Ellyes Skhiri - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Back from suspension Skhiri is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Back with team Skhiri (international duty) is back with his team and is an option moving forward, according to manager Dino Toppmoller. "Tomorrow, Ellyes will return to the squad."

Impact Skhiri was likely to be an option for the match against Stuttgart and is, with the manager confirming he is not only back with the team but is now an option. He has started in seven of his nine appearances this season and will hope to reclaim a starting role moving forward, still without a goal contribution this campaign.

Will return for Stuttgart game Skhiri (international break) will return to his club Monday, according to manager Dino Toppmoller. " Ellyes will join the team again next Monday"

Impact Skhiri is not yet an option for the club despite the end of his AFCOM campaign, as the midfielder was instead resting for a week back at home. He will now return Monday and begin to train again, leaving him an option to face Stuttgart on Tuesday. He will look to start upon his return, starting in the tto games before his absence begun.

Getting extra rest Skhiri (not injury related) will be out of action for another week while he recovers from his participation in the Africa Cup of Nations, according to his club.

Impact Skhiri was heavily involved for Tunisia during the continental tournament, so he's likely dealing with fatigue, and he won't be an option for Friday's clash with Borussia Dortmund. The midfielder previously made nine Bundesliga appearances in the 2025/26 season, tallying 318 accurate passes, 11 interceptions and eight clearances over that span. Both Hugo Larsson and Mahmoud Dahoud should see increased playing time until Skhiri rejoins the squad.

Playing with Tunisia Skhiri has been called up by Tunisia for the AFCON starting Dec. 21 and ending Jan. 18.

Impact Skhiri was called by Tunisia for the AFCON and will miss all the games until at least the clash against Stuttgart on Jan. 13. The midfielder has been a regular starter in the heart of the game for Frankfurt, therefore his absence will have to be compensated, with Mahmoud Dahoud and Hugo Larsson as the two main options to pair in the pivot.

Quiet in draw Skhiri registered one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Wolfsburg.

Impact Skhiri was back in the starting XI on Sunday, but he was in his normal defensive midfield role, which limits his offensive upside heavily. Skhiri took a single shot and sent in a single cross, but most of his volume will come defensively. Skhiri has also rotated consistent with Fares Chaibi taking on a role as a deep-lying playmaker.

Training in full but eased back Skhiri has been training in full but will be eased back into the next fixtures, coach Dino Toppmoller said in the press conference. "We are glad that Ellyes is back. It was unfortu...

Impact Skhiri has fully recovered from his knee injury and was back available on the bench for the game against Hoffenheim before the international break. The midfielder has been training in full but will be eased back into action in the coming games to avoid any setbacks. Skhiri was an undisputed starter in the midfield last season and will likely get that role back once at full fitness. Until then, Fares Chaibi is getting an increased role in the midfield for the Eagles.

Returns to bench Skhiri (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim.

Impact Skhiri has been cleared to return but will only start Saturday's match on the bench. He had been dealing with undisclosed issues and passed a late fitness test after resuming training this week. With the club taking a cautious approach, he may be eased back into action despite starting 26 times last season and being a key player of the midfield of the eagles.

AUGUST 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will be tested for Saturday Skhiri (undisclosed) is a late call for Saturday's match against Hoffenheim, according to manager Dino Toppmoller.

Impact Skhiri is still battling undisclosed issues and will need to pass a fitness test to play Saturday, as he is now set to train ahead of the match to decide his status. That said, the club appears to be taking a cautious approach and probably won't want to risk him to begin. However, he did start in 26 of his 30 appearances last season, so he should see a solid role once fit.

AUGUST 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play opener Skhiri (undisclosed) is not an option for Saturday's match against Werder Bremen, according to manager Dino Toppmoller. "Ellyes isn't an option yet either."

Impact Skhiri is going ot fall to the sidelines as the club enters the season, with the midfielder not recovered from his undisclosed injury. That said, his return is still up in the air, with the club giving little on his status. He will hope for his return soon, as he is set to see decent time once fit, starting in 26 of his 30 appearances last season.

AUGUST 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with injury Skhiri has just started to train again after dealing with an injury, according to manager Dino Toppmoller.

That said, he is in a decent spot to make a return soon, possibly featuring in the opener on Aug. 23. He is set to be a starter, so he will hope to be an option for their season opener.

Nets Saturday Skhiri scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created during Saturday's 3-1 win over Freiburg.

Impact Skhiri played a large role during the 2024/25 campaign, though his offensive contributions fell to nearly nothing with his departure from a penalty-taking role. The defensive midfielder is a solid option in the middle of the park with limited upside. Rumors have swirled that he could be rotated more next season, though that would likely depend on summer editions in the middle of the park.

Bench addition Skhiri (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Stuttgart.

Impact Skhiri is with the team despite appearing to have a minimal chance of returning, with the midfielder seeing a spot on the bench after his knee injury. It appears they are still being cautious as he is typically a starter, probably testing his legs before seeing that spot again next contest.

Outside chance Saturday Skhiri (knee) returned to training Saturday, per manager Dino Toppmoller.

Impact Skhiri got back in training during Friday's session, though he remains a major doubt for Saturday's showdown with Stuttgart. The midfielder has struggled with the knee for weeks and while he did train individually earlier in the week it's largely a pain management issue.

Expected to be out Skhiri (knee) is set to miss Saturday's clash with Stuttgart, BILD reports.

Impact Skhiri is expected to miss Saturday's clash. The midfielder has been struggling with a knee injury and isn't set to be fit for Saturday's match. With Hugo Larsson (illness) also in doubt Mario Gotze and Mahmoud Dahoud could partner in midfield.

Impact Skhiri was forced off injured during the match against Bochum before the international break and has not fully recovered, as he was spotted training individually on Wednesday. His timeline for return remains unclear. If he is unable to feature in Saturday's match against Stuttgart, Aurele Amenda, who replaced him against Bochum, could see increased playing time for that game.

Forced off injured Skhiri (undisclosed) was forced off with an apparent injury during the second half of Sunday's clash with Bochum.

Impact Skhiri picked up the injury right before the end of Sunday's clash with Bochum. He will be assessed in the coming days and if it turns out to be serious, Can Uzun will likely have a larger role until he returns. His next chance to feature will come against Stuttgart after the international break.

MARCH 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Skhiri missed Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Union Berlin due to suspension but is now back available for Sunday's clash against Bochum. He should get back directly to the starting XI in the midfield for that game.

MARCH 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set for suspension Skhiri will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards.

Reduced training following injury Skhiri (ribs) completed reduced training Wednesday, according to his club.

Impact Skhiri looks to be taking the first steps in his recovery from an injury, with the midfielder training on a limited regimen on Wednesday. This comes after he missed their last match due to a rib injury, as he is likely nearing a return after training. That said, he will still need to see regular training before thinking about playtime again, making him a late call for Sunday's match against Bayern Munich, although he will probably need another week.
