Kevin Akpoguma - Page 2 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Busy defensively Akpoguma had one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus SC Freiburg.

Impact Akpoguma added four tackles and four clearances during a defensive performance from both teams. It was a nice floor for the center-back who now has three clean sheets in just five starts. That rate likely won't be sustainable but it already surpasses the two clean sheets he managed in 19 starts in 2021/22.

Earns increased role Akpoguma scored twice and provided two assists throughout the 2021/22 Bundesliga season.

Impact Akpoguma earned a bigger role as he made a career-high 26 appearances (19 starts) for Hoffenheim. It's hard to read too much into the increased role though, as Hoffenheim dealt with an absurd amount of injuries throughout the season. Akpoguma will hope to continue working his way into the first team during the 2022/23 season.

Returns to training, could start Akpoguma (thigh) has returned to training and could start Sunday, according to manager Sebastian Hoeness.

Impact Akpoguma could even be in the starting XI, and could be starting in a more advanced midfield role with Andrej Kramaric out. The normally defensively minded midfielder will be in an interesting position as he looks to return from a thigh injury suffered before the international break.

Question mark Saturday Akpoguma (undisclosed) is uncertain for Saturday's clash with Dortmund, according to manager Sebastian Hoeness.

The wingback only had two crosses and his shining moment was setting up a brilliant goal by teammate Ihlas Bebou. Akpoguma will remain a longshot option at best until he can consistently crack the starting XI.
