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.

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.

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.

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.
