Cincinnati comeback from 3-2 down in the final moments. The Moroccan midfielder, who operates as a box-to-box presence capable of arriving late in dangerous areas, made his presence felt despite only touching the ball a handful of times before delivering the match-saving contribution. Jabbari has now contributed two assists across 12 MLS appearances this season, with his cameo against San Diego his most impactful intervention in a Cincinnati shirt since arriving last summer.

Returns as bench option Jabbari (leg) was available from the bench in Wednesday's 5-3 loss against Inter Miami, marking his return to the matchday squad after being sidelined with a leg issue.

Impact Jabbari has mainly been contributing as a substitute for Cincinnati this season, sitting behind Kevin Denkey and Kenji Mboma Dem in the depth chart, so his return adds useful depth rather than shaking up the starting lineup. The club will continue to build his fitness through further bench appearances before considering any expanded role heading into the final games before the World Cup break.

Leg injury rules him out Jabbari is currently sidelined because of a leg issue, the MLS reported Friday.

Impact Jabbari is still working his way back into Cincinnati's lineup after being used as a substitute in the last six league games, and the leg injury sidelines him at least for one fixture. His direct fantasy impact has been limited given where he sits in the depth chart behind Kevin Denkey and Kenji Mboma Dem. No timeline has been provided for Jabbari's recovery.

Key assist in draw Jabbari assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Toronto FC.

Impact Jabbari's weighted through ball assisted Cincinnati's second half stoppage time goal Saturday as they earned a 1-1 draw at Toronto. The assist was the forward's first career MLS assist. After making eight appearances (one start) in 2025, Jabbari has made seven appearances (four starts) across Cincinnati's first seven fixtures in 2026.

Joins permanently Jabbari has permanently signed with Cincinnati from Grenoble, according to his club.

Impact Jabbari joined Cincinnati on loan this season and will make the move to the club permanently, inking a deal through 2028 with an option for 2029. This comes after starting in one of his eight appearances with the club, only joining midway through the campaign. He will likely look to earn a bigger role next season, although that will depend on his play.

Substitute option against Columbus Jabbari (leg) is on the bench in Sunday's game versus Columbus Crew.

Impact Jabbari was inactive for a couple of matches before recovering ahead of the weekend's duel. He was often a backup player even when fully fit, and that is expected to remain the case in the near future, with Brenner and Kevin Denkey remaining the most active forward on the squad.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out for first leg Jabbari is out for Monday's match against Columbus due to a leg injury, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Jabbari is absent for the first leg of Cincinnati's opening playoff series, with the forward dealt a leg injury. The good news for the club is that this is a minor absence, only starting in one of his five appearances this season. He will look for a return during the MLS playoff campaign, although his availability moving forward is up in the air.

Loaned to Cincinnati Jabbari has been loaned to Cincinnati from Grenoble, according to his new club.

Impact Jabbari is going to join Cincinnati for the backend of the 2025 campaign, with the forward inking a loan deal through the rest of the season. He is a towering forward with a solid repertoire, earning three goals in 26 appearances last season with Grenoble. That said, he will probably be a depth option, seeing most of his time later off the bench.
