14 players who could get a fresh look under new USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino

Likely done for season Koleosho (knee) appears to be done for the season, according to manager Vincent Kompany, per Matt Scrafton of the Burnley Express.

Impact Koleosho looks to be bowing out for the season, as after an extended absence due to a knee issue, he is likely to remain on the sidelines for the final two games of the campaign. There was slight hope he could get back into the team, but after their manager confirmed he was not in the fold and wasn't near contention to feature, that idea was put to rest. He will now look ahead to next season, hoping to shake off the injury bug he had this season, as he is a young player with a promising future in football if he can stay fit.

Still hoping to return Koleosho (knee) was in a "good place," but doesn't have an update on a possible return, according to manager Vincent Kompany.

Impact Kompany has been maybe the worst manager in the league at giving injury updates this season and that's not going to change the final few weeks. Koleosho underwent knee surgery in December and there's been few updates on his recovery since. With three matches to go, it's still hard to see him playing significant minutes this season.

Could return Koleosho (knee) could return before the end of the season, according to manager Vincent Kompany.

Impact Koleosho getting back on the pitch would be a huge surprise to say the least, but it seems possible. Even if he was able to return it would likely just be a cursory appearance off the bench. Kompany remains extremely cagey with injury news so it's still not clear what the exact sort of knee injury is for Koleosho.

Amping up gym work Koleosho is building strength in the gym and hopeful to start running in the next couple weeks following knee surgery.

Impact Koleosho has yet to start running in his recovery, which likely means he'll be out the rest of the season with two months to go. The exact knee surgery was never revealed, but this timeline suggests a torn ACL, assuming he won't be ready to train for another couple months, pointing to a full return at some point in the summer.

Undergoes knee operation Koleosho underwent surgery on his knee and is set for at least three months on the sidelines. "Anything he's still able to give us this season is a bonus, I can't give you much mor...

Impact This is a big loss for Koleosho, who had been a regular starter for Burnley this season. This will open the door for more playing time for Wilson Odobert, who started the last match at left midfield and is expected to start again Saturday against Everton.

Knee injury confirmed Koleosho suffered a knee injury against the Wolves on Tuesday and is set to be sidelines for the time being, confirmed manager Vincent Kompany. "It's bad news for us, he's going to...

Impact Koleosho had been doing a fine job during his first season in the Premier League, totaling a goal and an assist on 23 shots (five on target) and 23 crosses (two accurate) in that span. He is expected to remain out ultil the start of the new year, at minimum. During his absence, both Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Jacob Bruun Larsen will likely be in line for more playing time in the midfield for Burnley.

Limps off Tuesday Koleosho came off limping during Tuesday's clash with Wolves.

Impact Koleosho made it 36 minutes before a lower leg injury saw him come off. The forward was replaced by Johann Berg Gudmundsson who could be in line for a significant role moving forward. Koleosho could miss multiple matches if he's out for even a week due to the rapid-fire nature of the December Premier League schedule.

Scores first Burnley goal Koleosho scored once from three shots (one on target) and attempted three crosses in Saturday's 5-0 victory over Sheffield United.

Impact Koleosho had earlier missed a sitter, hitting the post with a close-range rebound, but showed good resilience to take the next chance that came his way. He will be relieved to have gotten off the mark in the Premier League and will hope to add to his tally as Burnley embark on a run of favourable fixtures.

Back in starting role Koleosho has registered one assist on ten chances created to go along with 18 shots (three on target) and 19 crosses (two accurate) in 12 appearances this season.

Impact Koleosho has been a regular starter for Burnley so far this season, only missing a start when he fell to the bench for a two-match spell. He has struggled to get anything going in the attack, only registering one goal contribution while having several matches where he hasn't recorded a shot or a chance created. It doesn't seem likely that the Italian international will drop out of the starting XI again anytime soon, but he will have a little more pressure to produce more once Lyle Foster returns from his time away from the team.

Falls to bench Koleosho was brought off the bench in the final match before the international break.

Impact Koleosho has been a consistent part of the starting XI on both wings but fell to the bench for the final match before the break. It's not a surprising turn with the limited minutes Koleosho has seen, going more than 70 minutes just three times in eight matches. Koleosho has provided one assist while creating nine chances in eight appearances (seven starts.)

Assists opener in loss Koleosho assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 5-2 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Koleosho recorded his first assist of the season Saturday as he set up Lyle Foster's goal in the fourth minute. It was the only chance he created in the match before being subbed off in the 68th minute for Jacob Bruun Larsen.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Signs with Burnley Koleosho signed a four-year contract with Burnley from Spanish side Espanyol.

Impact Koleosho makes the move to the Premier League where he'll hope to continue improvement. At 18 years old, he'll be a project for at least another year after playing 55 minutes with Espanyol's senior side this past season, most of them in the final game of the campaign.

JULY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores first La Liga goal in draw Koleosho scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-3 draw against Almeria.

Impact Koleosho scored the first goal of his young La Liga career in the 73rd minute of Sunday's game. This was only his fourth appearance of the season, coming off the bench in all four, as he was sat in the reserves for most of Espanyol's matches. The young 19-year-old was able to put together a good performance as a substitute in Espanyol's season finale and may have made his mark to cement more time on the field in the 23-24 season.

Impact Koleosho made his La Liga debut last season but we could be seeing more of him in the coming campaign as his name has popped up more in the first team. Don't expect much fantasy action yet, though.
