Edson Alvarez - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Sits on bench after being ill Alvarez stayed on the bench in Saturday's match against Everton after being ill during the week.

Impact Alvarez had started the prior four matches, but he was removed for Lucas Paqueta in the XI on Saturday. While Graham Potter has used an overly defensive approach in recent matches, Alvarez had been subbed off before the 70th minute in his last two starts and with Paqueta healthy again, he may not be guaranteed to start going forward.

Option for Saturday Alvarez (strain) is an option for Saturday's match against Brentford, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Alvarez looks to be back in the fold for Saturday after time out due to a strain, with the midfielder having trained this week. This is solid news for the club after he missed their last match due to a strain, but he appears to have overcome that injury. He is a regular starter, starting in 15 of his 20 appearances, so he will hope to see the start if fit Saturday.

Impact Alvarez is on the sidelines for the time being, with the midfielder suffering an injury ahead of Monday's match.

Impact Alvarez accurately placed a cross on the forehead of his teammate midway through the second half Sunday to level to do his part in leveling the fixture at one. The central midfielder also produced a team-high six tackles (three won), one clearance and one block over his 89 minutes of play. The assist marked Alvarez's first Premier League goal contribution this season over 19 appearances (14 starts).

Impact Alvarez is back in the fold after picking up a suspension, with the midfielder serving his one-match ban. He is now an option moving forward, making him available to face Arsenal on Saturday.

Sent off Saturday Alvarez was shown a second yellow card and sent off during Saturday's clash with Nottingham Forest.

Impact Alvarez was minutes from halftime before he was shown a second yellow card and sent off. The midfielder is now going to serve a one-game ban against Everton, meaning he won't be back in Premier League action until after the international break.

Sees red in Carabao Cup Alvarez was sent off in the 76th minute of Wednesday's 5-1 Carabao Cup loss to Liverpool and has received a one-match suspension.

Impact Alvarez will be heading to the sidelines for a match following his sending off Wednesday. This will force him to miss Saturday's match against Brentford. He has started in their past three matches, so this will force a change, with either Vladimir Coufal or Tomas Soucek taking his spot. Alvarez will next be available to face Ipswich Town on Oct. 5.

Progressing well Alvarez (hamstring) has been "progressing well", but will not be an option for Saturday's trip to Crystal Palace, according to manager Julen Lopetegui.

Impact Alvarez is making steady progress in his recovery from a serious hamstring injury suffering over the summer. He is not yet ready to return to Premier League action yet, but he is aiming for a return at some point in September. In the meantime, new signing Guido Rodriguez will continue to start in the defensive midfield during his absence.

Trains individually Alvarez (hamstring) has been training individually ahead of Saturday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Alvarez suffered a pretty serious hamstring injury that forced him to withdraw from the Copa America tournament at the end of June. It was a good sign to see the midfielder back on the pitch and training on the grass alone. Though it is unlikely that he will return for the opener against Aston Villa, he could see a come back before the end of August, depending on his progress.

Serves well as holding-midfielder Alvarez appeared in 31 games (28 starts), registering one goal on 17 shots and one assist on 12 chances created.

Impact Alvarez was brought in to act as a holding-midfielder in the highly defensive tactics of David Moyes, and that was exactly what he did, not being all that great in the attack with his two-goal contributions but providing greatly in the defense with his 42 interceptions, 70 clearances and 80 tackles. This was his first season with the club, and he has four years remaining on his contract despite rumors of a possible move this summer, though it could happen if interested clubs meet West Ham's demands after a disappointing year.

JUNE 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Draws four fouls in win Alvarez had three tackles (two won), five interceptions and four fouls drawn in Saturday's 2-1 win against Wolves.

Impact Alvarez returned from his two-match suspension and had one of his better fantasy days, as he didn't even commit a foul. While he doesn't have upside as a defensive midfielder, he'll rack up defensive stats no matter the opponent. He's suspended for the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final against Leverkusen, but he's set to feature in the XI every match the rest of the way following that contest.
