Cyril Ngonge - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Heads back to Napoli Ngonge will return to parent club Napoli following the conclusion of his loan spell at Espanyol, the club announced.

Impact Ngonge joined in the January transfer window and made nine La Liga appearances including six starts, contributing two assists during his time with the Catalans. The Belgian winger had limited impact during a short spell in Spanish football but leaves with the gratitude of the club as Espanyol close the chapter on what proved to be an underwhelming loan stint for the attacking midfielder.

Impact Ngonge had arrived in the winter window as Espanyol's only January reinforcement and his absence was an untimely blow for a side still fighting to secure their top-flight status. Ruben Sanchez stepped in to cover on the right wing against Real Madrid and is expected to hold that role until Ngonge is cleared to return, with the club monitoring his knee over the coming days before setting any return timeline for the Belgian attacker.

Impact Ngonge wasn't involved because he was sick and will try to shake it off in time for Wednesday's contest with Udinese. He's usually the third or fourth option up front. Duvan Zapata and Alieu Njie picked up the slack, and the latter had a strong showing off the bench.

Provides spark versus Lecce Ngonge registered four shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Lecce.

Impact Ngonge came in at halftime and was a thorn in the opponent's side but couldn't come through, smacking the post on his best attempt. He has been used as a super sub since joining in January, scoring once and adding 17 shots (five on target), nine key passes and 20 crosses (six accurate). He hit the net six times and dished two assists while still at Verona.

Impact Ngonge drew his first start since joining Napoli and had a sound display, but his side exploded offensively after he left the pitch. He will be unavailable against Frosinone on Sunday due to yellow-card accumulation. Matteo Politano will likely return to the starting XI, with Jesper Lindstrom providing depth.

Plays one minute in Barcelona clash Ngonge (thigh) came off the bench very late in Tuesday's 3-1 defeat versus Barcelona.

Impact Ngonge made his return from a five-game absence but barely got any playing time. Matteo Politano and Giacomo Raspadori are both in good form, so he'll have to fight for minutes in the upcoming matches, and his role is unlikely to grow.

MARCH 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Ngonge (thigh) is on the bench for Tuesday's clash with Barcelona.

Impact Ngonge is back on the bench for Tuesday's clash after missing five matches in all competitions due to the thigh injury. Even when fit Ngonge was left on the bench for four matches in a row before the injury. Still he saw consistent chances off the bench and should see some role, especially if a late goal is required Tuesday.

MARCH 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Available versus Barcelona Ngonge (thigh) has been selected for Tuesday's match against Barcelona, Napoli announced.

Impact Ngonge is fit after sitting out five fixtures due to a thigh injury.

He has scored twice and added nine shots (four on target) and five crosses (one accurate) in his last five showings.
