Ibrahim Maza - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Struggles in service Maza had two shots (zero on goal) and five crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Mainz.

Impact Maza provided a flurry of service as Leverkusen searched for an equalizer but none of his crosses were considered accurate. He will need to be better to see more playing time against Hamburger SV, but that's a more favorable matchup with the side having allowed 32 goals in Bundesliga play through Saturday's games.

Should be available Saturday Maza (thigh) should be an option for Saturday's clash against Mainz, coach Kasper Hjulmand said in the press conference.

Impact Maza was forced off midweek against Olympiacos with a thigh issue, but it turned out to be minor and he is now pushing to be in the mix for Saturday's showdown with Mainz. That is a big lift for the Werkself, as Maza has been a locked-in starter in attacking midfield and his availability would stabilize the frontline and keep their creative engine intact. If he does not make the squad, Ernest Poku is in line for an expanded role and would be set to log heavier minutes.

He has made four consecutive starts in an attacking midfield role, though failing to score or assist in that span.

Impact Maza will miss a second straight match due to the knee issue he picked up last week, as Saturday's clash against Gladbach came too soon in his recovery. The midfielder is targeting a return next Saturday against St. Pauli and should slide back into a meaningful role, given that he has been a regular starter for the Werkself this season. In the meantime, Ezequiel Fernandez is expected to step in until Maza is back to full fitness.

Impact Maza was eliminated with Algeria from the AFCON and will now head back to Leverkusen and should be back available for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim since Tuesday's clash against Hamburger is coming too close for him.

Impact Maza was called by Algeria for the AFCON and will miss all the games until at least the clash against Hamburger on Jan. 13.

He has been a crucial player for Leverkusen since transferring from Hertha BSC in June, having now started their last eight matches across all competitions. He has contributed to a goal in four of his last five games and has recorded 16 successful dribbles this season. While he does not play a major defensive role in Leverkusen's midfield, he remains one of their key players on the ball and has shown no signs of slowing down going forward.
