GAME LOG

Goal, assist in win Poku scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Saturday's 4-0 victory against FC St. Pauli.
Impact Poku was a star offensively, registering a goal and an assist in an easy win for Leverkusen. He should continue having success when the side meets Olympiacos in the UCL playoffs, as Olympiacos allowed 14 goals during the league phase.
23 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Assists as substitute Poku had an assist with his lone chance created during Saturday's 3-1 win over Frankfurt.
Impact Poku subbed into the match in the 82nd minute and set up Aleix Garcia in the 93rd for Leverkusen's third goal. The assist was the first goal involvement since November 8th for Poku as he's combined for three shots, three chances created and a cross over his last three league appearances.
JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE
Quiet in loss Poku had two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Hoffenheim.
Impact Poku took a pair of shots, failed to put either on target and was left frustrated Saturday. The forward just couldn't find any space to work in and didn't have time on the ball when he did. Leverkusen are still a strong team going forward so one bad match isn't reason to totally fade Poku moving forward.
JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE
Bench option Poku (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Stuttgart.
Impact Poku was likely to be an option for Saturday and he is, with the forward an option from the bench. He has started in every match leading up to his injury since the start of October, likely to return to a starting role once he tests his legs.
JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE
Available to play Saturday Poku (undisclosed) is back available for Saturday's clash against Stuttgart, coach Kasper Hjulmand said in the press conference, according to BILD.
Impact Poku missed the last Bundesliga game of the year due to an undisclosed injury that he could clear over the Winter break since he is back available for Saturday's clash against Stuttgart. The forward has been a regular starter for the Werkself this season and is expected to claim back that role now that he is an option again.
JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out against Leipzig Poku (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Leipzig, coach Kasper Hjulmand said in the press conference.
Impact Poku is dealing with an injury and won't be available before early January. The versatile forward has been an undisputed starter for the Werkself this season, therefore his absence is a blow for the team, evenmore after that he recently was the player to replace Alejandro Grimaldo when needed on the left flank. The absence of Poku could increase the playing time of Nathan Tella until he returns to full fitness.
DECEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Involved in two of six goals Poku scored a goal with his lone shot and had an assist while creating two chances during Saturday's 6-0 win over Heidenheim.
Impact Poku set up Patrik Schick in the second minute before scoring himself in the 27th and then subbed off at halftime with the game well in hand. The attacker has three goal involvements to go along with three shots, four chances created and a cross over his last three Bundesliga appearances.
NOVEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Starts in frontline Poku (thigh) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Heidenheim.
Impact Poku was forced off late in Wednesday's clash against Benfica due to a thigh injury, but the issue turned out to be minor. He has recovered in time and starts in the frontline for Saturday's clash against Heidenheim. The forward returns to the XI after shaking off the knock without complications and highlighting how important he is in the system.
NOVEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Available against Heidenheim Poku (thigh) is back available for Saturday's clash against Heidenheim since he wasn't mentioned in the injury report by coach Kasper Hjulmand in the press conference.
Impact Poku was forced off late in Wednesday's clash against Benfica due to a thigh injury, but the issue turned out to be minor as he is back available for Saturday's clash against Heidenheim and is expected to resume a starting role.
NOVEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Suffers thigh issue Poku was forced off limping in the 88th minute of Wednesday's 1-0 win over Benfica in the Champions League due to a thigh issue, according to Ghana Soccer Net.
Impact Poku couldn't finish Wednesday's clash against Benfica as he was forced off limping after feeling an issue in his thigh. The forward will likely be assessed in the coming hours to determine the extent of the issue and whether he can be available for Saturday's clash against Heidenheim, which comes quickly. Poku has been an undisputed starter in the frontline for the Werkself, and if he had to miss the clash, Eliesse Ben Seghir would be the main option to replace him in the frontline.
