Daichi Kamada - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Impact Kamada will need at least eight to 10 weeks to recover from a serious hamstring injury that he suffered against Manchester City on Sunday. The Japanese midfielder will likely be targeting a return in late February at best, for the clash against Wolves on Feb. 21, although a return in early March could also be an option. This is a big blow for Palace, since Kamada is an undisputed starter in midfield and his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Will Hughes or Jefferson Lerma set for greater roles in the heart of the game while he is out.

Impact Kamada appears to be heading for the sidelines until likely the new year, as the midfielder suffered a hamstring injury that will keep him out for a few weeks. With the midfielder not having missed out since the second match of the season, this is a major blow to the club. With an expected return in a few weeks and likely not coming until the first or second week of January, this will force a change, with Will Hughes and Jefferson Lerma set to receive more time.

Picks up hamstring injury Kamada was forced off in the 67th minute of Sunday's match against Manchester City due to an apparent hamstring injury.

Impact Kamada would go down near the 70th minute Sunday and was immediately clutching the back of his leg, indicating a hamstring injury as he left the field. This is a tough loss for the club if he continues on the sidelines for more time, as he has yet to miss a start since the second match of the season. He was replaced by Will Hughes, a possible replacement moving forward alongside Jefferson Lerma.

DECEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in draw Kamada had two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Brighton.

Impact Kamada had a day to forget against Brighton, as he failed to put either of his shots on goal and his lone cross was wayward. The midfielder just couldn't find any room to operate against Brighton and had to settle for a draw. Kamada has started the last nine matches, but has no goal contributions and just six chances created in that span.

NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Features off bench Kamada (undisclosed) featured 25 minutes off bench in Thursday's 3-1 victory against AZ, confirming he is fully fit moving forward.

Impact Kamada was forced off with an issue in Saturday's win against the Bees but it revealed to be only minor since the midfielder featured 25 minutes in Thursday's 3-1 victory against AZ. This is good news for Palace since Kamada has been an undisputed starter this campaign and will likely hold that role on Sunday against the Seagulls.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Forced off Saturday Kamada (undisclosed) suffered an apparent issue and was forced off in the 78th minute of Saturday's 2-0 victory against Brentford.

Impact Kamada contributed two shots and one tackle before being forced off in the 78th minute of Saturday's clash against the Bees due to an apparent issue. The attacking midfielder will likely be assessed in the coming days to get a better vision of the issue and if he has to miss some time to recover. If this is the case, Justin Devenny will likely see a greater role in the midfield for Palace.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Still no goal contributions in draw Kamada had five crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Kamada was active as a midfield playmaker Saturday, but with limited impact. 35 of his 39 passes were completed (90%) and he accurately placed eight of his nine long balls, however only one of his five crosses hit the target and he was unable to place any shots on goal. The regular starter is yet to make any goal contributions this season.

Impact Kamada returned well ahead of his initial schedule from his knee injury as he played 89 minutes in Thursday's clash against Fredrikstad and had no adverse reaction after the game. This is good news for Palace as he is back fit and available following the recent departure of Eberechi Eze to Arsenal, which leaves him with a greater role in the attacking midfield under coach Oliver Glasner.

Impact Kamada recovered from a knee injury and started Thursday's clash, going 89 minutes and sealing a place in the league phase. The fact he was able to play almost the entire match is a great sign that he's recovered from the knee issue. He figures to take on a larger role after the sale of Eberechi Eze to Arsenal.

Impact Kamada has been out for the opening two games of the season but is now on the mend for Sunday's tilt, with the attacker recovered from his knee injury a few weeks earlier than expected. He started in 15 of his 34 appearances last season and was given more of a rotational role, not scoring a single goal contribution. That said, he will likely be a bench option Sunday, hoping to see some time to test his legs.

AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Sunday Kamada (knee) won't be available to face Nottingham Forest on Sunday, manager Oliver Glasner told media during Friday's pre-match press conference. "I don't think [Kamada will be f...

Impact The Japanese playmaker is nearing a return to action, but Sunday's game against the Trick Trees will be too soon for him. Kamada should see consistent playing time when he's back to full fitness, and based on Glasner's words, he should be in contention to make his EPL debut against Aston Villa on Aug. 31, right before the international break.

Impact Kamada suffered an injury in the Community Shield win over Liverpool last Sunday and will be forced to sit out the EPL opener.

Impact Kamada will be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the knee injury he suffered in Sunday's Community Shield victory against the Reds. The Japanese was forced to leave the pitch before the half-hour mark and was in pain. Although coach Oliver Glasner said that Kamada feels it's not a major injury, he could miss one or two games to recover according to the coach. Until he is fully fit, Will Hughes is expected to see increased playing time for Palace.

AUGUST 11 • ROTOWIRE

Grows into role Kamada didn't record a goal or assist in 34 appearances (15 starts) last season, producing 20 shots and 20 chances created.

Impact Kamada struggled in his first season at Crystal Palace, failing to make the score sheet standing out the most. He opened the season in an attacking role, but once Ismaila Sarr stole a spot in the XI, Kamada eventually moved back in the formation and ended the season in a deeper central role where he often started next to Adam Wharton, including in the FA Cup final. Of course, a deeper role means even fewer attacking stats.

Registers three shots Kamada generated three shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Nottingham Forest. In addition, he was given a yellow card in th...

Impact Kamada saw the start for a third straight match Monday, although he would come off in the 87th minute, not seeing the full 90 for the first time during that spell. He would also debatably see his best match of the spell, notching two tackles won, two crosses and three shots. However, he still has yet to record a goal contribution in 31 appearances (14 starts) this season.

MAY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Two shots from bench Kamada had two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 5-0 defeat versus Newcastle United.

He would see a little bit of work in his time on the field, notching two shots, two crosses and a chance created. However, he still has yet to see a goal contribution in his 28 appearances (12 starts) this season.

APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE

Takes two shots in easy win Kamada generated two shots (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 win versus West Ham United.

Impact Kamada has started in two of Palace's last three league matches, tallying three shots and three chances created in those two contests. However, his inconsistent role, as well as his lack of goal contributions, limit his upside considerably in most formats.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Available once more Kamada is available for Saturday's clash with Manchester City after serving a three-match ban.

Impact Kamada picked up the ban for a straight red card against Fulham and missed essentially a full month. The midfielder is now available once more, and could see some immediate minutes in the attack for Saturday's clash with Manchester City.

Sees red Saturday Kamada was shown a straight red card during Saturday's clash with Fulham.

Struggling to make impact Kamada has yet to score or assist for Crystal Palace across seven appearances (four starts) this season.

Impact Kamada joined the Eagles after spending the 2023/24 season with Lazio in the Italian Serie A, but he has struggled to replicate the form that made him one of the best playmakers in the Bundesliga only a few seasons ago. Kamada has four shots (one on target) and six chances created across those seven outings.

OCTOBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Signs with Crystal Palace Kamada has agreed to a two-year contract with Crystal Palace after leaving Lazio as a free agent, the club announced.

Impact Kamada had a good second half of the season at Lazio, but he had inked a short-term deal, and the parties didn't reach an agreement to prolong it. He reunites with his former Eintracht Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner in London and is set for a prominent role in the midfield. He tallied two goals, two assists, 33 shots (10 on target) and 25 chances created in 36 appearances (20 starts) in 2023/2024, while he was more productive during his time in the Bundesliga.

JULY 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Kamada had one of the best opportunities to score Sunday but was denied by sharp goalkeeping from Alessio Cragno. The Japanese attacking midfielder has contributed two goals and two assists from 29 appearances (17 starts). He scored in Lazio's last match which was against Inter.

Scores against Inter Kamada scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two interceptions and two chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Inter Milan.

MAY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Serviceable against Monza Kamada registered one shot (one on goal), two tackles (two won), one interception and two chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Monza.

Impact Kamada did a little bit of everything as usual and was instrumental in the opening goal, challenging Michele Di Gregorio with a potent shot from outside the box, leading to Ciro Immobile's tap-in. He has made the XI in six straight fixtures, posting one assist, six shots (one on target), nine key passes and 14 tackles (10 won).
