Eddie Nketiah - Page 4 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Five goals Nketiah scored five times and assisted twice in 27 appearances (10 starts) in the Premier League.

Impact Nketiah failed to take on any major role, though his seven goal contributions were a new single-season high. The forward is a backup option for the most part, especially with Kai Havertz stepping into form. Nketiah could find his way on the way out in London with Gabriel Jesus also preferred.

Continues on bench Nketiah registered one shot in his one minute of play during Saturday's 3-0 win against Brighton.

Impact Nketiah continues to only see time off the bench, as he only played for a minimal one-minute Saturday. The forward has yet to start in a match since Dec. 3, registering 119 minutes of play across his eight appearances since then. He will most likely continue seeing small portions of time on the field for the rest of the season, as Kai Havertz seems to be the club's number one option at forward now and Gabriel Jesus coming in as a close second, with Nkeitah now being demoted to a third-string role.

Impact Nketiah bagged the opening goal of Tuesday's contest, scoring in the 42nd minute off of a Reiss Nelson assist. This was Nketiah's first goal in the UCL and his 6th overall on the season. He continues to be a second option up top despite starting against PSV, with Gabriel Jesus holding the starting spot since returning from injury. However, he still has managed to find minutes off the bench, appearing in all but three matches this season.

Impact Nketiah missed a Wednesday clash with Sevilla via an ankle injury so it's likely he's among those fighting for a place before the international break. When it Nketiah has established himself as an impressive attacking option, leading the line with five goals in nine Premier League starts.

NOVEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Wednesday Nketiah will not be available against Sevilla on Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

Impact Nketiah will have to wait to make his first Champions League start of the season, having come off the bench or been an unused substitute in the prior three outings. In his last five contests, the forward racked up three goals on 10 shots (four on target), though all three tallies were scored in a single contest. Leandro Trossard will feature in the starting XI in Nketiah's stead. At this point, it seems unlikely Nketiah will be ready in time to face Burnley on Saturday with the short week, though he hasn't been officially ruled out.

NOVEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

First Premier League hat-trick Nketiah scored three goals from four shots (three on target) in Saturday's 5-0 thrashing of Sheffield United.

Impact Nketiah was starting in place of Gabriel Jesus, who suffered a hamstring injury in midweek. He scored his first Premier League hat-trick with two clinical finishes topped off with a long-range screamer. The striker has proved himself to be a reliable understudy and he is likely to start at least the next two Premier League games with Jesus not expected to be fit until after the international break.

OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores as subtitute Nketiah scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Fulham.

Impact Nketiah scored in the 72nd minute to give Arsenal the 2-1 lead, but they conceded again later and couldn't win at home. That was his second goal in the season. The forward started in their previous two games and will now look to reclaim his spot in the squad.

AUGUST 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Earns PK in road win Nketiah recorded three shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Monday's 1-0 win versus Crystal Palace.

AUGUST 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores opening goal Nketiah scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Nketiah scored Arsenal's opening goal of the match on a thunderous strike into the bottom corner from within the box. Other than his goal the 24-year-old had a fairly poor game, only contributing three shots in a game controlled by Arsenal. He was given the start in Saturday's season opener due to Gabriel Jesus still being sidelined with a knee injury but could be back on the bench as early as next match. Jesus is still considered a game time decision for the Crystal Palace match but if he is considered healthy Nketiah could be back to his normal bench role.

AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mostly backup option this season Nketiah held his own during an extended run in the XI during the first few months of 2023, but he remains Arsenal's backup option at striker behind Gabriel Jesus .

Impact Nketiah scored four goals and averaged 3.4 shots (1.1 on target) per game across a nine-match run as the starting striker after Jesus went down with a knee injury during the winter World Cup, but he recorded just one assist and zero goals from 21 appearances all off the bench throughout the rest of the campaign outside of that stint. The 24-year-old is a capable backup for this Arsenal side, but he's unlikely to grow into a starter unless there's another injury next season.

Among substitutes on Sunday Nketiah is fit and in the match day squad to face West Ham on Sunday.

Impact Nketiah returns from an ankle injury which has kept him out since the first week of March. The forward starts from the bench and will compete with Leandro Trossard for minutes backing up Gabriel Jesus.

APRIL 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

In contention Sunday Nketiah (ankle) is set to return against West Ham United on Sunday. Manager Mikel Arteta told reporters, "Eddie is back and is fully fit now."

Impact Nketiah looks poised to return for the first time since March 1 versus Everton, a stretch of seven games on the shelf. Given his extended layoff, the forward may have to settle for a spot on the bench the first time out before truly being in the mix for a place in the starting XI.

APRIL 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pictured in training Nketiah (ankle) was seen training with the ball individually Tuesday.

Impact It is a positive sign to see Nketiah back on the training grounds and practicing with the ball since missing more than a month with an ankle injury. A further update on his status should come during Mikel Arteta's press conference this week, but in any case, it does not look like the forward will make the starting XI in his first start back until he returns to full match form.

APRIL 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Training on grass Nketiah (ankle) has began training individually on the grass, reports James Green of Sky Sports News.

Impact Nketiah is likely to return at some point in April after he began to train individually Friday. He has begun to work on his fitness and looks to return to team training in the next coming weeks. Leandro Trossard has been starting at striker in his place, but will have to compete for that starting role back with him once healthy/.

Few weeks away from returning Nketiah (ankle) is recovering well but is still expected to be out for a few weeks, "He's getting better. He's still in the boot so still a few weeks away. We need to be patient -...

Impact Nketiah is still wearing a boot on his ankle and is not expected to return until the middle to the end of April. This is tough news for the forward to hear, who has gotten the start in nine of the last 11 matches while scoring four goals on 31 shots (10 on target) in that span. Gabriel Martinelli will remain at striker, and with Gabriel Jesus back, seems to be that Nketiah will drop in the depth start while sidelined.

MARCH 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Fulham Nketiah is not in the match day squad to face Fulham on Sunday.

Impact Nketiah remains out as he continues to recover from an undisclosed issue. The forward's playing time may be limited in the future regardless of health with Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Jesus both back to full fitness.

Game-time call Thursday Nketiah (undisclosed) will be a game-time call for Thursday's clash with Sporting, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "Let's see how they evolve, obviously we have had a few issues...

Impact Nketiah is making his way back from a knock, and has had limited time to recover due to the hectic schedule. In the two matches before the injury the forward had come off the bench, though he had started and gone 90 minutes in nine straight matches prior to that.

MARCH 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fitness test for weekend Nketiah (undisclosed) is still be assessed and his availability for Saturday's clash against Bournemouth is "uncertain," according to Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta on Friday.

Impact Nketiah suffered an injury in the mid-week win over Everton, making him a game time call for the Bournemouth match on Saturday. Leandro Trossard is likely to continue as the starting center forward for now, though Gabriel Jesus (knee) is also nearing his return to the squad and should take over up front once he's back at full fitness.

Impact Nketiah was rested/benched the last two matches following a run of poor form and it seems like Leandro Trossard is the preferred option up top going forward. Nketiah had a couple good performances early, but he failed to get a shot on target in his last four starts from 12 shots. With Gabriel Jesus expected back soon, Nketiah's role in the side seems likely to diminish, whether healthy or not.

MARCH 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes four shots against Man City Nketiah failed to hit the target with any of his four attempts in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Man City.

Impact Arsenal was rarely able to get the ball to Nketiah and when they did, the young striker lacked the composure to put any of his chances away, although he did win the penalty that led to his team's only goal. He has not scored or registered an assist in his last three games and will aim to find the net against Villa on Saturday to help keep his side's title dreams alive.
