Running outside Nmecha (ankle) was shown running outside during training Monday.

Impact Nmecha running outside is fantastic to see, but until he starts training with any sort of intensity it's unrealistic to think a return is near. The striker has had a stellar breakout campaign, one that included a call-up to the German National Team, derailed by a nasty ankle injury. Nmecha is still targeting a return before the end of the 21/22 season.

Still out long-term Nmecha (lower leg) is out with long-term ligament damage and is still a long-term absentee, according to manager Florian Kohfeldt.

Impact Nmecha is dealing with a long-term serious ankle injury and is still expected to be out long-term. The striker was one of the breakout players in the Bundesliga and has been simply incredibly. Nmecha even managed to break into the German national team. Yannick Gerhardt has taken some of Nmecha's playing time though the striker has proven hard to replace.

Scores, comes off injured against Koln Nmecha took four shots and scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 defeat against FC Koln, but he was subbed out in the 65th minute after suffering an injury.

Impact Nmecha opened the scoring early on Tuesday with his sixth goal of the Bundesliga season, but Wolfsburg confirmed Wednesday that he suffered an ankle injury in the second half that will rule him out for several weeks. The good news is that there's only one more game before the Bundesliga's winter break, so he will have time to recover before the season starts back up again in January. Yannick Gerhardt could fill in for him against Bayern on Friday.

Registers five shots Saturday Nmecha recorded five shots (one on target) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Stuttgart.

Impact Nmecha led the team in shots and should continue to feature heavily in the club's attack. As such, the attacking midfielder should continue to offer top-half fantasy value moving forward, including in Tuesday's matchup with Koln.

Takes four shots in loss Nmecha had four off-target shots during Saturday's 3-0 loss against Mainz.

Impact Nmecha bounced back from the lackluster performance on the previous match, being Wolfsburg's most active player on the offensive end, but wasn't able to convert his opportunities. Regardless of the position he's deployed in, the forward is always a menace and his side will need him to be at his best during Wednesday's pivotal UCL match against Lille.
