Filip Ugrinic - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Returns to team training Ugrinic (knee) rejoined team training Wednesday for the first time in 11 days and is on track for Sunday's clash against Celta Vigo, according to Deportes COPE Valencia.

Impact Ugrinic had been ruled out of the Sevilla fixture prior to the international break after experiencing knee pain, snapping a run of consistent starts that had seen him become an undisputed starter in Valencia's midfield since December. His return to group sessions is a timely boost for coach Carlos Corberan, with the Swiss midfielder expected to slot straight back into his starting role once cleared. If he needs more time, Andre Almeida could play deeper with Pepelu or Baptiste Santamaria as potential options to step in too.

Three shots Sunday Ugrinic registered three shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Betis.

Impact Ugrinic took three shots and a corner Sunday, but didn't do much with that volume, as only one of the shots was on goal. The midfielder struggled for the most part throughout the match, and couldn't get time and space on the ball. Ugrinic isn't likely to get much more space with some tough matches on the horizon.

Impact Ugrinic logged his second assist in five league appearances since Dec. 7. Though the midfielder updated his season-high in minutes Sunday, he failed to log a full 90 because an undisclosed injury forced him out of action. Ugrinic's next chance to play comes Saturday, and Valencia will want him available, especially with his on-field form quite high.

Option for starting XI Urginic (illness) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Elche.

Impact Urginic was deemed fit from his illness ahead of Saturday's match and is back with the team, as the midfielder is fit and starting immediately. This is his third straight start when available, appearing to be working into a starting role after a bench spot to start the season.

Absent against Celta Vigo Ugrinic (illness) won't be involved in Saturday's match against Celta Vigo.

Impact Ugrinic has an outside chance of being available Saturday, but the midfielder isn't expected to play due to flu-like symptoms. The illness has been bothering Valencia's camp for the last couple of weeks. If Ugrinic can't play, then Javi Guerra or Baptiste Santamaria would be options to start in midfield next to Pepelu.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Assists off bench in draw Ugrinic assisted once to go with three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Sevilla.

Impact Ugrinic set up Hugo Duro with a low ball from the left flank in stoppage time against Sevilla. The Swiss played 27 minutes as a substitute for Andre Almeida, and the assist was his second in six appearances (zero starts) this season. While his playing time has been limited so far, Ugrinic may be reliable for playmaking stats if he gets involved more consistently, especially because he has taken set pieces on occasion.

Partially trains with team Ugrinic (knee) is partially training with his teammates, according to his club.

Impact Ugrinic has been out for around a month now but is back in training with his club, participating in some partial team training. The good news for the midfielder is that he will gradually enter full team training over the week, possibly deeming him fit for a return soon. There is a chance he could feature against Levante on Nov. 21 when they return to action, although a return against Rayo Vallecano on Dec. 1 seems more likely.

Impact Ugrinic joined the club in the summer with some knee discomfort that worsened during the first stretch of the season and flared up around the Girona game. The midfielder will now follow a specific training and rehabilitation program before returning to the match squad. That said, his absence doesn't impact the starting squad since he has only been a bench option this season for Valencia.

NOVEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will return to group next week Ugrinic (knee) was spotted in individual training Thursday but won't be an option for Saturday's game against Real Madrid, according to David Torres of El Desmarque.

Impact Ugrinic was seen training on the grass, though he's not ready to play yet. If everything continues to go according to plan, the midfielder should return to group training next week, though he'd still be considered a long shot to face Real Betis on Nov. 9 before the international break.

Yet to train this week Ugrinic (knee) won't be an option for Saturday's game against Villarreal, according to German Caballero of Super Deporte. "Ugrinic is dealing with pain in his knee but is undergoin...

Impact Ugrinic missed the previous match against Alaves and hasn't progressed enough in training to be an option for this weekend's clash, either. Considering it'll be around two weeks before Ugrinic can return to training, it wouldn't be surprising if he's not able to return to action until after the November international break since he also has to build some much-needed match fitness in the process.

OCTOBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with knee injury Urginic (knee) is not available for Monday's clash against Alaves, coach Carlos Corberan said in the press conference.

Impact Urginic is still dealing with a knee issue and won't be available for Monday's clash against Alaves. The midfielder has been a bench option on various occasions and therefore his absence won't impact the starting XI.

OCTOBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Unused again Urginic (knee) was unused off the bench in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Girona.

Impact Urginic was dealing with knee pain again, but still made the team sheet, with the midfielder fit enough for the bench but not earning a minute of time. He has now gone unused in their past two games and three of their four last games, likely to remain a depth option for the club.

Dealing with knee problem Ugrinic is dealing with a knee problem and could miss Saturday's game against Girona, manager Carlos Corberan told media during his pre-match press conference Friday. "Ugrinic had...

Impact Knee injuries tend to be complicated, and given Ugrinic's role as a depth piece in midfield, he's likely to sit out this game with the international break right around the corner. Ugrinic has logged 90 minutes across four outings off the bench this season, so his potential absence won't be much of an issue in fantasy.

OCTOBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Assists off bench Ugrinic assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 2-2 draw versus Espanyol.

Impact Ugrinic set up the bullet header by Hugo Duro with a well taken corner in the 62nd minute. Ugrinic also made two tackles and a clearance. He has come off the bench four times this campaign and this was his first goal contribution.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Ugrinic (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Barcelona.

Impact Ugrinic trained this week and is now also fit for play, with the midfielder earning a bench spot after using the break to recover. He has only appeared off the bench in his two appearances this season, likely to maintain a depth role moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back in training Ugrinic (undisclosed) took part in training Friday and is expected to be available to face Barcelona on Sunday, Sep. 14, according to Juan Ignacio Lechuga of El Desmarque.

Impact Ugrinic missed the 3-0 win over Getafe with an undisclosed injury, but he's back in training and should be available to face Barcelona after the international break. However, Ugrinic has accumulated only 27 minutes off the bench in his first two outings, so he's not expected to have a lot of fantasy upside once he's cleared to return.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely against Getafe Ugrinic (undisclosed) suffered an injury in training this week and is unlikely going to be available in Friday's clash against Getafe, coach Carlos Corberan said in the press confe...

Impact Ugrinic is very doubtful for Friday's clash against Getafe after suffering an injury in training this week. That said, if the midfielder has to miss the game, his absence will not impact the starting XI since he is a bench option for Valencia.

Makes Valencia move Ugrinic completed a transfer to Valencia from Young Boys, the club announced.

Impact Ugrinic made the transfer to Valencia, a long-rumored move as the midfielder looked to step into a top five league. Ugrinic has been crucial for Young Boys in their Champions League runs in recent years, starting seven matches last season. Ugrinic is in the prime of his career and should immediately compete for a starting role, potentially taking minutes from Javi Guerra or Pepelu.
