Daniel Elfadli - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Suspension over Elfadli is no longer suspended and is an option for the club moving forward.

Impact Elfadli is back from his ban after one game out, luckily only missing the one match through suspension. The defender should return to the starting XI now that he is an option moving forward, as he is a regular starter, with 10 starts in 12 appearances this season.

Shown red card Elfadli was shown a red card in the 50th minute of Saturday's 2-1 loss to Freiburg.

Impact Elfadli would see his marching orders Saturday, first picking up a yellow card in the fourth minute before seeing another in the 50th minute, leading to his red card. This is going to cause some changes for the club, as he has started in their past two outings. That said, he will miss the next outing and return to face Gladbach on Jan. 17, with Jordan Torunarigha likely to replace him in the starting XI.

Forced off injured Elfadli (undisclosed) was forced off with an apparent injury in the 61st minute of Saturday's 1-1 draw against Frankfurt.

Impact Elfadli replaced the injured Jordan Torunarigha in the backline in the last minute and played about one hour before being forced off after receiving treatment. The versatile midfielder said to the media that he was dealing with a cold and found it difficult to play for his first start since early November for the red shorts. Elfadli will have several weeks to recover from the new issue before the next clash in the Bundesliga.

Makes bench Saturday Elfadli (groin) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim.

Impact Elfadli is back in contention this week after recovering from a groin injury, having returned to training and been deemed fit following his absence last match. However, the midfielder is only available off the bench on Saturday rather than starting. He was a regular starter before the injury, so this bench role appears to be a transitional step as he works back toward full match fitness.

Finally deemed fit Elfadli (groin) is an option for Saturday's match against Hoffenheim, according to manager Merlin Polzin. "With Daniel, we still needed this training week so that he gets the last...

Impact Elfadli is back in contention this week after he was suffering from an injury to his groin, as he has trained and is deemed fit after barely missing out last contest. However, the midfielder will be limited, as he will not be available to start and will only see bench minutes. He was a regular starter before his injury, so he should work back into that role in the coming matches.

Still not an option Elfadli (groin) is out for Sunday's match against Werder Bremen.

Impact Elfadli trained this week, but it was not enough for the midfielder to be an option Sunday, with him still missing due to groin issues. He will then hope his return comes in their next contest, as he started in all but one game before his injury.

Impact Elfadi has been on the sidelines for around a month now, but after ramping up his training this week, the midfielder could play Sunday. However, it does appear he will need to train to be an option, likely to be tested ahead of the contest. He started in all but one game before the injury, a role he should return to once fit.

Training more, still unavailable Elfadli (groin) is out for Sunday's match against Stuttgart, but is nearing a return to action, according to manager Merlin Polzin. "With Daniel, we were able to increase the workl...

Impact Elfadli is still battling his groin injury and is not yet ready for a return, but is closing in on full fitness. He was able to start to train more this week, implying a return is not too far. He is a regular starter, so this is solid news as they will gain a starter once he is fit, starting in eight of his nine appearances.

Unavailable again Elfadli (groin) is not yet an option for Saturday's match against Augsburg, according to his club.

Impact Elfadli was back in some training this week, but is not yet an option for the club, with the midfielder set to miss another match due to his groin injury. However, he is continuing to improve his status, still progressing through training. This continues to create a hole in the defense for the club, with Jordan Torunarigha, Luka Vuskovic and Nicolas Capaldo likely to start in the defense.

Spotted running Wednesday Elfadli (groin) was spotted running on grass on Wednesday, according to BILD.

Impact Elfadli missed the last game due to a groin injury but was spotted running on grass on Wednesday, suggesting the issue is not major and that he could return before the end of November. While the game against Augsburg appears too soon for him, he could reclaim his starting role against Stuttgart on Nov. 30. Nicolas Capaldo is expected to take on a larger role for the Red Shorts while he remains out.

Suffers groin injury in training Elfadli suffered a groin injury in training on Friday and is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Dortmund, the club announced.

Impact Elfadli couldn't end the final training session on Friday since he suffered a groin injury that is ultimately making him miss Saturday's clash against the black and yellow. The defensive midfielder has been an undisputed starter for the red shorts and his absence is forcing a change in the backline, with Nicolas Capaldo returning directly to the starting XI in his place.

Impact Elfadli was an undisputed starter last season, appearing in 31 games and helping the team return to the German top flight for the 2025/26 season. The midfielder logged the most minutes in his area and is expected to maintain his key role, even more so after the board showed their confidence by extending his contract.
