Luka Jovic - Page 4 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Joins Fiorentina Jovic transferred permanently to Fiorentina from Real Madrid on Friday.

Impact Jovic never started more than four matches during his two full seasons with Los Blancos, and a return to Eintracht Frankfurt on loan in 2019/2020 proved his talents hadn't faded just yet. With Karim Benzema, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo getting better every year, it made sense for Jovic to look elsewhere in order to play. Now with La Viola, Jovic could easily compete or partner with Nicolas Gonzalez as a long-term replacement for Dusan Vlahovic.

Out for UCL Final Jovic was not involved in Saturday's 1-0 Champions League Final victory against Liverpool.

Impact Jovic ends the season with one goal and three assists across a combined 18 appearances (two starts) in La Liga and the Champions League, and the 24-year-old has fallen behind Mariano in the center forward depth chart as Karim Benzema's backup.

Assists off bench Jovic provided one assist off the bench during Thursday's 6-0 win over Levante.

Impact Jovic came off the bench for the final 15 minutes of Thursday's rout and earned his third assist of the campaign. The forward simply hasn't broken into the first team with Madrid, and has struggled to find consistent playing time. He will hope to close the season out on a high note with two matches left to play. Next up is an extremely favorable trip to Cadiz.

Starts in loss Jovic took two shots (one on goal) in 61 minutes of Sunday's 1-0 loss to Atletico Madrid.

Impact Jovic got a rare chance to play with Benzema getting some rest after winning the league title and advancing to the UCL final. Given that Jovic was barely in the squad list over the past four months until Sunday, it seems unlikely he'll get many more chances to play without planned squad rotation.

Available for Champions League Jovic (groin) has been called up by Real Madrid for Wednesday's Champions League semifinal second leg against Manchester City.

Impact Jovic hasn't featured for Real Madrid since February after dealing with a litany of injuries and knocks, but he's been called up for Wednesday's game and should be available as a backup option.

MAY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Training individually Jovic (groin) was training on his own with Real Madrid on Thursday, Sergio Quirante of Gol reports.

Impact Jovic has missed the majority of April, first with an ankle knock and then with an adductor injury. He hasn't featured at all for Real Madrid since February, but there is a lot on the line for the club in the next few weeks with the La Liga title one point away from being clinched and then the second leg of the Champions League semifinal coming up. Jovic will want to be healthy and able to chip in if called upon.

APRIL 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Osasuna Jovic was not called up by Real Madrid for Wednesday's clash against Osasuna due to an adductor injury.

Impact Jovic will not be available for Wednesday's game, but he hasn't featured at all for Real Madrid since mid-February regardless of his health.

APRIL 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available for Champions League Jovic (ankle) has been called up by Real Madrid for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Chelsea.

On bench in cup win Jovic (illness) was an unused substitute in Wednesday's Supercopa semifinal victory against Barcelona.

Impact Jovic has missed Real Madrid's last two La Liga games with COVID-19, but he has recovered and was an option in the Supercopa on Wednesday. He's still stuck behind Karim Benzema on the depth chart, but maybe he'll get an opportunity either in the Supercopa Final this weekend or on the Copa del Rey Round of 16 next week.

JANUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tests positive for COVID-19 Jovic has tested positive for COVID-19, Real Madrid announced Thursday.

Impact Jovic will miss at least a week while isolating, but he was unlikely to start ahead of a healthy Karim Benzema up front anyway.

Takes two shots in win Jovic took two shots (one on target) and created two chances in Tuesday's 2-0 Champions League victory against Inter.

Impact Jovic was solid in his first start of the season for Real Madrid on Tuesday, filling in for the injured Karim Benzema (hamstring). He will return to the bench once Benezema is fit, but Jovic has proved over the last two games that he could be a legitimate backup option for his side, arguably the first time he has shown life since transferring from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer of 2019.

DECEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Scores, assists in relief Jovic scored one goal on his only shot and provided one assist from three chances created during Saturday's 2-0 win over Real Sociedad.

Impact Jovic stepped up in a big way following Karim Benzema's early departure as he got involved in both goals. His score marked his first time finding the net this season and first time he's played more than 28 minutes in a single game, though circumstances played a big role in this due to Benzema's injury. Up next is a visit from Inter Milan in the UCL, and Jovic will hope to remain in the lineup based on his strong effort in Saturday's game.

Bale and Hazard out of Real Madrid match against Sheriff

Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard have not been included in Real Madrid’s squad for the Champions League match at Sheriff because of health issues

NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • Associated Press

Available as substitute Jovic (ankle) will be an option off the bench versus Osasuna on Wednesday.

Impact Jovic returns to the squad following a two-match absence due to his ankle issue. Considering the forward has yet to feature in the starting XI this year, fantasy players shouldn't be banking on him doing so any time soon. As such, he's unlikely to offer more than low-end fantasy value moving forward.

OCTOBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to team training Jovic (ankle) did the entire training session with the team, according to Arancha Rodriguez.

Impact Jovic has made a full return to team training and could return to the pitch in the next week. The forward isn't a large part of the starting XI, but with Madrid dealing with a plethora of injuries he would provide a much-needed depth option off the bench. The earliest he could return is Wednesday, against Osasuna.

OCTOBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers training injury Jovic suffered an ankle injury during training, and is out of the preliminary squad list for Tuesday's clash with Shakhtar.

Impact Jovic suffered a heavy blow to his ankle during training and will be sidelined for Tuesday's clash. The forward hasn't been a main part of the starting XI, but this injury will limit Madrid's already injury-taxed depth. His next chance to play is Sunday, away to Barcelona.

OCTOBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Finally on score sheet Jovic provided one assist on one chance created during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Espanyol.

Impact Jovic finally got on the scoresheet in his fifth appearance as he continues to languish at the bottom of the depth chart. The forward shows no signs of breaking into the team and has next to no fantasy value.
