Dimitri Foulquier - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Advances to partial training Foulquier has progressed to partial team training following February knee surgery and is nearing a return to full squad activities, according to Cope.

Impact Foulquier underwent surgery on his left knee on February 12th at Valencia. He has now progressed from individual training to completing part of his sessions alongside his teammates, putting him in the final stretch of his recovery process. That shift from solo work to group training is a clear sign of progress, and the expectation now is a gradual reintegration into full team activity until he is training at the same pace as the rest of the squad, which would put him back in contention for a right-back spot he has held as a regular starter at Valencia.

Continues individual training Foulquier (knee) is progressing in his recovery but remains unlikely to feature in early preseason matches while continuing to train separately, according to nostresport.

Impact Foulquier has been working his way back from a left knee injury that required surgery earlier this year, and while the club's update is encouraging in terms of his overall trajectory, it also makes clear that a return to matches is not imminent. He remains apart from group training at this stage of preseason, and Valencia are managing his reintegration carefully given the procedure he underwent.

Undergoes successful surgery Foulquier underwent a successful knee surgery Thursday and will now begin his recovery, the club announced.

Impact Foulquier underwent arthroscopic knee surgery Thursday and is set to begin a recovery process that could sideline him for the rest of the season. The right-back is targeting a late-season return at best, making this a significant blow to the depth chart. His absence leaves Thierry Correia as the lone natural option to step in at right-back, especially after just working his way back from injury.

Set for knee surgery Foulquier is set to undergo surgery on his knee and could miss the rest of the season, according to his club.

Impact Foulquier is in need of surgery and will receive the treatment in the coming days, an arthroscopic surgery on his knee. This is going to keep the defender out from anywhere from two to six months, depending on the operation, as a minor surgery could keep him out around two months while a more major operation is anywhere from four to six months recovering. This will leave Thierry Correia to start at right-back moving forward, as Folquier waits on the extent of his recovery.

Misses due to discomfort Foulquier (undisclosed) missed Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Real Madrid due to muscular discomfort, according to Marca.

Impact Foulquier was labeled the only available right-back for Sunday's showdown against Real Madrid by coach Carlos Corberan despite dealing with muscular discomfort. The defender ultimately sat out the match, while Thierry Correia returned from injury during that contest. Foulquier will be evaluated over the coming days to determine the extent of the issue, though there is no urgency to push him back now that the Portuguese defender is available again.

Impact Foulquier missed the last four games due to a knee injury that he has fully recovered from since he was training normally this week and is back available for Friday's clash against Levante.

Impact The right-back is dealing with a knee issue that has been getting more and more complicated with each passing week.

Struggling with muscular issue Foulquier is in doubt for Saturday's trip to Girona due to a muscular issue, according to Jornada Perfecta.

Impact Foulquier is in doubt for Saturday's clash as he struggles with a muscular issue for the second straight week. He played the full 90 last time out, despite missing training before that match as well. There's hope that he's fit and available for a full 90 once more, but with this issue lingering, there's a chance Thierry Correia is brought into the starting XI.

Impact Foulquier will be an option to feature in the final game of the 2024/25 campaign.

Logs assist in draw Foulquier delivered an assist, had one off-target shot, sent in two crosses (one accurate) and made two clearances during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Girona.

Impact Foulquier assisted Diego Lopez's opener with a great pass from the right flank in the 58th minute but other than that didn't really have substantial contributions for fantasy purposes. This was the first assist of the season for the full-back and, as it may suggest, he shouldn't be counted on for major statistical impact on the attacking end.

MARCH 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact The defender left Monday's training session before it ended, and while there's no certainty of the length of the injury, he won't be able to return for the match against Rayo. It wouldn't be surprising if he spends at least a couple of games sidelined given the complicated nature of hamstring injuries.

Impact The right-back played 23 minutes off the bench against Real Betis the last time out, and now the defender will be completely ruled out of this match against Los Blaugranas. This means Thierry Correia is likely to start on the right side of the defense as long as Foulquier remains sidelined.
