Impact Nmecha is going to need some testing to make the squad Saturday, as the forward was dealt a hamstring injury. This is something to watch for the club after he has scored in three of their past four games while being a starter. That said, if he passes testing, he will likely look to see the start, with Wilfried Gnonto or Joel Piroe as possible replacements.

Scores from penalty spot Nmecha scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Nmecha would equalize the game for Leeds before an eventual heartbreaking winner from City, with the forward converting from the penalty spot in the 68th minute. This marks a third straight outing for the forward with a goal since earning a starting spot, as he appears to be catching fire. He now has four goals in 13 appearances this season, although he has only earned four starts.

Impact Nmecha scored the opener against Forest on Sunday with a low drive from 20 yards after a move started by Noah Okafor and set up by Brenden Aaronson.

Impact Nmecha came off the bench for the final 15 minutes and opened his account in the Premier League with a coolly converted penalty. It was a nice finish for the striker, who seems to be behind Joel Piroe, at least to open the season. Injuries have been an issue for Nmecha in recent seasons, but if he can stay fit he should compete for minutes as Leeds look to stay in the top flight.

AUGUST 18 • ROTOWIRE

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Nursing thigh injury Nmecha is dealing with a thigh injury and his status for Tuesday's game against Monchengladbach is uncertain, manager Ralph Hasenhuttl told media Monday.

Impact Nmecha missed the 1-0 win over Hoffenheim due to an injury, so it's unclear if he'll be ready to suit up Tuesday given the quick turnaround. The presence of the central midfielder shouldn't play a big role in fantasy decisions, though, as he's yet to start a game in the 2024/25 campaign.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Could get the call Saturday Nmecha (thigh) could get the call for Saturday's clash with Augsburg, per manager Ralph Hasenhuttl. "It is quite possible that Lukas Nmecha will be in the squad this weekend".

SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not ready Nmecha (thigh) is out for Sunday's clash with Munich, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact Nmecha isn't an option for Sunday's clash with Munich due to a thigh injury. The attacker finished the last two seasons with major injuries and has now gone almost three years without a major role. Nmecha will hope to return before the first international break, though that seems unlikely.

AUGUST 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes knee surgery Nmecha (knee) underwent knee surgery and will be out long term, according to manager Niko Kovac.

Impact Nmecha is set for yet another lost year, his third season in a row with major time on the bench. Manager Niko Kovac also bluntly spoke about new addition Amin Sarr as a like-for-like replacement for Nmecha. Not only will the striker be facing a six-month, or longer, absence, but he will likely be third or fourth on the pecking order when he returns with Jonas Wind in scintillating form.

AUGUST 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Aggravates knee injury Nmecha (knee) will miss Saturday's clash with Heidenheim due to a knee injury, Wolfsburg announced Monday.

Impact Nmecha was forced off during a 6-0 DFB Pokal win over TuS Makkabi Berlin due to the knee injury and it's a worst case scenario for the striker. He will undergo tests to understand the extent of the injury but after nearly a year on the sideline with a prior injury the fear is a long-term absence. Jonas Wind will lead the line for Saturday's Bundesliga opener.

AUGUST 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Active in friendly Nmecha (knee) took part in Tuesday's friendly clash with Freiburg.

Impact Nmecha returned to the pitch after a knee injury knocked him out of pre-season training. The forward is set for a major role in the starting XI in 2023-24 if he can stay fit, though there is plenty of competition for starting minutes with Jonas Wind and Patrick Wimmer.

Returns to team training Nmecha (knee) took full part in team training Thursday, Waz.de reports.

Impact Nmecha was back in full team training as he recovers from a long-term knee injury. The striker could be the top option leading the line in 2023-24, though he will face competition from Jonas Wind for that role.

JULY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing return to training Nmecha (knee) is targeting a return to team training, he announced via Instagram.

Impact Nmecha continues to progress through his recovery from a long-term knee injury. The striker is hoping to recover before the beginning of the 2023-24 season, though it seems likely he will miss some portion of pre-season. It remains to be seen who will lead the line for Wolfsburg to open the Bundesliga, though Nmecha is certainly a frontrunner for the starting role.
