Joao Pedro - Page 10 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Scores on debut Joao Pedro scored once from four shots (two on target) and created one chance in Saturday's 4-1 triumph over Luton.

Impact Joao Pedro, who was playing in the number 10 role behind Danny Welbeck, had a golden chance to open the scoring early on, but could only scuff wide from close range. He went on to win and score the penalty that put his side two up and sent them on their way to victory. The attacker managed three Premier League goals for Watford in the 21/22 season and hit 11 in the championship last term.

Nets in loss Pedro scored once on seven shots (five on goal) during Sunday's 5-1 loss to Leicester.

Impact Pedro certainly came to play Sunday, even if the rest of Watford crumbled around him. The forward peppered the Leicester goal with seven shots and scored Watford's only goal. Pedro will look to close this stint in the Premier League against Chelsea on Sunday.

Starting on Sunday Pedro is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match with Leicester City.

Impact Pedro returns after dealing with a knock in the buildup to the match. The forward will help lead the line for Watford during Sunday's Premier League clash with Leicester.

Being evaluated for knock Pedro will face a late-fitness test ahead of Sunday's matchup with Leicester City after picking up an undisclosed injury.

Impact Pedro previously missed time due to a groin problem but it's not immediately clear if this latest knock is related. Even if he does start, the forward is mired in a 12-match goal drought during which he has registered 17 shots but only three on target, making him a relatively goal-dependant fantasy option.

Underwhelming in return Pedro had one tackle (one won) and one interception in Wednesday's 0-0 tie against Everton.

Impact It was a less than stellar return to the starting XI for Pedro after having missed the previous game with a groin problem. In fact, the forward hasn't put a single effort on target in his last 10 appearances, including seven starts. As such, fantasy players may not want to bank on him putting one into the netting any time soon.

Starting versus Everton Pedro (groin) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Everton.

Impact Pedro returns to the squad Wednesday despite dealing with a minor tweak to his groin. It's unknown how healthy he is, but he's one of the only regulars in the squad, especially in the attack with Ken Sema and Samuel Kalu flanking him.

Late test against Everton Pedro (groin) trained Monday and is a late test for Wednesday's match against Everton, according to manager Roy Hodgson.

Impact There's a chance Pedro is the only regular forward in the squad for Wednesday's match, as Watford are set to be missing a lot of players. It seems like Pedro is most likely to feature up front after missing the last contest, as he wants a few more games in the Premier League, currently on just 12 starts for the campaign.

Out with groin issue Pedro is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace because of a groin issue.

Impact Pedro misses out Saturday after starting five of the last six matches. He had little to show for it, though not many on Watford have made the score-sheet in recent matches. Joshua King is back in starting XI against Palace and will likely be on penalty kicks.

Back in starting XI Pedro (COVID-19) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Southampton.

Impact Pedro is back in the starting XI Sunday after missing out midweek because of COVID-19. He didn't manage a shot in his last start in which Cucho Hernandez scored and assisted, and this time, Joshua King is healthy and waiting on the bench to feature.

MARCH 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Wolves Pedro tested positive for COVID-19 Wednesday and is out against Wolves on Thursday.

Impact Pedro tested negative ahead of Thursday's match, but that's not enough to play because of protocols. Joshua King is healthy and back in the XI, while Pedro should be available for Sunday's trip to Southampton if he continues to test negative.

Goes full 90 in loss Pedro had one chance created, three interceptions and four clearances in Sunday's 3-2 loss against Arsenal.

Impact Pedro was back in the starting XI Sunday with Ismaila Sarr injured and he could keep that role going forward. Pedro and Cucho Hernandez are expected to fight for starts with Sarr out, while they both could continue to start if Joshua King is ready to re-enter the XI.

MARCH 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Could be available against Man United Pedro (calf) has trained and could be available for Saturday's trip to Manchester United, according to manager Roy Hodgson.

Impact Pedro has missed the last two matches with a calf issue and prior to that he was coming off the bench, so nothing is expected to change Saturday. He had a nice run of matches, but Joshua King still has the leg up on Pedro and Cucho Hernandez for the starting XI despite a run of no production.

Late test for Wednesday Pedro (knock) is making progress but is still considered a doubt for Wednesday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Roy Hodgson. "Both are making incredibly good pr...

Impact Even if available, Pedro is unlikely to be in the XI Wednesday having been benched the prior two matches. He seems to be the odd man out despite a run of solid performances and the return of Ismaila Sarr definitely won't help his playing time.

FEBRUARY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out with knock Pedro is out with a knock for Saturday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Pedro is out Saturday, but he hasn't started in two matches and wasn't going to start in this one now that Ismaila Sarr is available. Pedro had a nice run of performances, but he's the odd man out in the attack at the moment.

FEBRUARY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starts, scores goal Pedro scored one goal across 90 minutes during a 1-1 draw Saturday against Newcastle United.

Impact Pedro logged his fourth start and second goal of the 2021-22 Premier League. He will try to continue improving tallies concerning both statistical categories this year. During the latter half of 2021, Emmanuel Dennis and Joshua King became favored starters over Pedro.

JANUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores off bench Pedro scored once off the bench during Saturday's 4-1 win over Manchester United.

Impact Pedro was brought on for his seventh appearance and did well with a goal and four shots in 16 minutes. It's rare that he will come on with the opponents down to 10, so this isn't a goal to chase going forward.

NOVEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Gets assist off bench Pedro logged one assist from one chance created in 26 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 5-2 win over Everton.

Impact Pedro has come off the bench in all four of his appearances this season and was able to get his name onto the box score as well by setting up Emmanuel Dennis for the final goal. In a reasonably deep attacking group, Pedro will need to make an even bigger impact if he's to become a better fantasy asset. Up next is a visit from Southampton, which have conceded 12 goals in nine games.

OCTOBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Could be option Saturday Pedro (knee) continues to train and could be an option for Saturday's match against Newcastle.

Impact Pedro has been training for about two weeks, so he should be nearing match fitness. He won't crack the starting XI immediately, but he should figure to steal some playing time as the season moves along after starting 31 matches last campaign.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss Norwich trip Pedro (knee) is training in full but will miss Saturday's match against Norwich City.

Impact Pedro was a late-test last weekend, so this update is a bit surprising. He's been training fully for a couple weeks now and is likely working on his fitness at this point. Once ready, he gives Watford another option to use up front.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back in full training Pedro (knee) is back in full training and will be assessed ahead of Saturday's match against Wolverhampton.

Impact Pedro only recently returned to full training, so he's unlikely to make an appearance Saturday given his absence since July. At this point, it makes more sense to come off the bench a couple times before being an option to start and even then, he'll need to fight for a job in the attack.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Running outside, making progress Pedro is running outside and making progress with his knee injury, according to the team.

Impact Pedro may still have another few weeks before he's an option again. It's unknown what kind of injury he suffered in July, but it's a knee issue that'll keep him out multiple months. Even upon a return, he'll have to fight for minutes in Watford's attack with Emmanuel Dennis taking the starting role up front this season.

AUGUST 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Working through knee injury Pedro continues to work through a knee injury sustained last month and will miss Saturday's opener against Aston Villa.

Impact It doesn't seem like Pedro is close to returning, so his Premier League campaign starts with a hitch. He started 31 matches for Watford last season, scoring nine goals, but given other signings, his spot in the squad may not be the same in the new season.
