Christopher Nkunku - Page 8 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Could play Saturday Nkunku (wrist) awaits a decision on his status ahead of Saturday's trip to Augsburg after training individually Friday.

Impact Nkunku has only missed a midweek DFB Pokal match so far but he's unlikely to be capable of starting by the weekend if he's limited the day before a game. If Nkunku remains out of the lineup, Dominik Szoboszlai is a safe choice to take on the creative burden following a two-assist performance against Hertha Berlin.

Undergoes wrist surgery Nkunku underwent a minor operation of a hairline fracture in his wrist on Sunday. He is expected to miss "several days" according to Leipzig.

Impact Nkunku will definitely miss Tuesday's DFB Pokal match against Hamburger SV and he may be out for next weekend's Bundesliga clash with Augsburg as well as he recovers from this wrist surgery. But it doesn't seem like he's expected to be sidelined for too long thereafter. Yussuf Poulsen could take over a spot in the XI until either Nkunku, Timo Werner (illness), Emil Forsberg (groin) or Dani Olmo (knee) is fit enough to return.

Nets in draw Nkunku scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), one cross (one accurate), and five chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against FSV Mainz 05.

Impact Nkunku has been one of the few bright spots for a Leipzig side that have massively underperformed expectations and he scored yet again Saturday. Now with seven goals in the Bundesliga in 2022/23 Nkunku looks set to contend for player of the years once more. The assists have yet to come for Nkunku, though that is mostly due to poor finishing around him as the forward has created 21 chances inside the opening nine matches.

Nets brace Nkunku scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) and four chances created in Saturday's 4-0 win against VfL Bochum.

Impact Nkunku added two more goals during Saturday's win as he continues a hot start to the campaign. The attacking midfielder hasn't been assisting the same way he did in 2021/22, but his goal-scoring is on pace to break 20 goals yet again. Nkunku remains one of the premier options in the Bundesliga in all formats.

Impact Nkunku was one of Leipzig's few bright spots on the attacking end and even had a nice chance to open the scoring still in the first half but his efforts weren't enough to prevent a loss against a superior opposition. After scoring four times over the first four matches of the campaign, the forward was scoreless over the last four contests in all competitions. Up next for him is Saturday's visit to Borussia Monchengladbach.

Fires two shots Nkunku took two off target shots during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Union Berlin.

Impact Nkunku was held off the scoresheet as Leipzig found just one goal on Saturday. The forward didn't cross or create a chance while his two shots tied for the second highest total on the team in the loss.

Scores again Nkunku scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), one cross (one accurate), and one corner in Saturday's 2-2 tie against 1. FC Koln.

Impact Nkunku has two goals in the first two matches of the season as he looks to once again compete for Bundesliga player of the year honors. The forward looked excellent with returning strike-partner Timo Werner, who will likely relegate Andre Silva to a bench role. Nkunku is arguably the top forward in the Bundesliga since the departure of Robert Lewandowski and is worth considering in any format.
