Eddie Nketiah - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Scores as substitute in UEL win Nketiah scored a goal in 16 minutes of play during Thursday's UEFA Europa League win over Lech Poznan.

Impact Nketiah returned from a short absence, replacing striker Jorgen Strand Larsen for the final stretch of the midweek match. The versatile forward had previously assisted in his last EPL start before suffering a mild injury, and he regained momentum with a left-footed strike in his return to action. While he might not see 90-minute outings right away, he'll look to remain a viable option in the rotation with both Strand Larsen and Yeremy Pino in striker and No. 10 spots, respectively.

Available off bench in Europa League Nketiah (undisclosed) is on the bench for Thursday's Europa League match against Lech Poznan.

Impact Nketiah was described as "a possibility" for the Eagles' European debut, and he'll wait for an opportunity off the bench. Nketiah has yet to score this season and has one assist, four shots and four chances created in three EPL starts in 2026/27.

Possibility for Thursday Nketiah (undisclosed) is a late call for Thursday's match against Lech Poznan, according to manager Pierre Sage. "He could be in the team tomorrow, because he started to train with...

Impact Nketiah had to skip Palace's last match due to an injury, but is trending towards a return soon, as the forward is now questionable for UEL play. This is likely to depend on some testing, needing to pass ahead of the match to play. That said, with the match being in UEL action, they may only allow him to play from the bench, limiting him to be cautious until they are back in league play, especially with the break around the corner.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Saturday Nketiah (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Ipswich.

Impact Nketiah has been unable to recover in time despite coach Pierre Sage suggesting he could return to training following the undisclosed issue that forced him off at halftime of the 3-2 win over Fulham. The forward had started each of Crystal Palace's first three league matches before the setback, and his continued absence gives Jorgen Strand Larsen an opportunity to build on the two goals he scored against Middlesbrough in the striker role. His availability for the coming fixtures will be monitored closely, with the competition for minutes up front set to intensify once Nketiah is back to full fitness.

Nearing training return Nketiah (undisclosed) could return to training Wednesday or Thursday after being forced off at halftime of Saturday's 3-2 win over Fulham, according to coach Pierre Sage. "Nketiah...

Impact Nketiah's injury appears to be relatively minor after he was unable to continue against Fulham, where he recorded his first assist of the season before being withdrawn at halftime. His potential return to training this week gives him a chance of being involved against Ipswich on Saturday, though Jorgen Strand Larsen has strengthened his claim for the starting striker role by scoring twice against Middlesbrough. Nketiah had started each of Palace's first three league matches, so the competition for minutes up front could increase once he is fully available.

SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Assists, subbed off at half Nketiah assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Fulham. He was injured and subbed out in the 46th minute.

Impact Nketiah recorded his first goal involvement of the season with an assist, adding a key pass and a shot on target. However, he was subbed off at halftime with a suspected injury concern. Despite starting all three opening matches, he hasn't played past the 70th minute, totaling four key passes, two shots on target, and four tackles won, steady involvement while Ismaila Sarr remains sidelined.

SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Records two shots Nketiah recorded two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 4-1 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Nketiah was back in the starting XI for a second straight match to start the season, with Palace remaining with the 3-4-2-1 over the 3-4-1-2. He would produce two shots and one chance created as he was one of their more active players in the attack. However, he still remains without a goal or assist in two appearances.

AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE

Hits post in defeat Nketiah had one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Everton.

Impact Nketiah registered one shot and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Everton, seeing a goalbound effort tipped onto the post by Jordan Pickford in one of the saves of the opening weekend and playing a key role in Palace's first-half dominance despite the scoreline. The English forward started in place of Ismaila Sarr, who was absent from the squad due to his desire to leave the club this summer, and while the Senegalese winger's situation remains unresolved, Nketiah could retain his starting role in the coming fixtures until the transfer window closes.

AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE

Starts first friendly Nketiah (hamstring) is starting Saturday's friendly against Swindon and is fit for the new season under new coach Pierre Sage, the club posted.

Impact Nketiah's inclusion in the starting lineup is an encouraging sign after a hamstring injury ended his previous campaign early, capping off an injury marred season in which he was limited to just two starts and 12 Premier League appearances with two goals. A fully healthy start to preseason under the new coaching staff gives him a chance to build momentum and compete for a bigger role in the attack heading into the new 2026/27 Premier League season.

JULY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss rest of season Nketiah will miss the rest of the season due to a new hamstring injury, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "For Eddie, unfortunately, it is the end of the season, so he won't ret...

Impact Nketiah picked up the injury in Wednesday's training session, and not only will he miss the weekend match against Newcastle, but he won't be able to return before the end of the 2025/26 campaign. It's been an injury-marred season for the striker, who has been limited to just two starts and 12 Premier League appearances this season, tallying two goals.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Nketiah suffered a setback with a hamstring injury late in Wednesday's training session after targeting a return for Thursday's Conference League clash against Fiorentina and has been ruled out for the match. He will undergo further tests to determine the severity of the issue, and his potential absence would leave fewer attacking options in the depth chart.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Eyeing return after break Nketiah (strain) is eyeing a return after the international break, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "I think after the international break, Eddie will be back for us."

Impact Nketiah is nearing a return to action as expected, with the forward now eyeing a return right after the international break. This comes after he has not played since the turn of the new year, missing the past two months of action. His return will give some more depth in the attack, notching two starts in 12 appearances this season.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Out until April Nketiah (strain) won't be available before April, according to coach Igoar Glasner. "Eddie won't be available before April. So we're pushing hard to have him back in the team."

Impact Nketiah won't be available before April after already missing the last 10 matches due to a strain injury. The forward had been operating in a reserve role prior to the setback and is likely to return to that spot once he is fit again, especially with Jean-Philippe Mateta nearing a return and Jorgen Strand Larsen arriving during the winter transfer window.

Out until April Nketiah (strain) won't be available before April, according to coach Igoar Glasner. "Eddie won't be available before April. So we're pushing hard to have him back in the team."

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Eyeing April return Nketiah (strain) is eyeing a return to play in April, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "I mentioned it [last week]: Eddie had a setback and it will take him now a few more week...

Impact Nketiah suffered a setback last week and will now be looking out at least another month out, set to return to training during March and not play again until April. This does mean the club is without two of their forwards for a bit more time, as Jean-Philippe Mateta (knee) is also out. Jordan Strand Larsen should remain in the starting XI at forward until the other two recover, hoping they can see a boost soon.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers setback Nketiah (strain) remains out as he "had a setback and we will miss him for a few more weeks.", manager Oliver Glasner confirmed Wednesday.

Impact Nketiah hasn't played since Dec. 28 while continuing to struggle with muscular problems. He previously scored twice over 12 appearances across all competitions, but he had been used mostly as a bench option, so his absence impacts the squad's attacking depth. Jorgen Strand Larsen should continue to lead the front line until either Nketiah or Jean-Philippe Mateta (knee) returns.

FEBRUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Nketiah (strain) is still not an option for the club, according to manager Oliver Glasner.

Impact Nketiah is still going to miss out as he extends his absence past a month, still not fit due to his strain. That said, the club has yet to give much on an update surrounding the player, leaving his availability in the next few weeks in question. With two starts in 12 appearances, this continues to be more of a loss of depth, with two goals in 400 minutes of play this season.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Nketiah will miss Sunday's trip to Newcastle, with manager Oliver Glasner saying "It looks like [Eddie Nketiah] is also not available. It looks like nobody will come back for this...

Impact Nketiah is expected to spend his second straight game on the sidelines while he continues to battle a muscular issue. He had alternated starts and substitute outings prior to the injury, but his exclusion will leave Yeremy Pino and Justin Devenney as the obvious choices in attacking midfield, with Christantus Uche offering an unlikely alternative.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Taking injury game-by-game Nketiah is out for Thursday's match against Fulham and is taking his injury game-by-game, according to manager Olive Glasner. "Eddie is out for this game, so let's see for the next...

Impact Nketiah is heading to the sidelines for at least a match, as the forward is dealing with some setbacks of a muscle injury. He will move forward going game-by-game, making him questionable for Sunday's match against Newcastle. This will likely leave Yeremy Pino and either Christantus Uche or Justin Devenny to start in the attacking portion of the midfield, with Nketiah only starting twice all season.

Manages knock Nketiah was forced off at halftime due to a knock during Tuesday's defeat against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup, but will be available for Sunday's clash against Tottenham, coach Oliv...

Impact Nketiah is seeing a greater role for Palace with the departure of Ismaila Sarr for the AFCON but the forward received a knock in the first half of Tuesday's Carabao Cup defeat against the Gunners that he will need to manage in the coming days. The issue seems to be minor since coach Oliver Glasner already announced that he will be available against the Spurs on Sunday. That said, if he had to ultimately miss the game or start on the bench, the young Justin Devenny will likely get a starting chance for that clash.

Nketiah eyes Conference League glory after Palace dispatch Shelbourne Crystal Palace cruised to a 3-0 win over Shelbourne in the Conference League, with Eddie Nketiah contributing with a goal and an assist.

DECEMBER 11, 2025 • BEINSPORTS.COM

Scores in win Nketiah scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Fulham.

Impact Nketiah found the back of the net with a pair of shots during Sunday's win and came away with a goal. The striker has largely been a backup this season, but was excellent during Sunday's win in a jammy clash with Fulham. Nketiah could take more minutes due to injuries or rotation, but he's unlikely to earn the top striking job.
