John Egan - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Dominates with 10 clearances Egan registered one tackle (one won), 10 clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 1-0 win over Coventry City.

Impact Egan was the central figure in another strong defensive display, producing a match-high 10 clearances, two interceptions and one successful tackle across the full 90 minutes. His positioning and ability to deal with pressure were particularly important as Coventry pushed forward during the second half. Egan's experience and defensive reading should make him a key figure in Hull's back line throughout their Premier League campaign.

Starts final friendly against Nice Egan (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's final friendly against Nice, the club posted.

Impact Egan had missed the previous friendly against Eintracht Frankfurt with an ankle issue, a precaution taken by manager Sergej Jakirovic after discomfort followed a kick sustained against Kasimpasa. His return to the starting XI confirms he has recovered in time, easing some of the defensive concerns for a Hull side already managing injuries to Charlie Hughes and possibly Paddy McNair ahead of the Premier League opener.

Misses preseason trip Egan missed the recent friendly match against Eintracht Frankfurt due to an ankle issue, Barry Cooper of the Hull Daily Mail reported Saturday.

Impact Egan has been a regular member of the team's back line during the offseason period, but he's now at risk of being ruled out for the Premier League opener if he continues to deal with discomfort. This news adds to a number of injury problems for the newly promoted side, who are already without Charlie Hughes (groin) and possibly Paddy McNair (knee) in defense, so Semi Ajayi could now become the safest center-back option at the start of the season. However, Egan's precise status remains unclear for the time being.

Season in doubt Egan (calf) is a doubt to return before the end of the season, according to manager Chris Wilder."If John gets back for the end of the season he'll have done remarkably well but he...

Impact Egan is working his way back from a serious calf issue that required two surgeries, so any sort of return would be a surprise. Still the hope for Egan will be at least a return to training before the end of the Premier League.

Undergoes calf surgery Egan recently underwent surgery on his calf and will be out for the foreseeable future.

Impact Egan was already labeled as out "an extended period" a couple weeks ago and now it's been made known that he underwent surgery. The veteran started six of the first eight league matches this season and will be missed, as Chris Basham suffered a nasty injury of his own. Newcomer Auston Trusty expects to see some extended run in the coming months unless Paul Heckingbottom opts to change formations.

Impact It's not a great update for Egan, who is set to miss months with the injury. The specialist will likely decide if some kind of surgery is required, but it's looking like a multi-month absence for Egan. Given recent results, this isn't great news for the Blades, as Egan has been a team leader since joining five years ago. Chris Basham figures to start in his place, though Auston Trusty is also someone who could see extended run.

Goes down injured Egan suffered an apparent calf injury in Saturday's matchup against West Ham United,

Impact Egan limped off in the second half of Saturday's game against West Ham United, but further tests will be needed to assess the severity of the injury. The skipper recently returned from another injury, so this is not a great sign for fantasy managers who have him rostered. Egan should be considered doubtful to face Fulham next Saturday.

Impact Egan is back available after picking up a knock on international duty. It's a major boon for the club as Egan will likely slot straight back into the starting XI and play a significant role in the back line.

Impact Egan joined Ireland during the break despite suffering an ankle injury versus Everton on Sept. 2 and appeared to be back to 100 percent, going the full 90 minutes against France. Egan, however, was subbed out in the 73rd minute of Ireland's meeting with the Netherlands due to his undisclosed injury. Chris Basham could be in line to start for Egan if the central defender can't play against Tottenham.

Starts against the Netherlands Egan (ankle) got the start during Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Netherlands.

Impact Egan returned to the starting XI after picking up a minor ankle issue against Everton. A return to first team action means Egan should be set to get straight back out on the pitch against Tottenham on Sept. 16 when back with Sheffield.

Impact Egan was called up to the Ireland national team and more information on his injury should be revealed in the coming week. He'd started the first four league matches and doesn't expect to lose that role this season. Based off early comments, this doesn't seem like a serious injury for the center-back.

Six clearances in loss Egan recorded six clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Manchester City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 83rd minute.

Impact Egan was shown his first yellow card of the season Saturday as he was booked in the 83rd minute for a bad foul. He also made six clearances, which brings him up to 19 total in the first three matches of the season. Egan intercepted two passes and blocked one shot as well in his full 90 minutes of action.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Logs double-digit clearances in loss Egan had one off-target shot and made one tackle, 11 clearances, two interceptions and one block during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Crystal Palace.

Impact Egan tried his best to stop an opposing offense that kept striking during the entire contest and at least was able to put up some nice individual numbers as his 11 clearances put him atop all EPL players for the category. The Blades will probably be underdogs several times this season, especially when they play away for home, so we could expect Egan having lots of opportunities to showcase his skills and help fantasy teams.
