Cyril Ngonge - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Still out for Sevilla clash Ngonge (knee) remains unavailable and is ruled out of Saturday's clash against Sevilla, according to coach Manolo Gonzalez. "Only Ngonge is out for the game."

Impact Ngonge had missed Sunday's defeat against Real Madrid with a left knee contusion and has been unable to recover in time for the weekend fixture. Ruben Sanchez is expected to continue covering on the right wing in his absence as Espanyol push through the final fixtures of what has been a difficult survival battle season.

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.

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.

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.
