Marash Kumbulla - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Returns to AS Roma Kumbulla will return to parent club AS Roma following the conclusion of his loan spell at Mallorca, the club announced.

Impact Kumbulla joined the club last summer and made 10 appearances during his time at the club, providing defensive cover across the campaign. Mallorca thanked him for his professionalism and contribution during his loan spell as he prepares to return to Roma ahead of the new season.

Trains normally with team Kumbulla (adductor) returned to team training Tuesday and is targeting a return for Friday's clash against Girona, according to Radio Marca Baleares.

Impact Kumbulla had been ruled out for the clash against Alaves after picking up a new adductor injury, making his swift return to collective sessions a more encouraging update than initially anticipated. The Albanian center-back has mainly been a bench option for Mallorca this season, so his return is primarily about restoring squad depth rather than shaking up the starting lineup, but every available body counts for a side still fighting to secure their top-flight status in the final stretch of the campaign.

Suffers new adductor injury Kumbulla picked up a new adductor injury and is ruled out for the time being, the club posted.

Impact Kumbulla has been dealing with a series of physical setbacks throughout his time at Mallorca, and this latest adductor issue is another frustrating development for the Albanian center-back. His absence has a limited impact on the starting lineup given his bench role for the Bermellones this season, but losing yet another body in the squad is unwelcome news for a club still fighting to secure their top-flight status in the final stretch of the campaign.

APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE

Spotted back in team training Kumbulla (hamstring) returned to team training this week and is on track to be available for Saturday's clash against Real Madrid, according to Juanmi Sanchez of Ultima Hora.

Impact Kumbulla has been sidelined for around six weeks dealing with a combination of hamstring issues and undisclosed discomfort that had the club genuinely concerned at various points during his recovery. The Albanian center-back's return is a timely boost for Mallorca, who have been bleeding goals all season and desperately need reinforcements at the back as they fight to avoid relegation over the final nine matches. Getting him back into the fold just in time for a showdown against Real Madrid is as tough a return as it gets, but having Kumbulla available again gives new coach Martin Demichelis more defensive options as he tries to finally solve the club's persistent back line issues.

MARCH 31 • ROTOWIRE

Yet to train Kumbulla (undisclosed) has yet to train this week and won't be an option for Sunday's game against Espanyol, according to Sergi Fullana of Diario De Mallorca.

Impact Kumbulla hasn't played since Jan. 17, and while he was on the bench in the 3-0 loss to Barcelona on Feb. 2, the defender hasn't appeared in the squad in the last four games. It remains to be seen if Kumbulla will be able to return to the squad in the March 21 meeting at Elche, which will be Mallorca's final game before the international break.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Still not an option Kumbulla (muscular) is still not an option for the time being, the club posted.

Impact Kumbulla remains unavailable for Mallorca as he continues to be left out of the squad while recovering from a muscular issue, and he did not make it back in time for Sunday's matchup against Celta Vigo. The center-back is still working his way through the rehab process and there is no clear timetable for his return at this stage. That said, his absence does not shake up the starting XI, as he is expected to operate in a rotational role once the defensive unit is fully healthy.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Sunday Kumbulla (muscular) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Real Betis, the club posted.

Impact Kumbulla will not be available for Sunday's showdown against Real Betis after muscular discomfort limited him in training this week. The center-back has dealt with recurring issues throughout the season and will need a bit more time on the sidelines to get fully right. That said, with Antonio Raillo back in the mix and David Lopez turning in steady performances, his absence should not significantly shake up the starting XI.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with muscle discomfort Kumbulla (muscular) is still struggling with muscle discomfort and wasn't spotted in team training Thursday, according to Alberto Hernando from AS.

Impact Kumbulla has been battling recurring muscle issues all season, and it looks like that trend is not over after he missed Thursday's training session and is now a doubt for Sunday's clash against Real Betis. The defender has struggled to stay on the field in recent months, and this latest setback once again puts his availability in question heading into the weekend. That said, his potential absence should not shake up the starting XI with Antonio Raillo back from injury and David Lopez riding a strong run of form in the backline.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Option off bench Kumbulla (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Barcelona.

Impact Kumbulla is available off the bench for Saturday's clash against Barcelona after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury. He returns to the squad following his recovery but is used as a substitute option. This is still encouraging news for Mallorca as he adds depth despite holding a rotational role.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Option against Barcelona Kumbulla (hamstring) is an option for Saturday's clash against Barcelona, the club posted.

Impact Kumbulla missed the last two games due to a hamstring injury but seems to have fully recovered since he is back in the squad list for Saturday's clash against Barcelona. This is great news for Mallorca, although he should regain a rotational role moving forward.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play vs. Sevilla Kumbulla (hamstring) has yet to resume training and is doubtful to play against Sevilla on Monday, according to Juanmi Sanchez of Ultima Hora.

Impact Mallorca are dealing with a defensive crisis since Antonio Raillo (undisclosed) is training away from the group as well. Kumbulla is pretty much ruled out since he hasn't been able to train all week, and under this scenario, David Lopez would have to be ready to start at center-back next to Martin Valjent once again.

JANUARY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Not available Sunday Kumbulla (undisclosed) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Atletico, the club posted.

Impact Kumbulla is suffering from an undisclosed issue and won't be an option for Sunday's clash against Atletico. The center-back will likely be assessed at the beginning of next week to see if has to miss more time to recover. Kumbulla has started the last two games for Mallorca due to the injury of Antonio Raillo (shoulder) but now that the starter is back fit for the team, the absence of Kumbulla shouldn't impact much the starting XI.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Fit to face Girona Kumbulla (shoulder) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Girona.

Impact Kumbulla was the only injured player for Mallorca and is with the club, as the defender is fit for the bench. He has only earned a bench spot in his past five appearances after three starts in the first four games of the season, although he did miss eight games through injury during that span.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Called up for Sunday Kumbulla (shoulder) is on the team sheet for Sunday's match vs Girona.

Impact Kumbulla was able to use the winter break to recover from a dislocated shoulder suffered against Valencia. He had already dealt with injury woes this season, missing time with a hamstring injury. When fit, the defender is a good rotational starter at center back, having made three starts in five appearances this campaign.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers shoulder dislocation Kumbulla suffered a shoulder dislocation in Friday's 1-1 draw against Valencia and will have to be assessed, coach Jagoba Arrasate said in a press conference, according to Diario d...

Impact Kumbulla contributed two clearances during his 24 minutes shift on Friday against Valencia and suffered a shoulder dislocation late during the clash. The center-back will be assessed in the coming days and will hope to recover during the winter break since he will hold a decent rotational role once fully back fit for Mallorca.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Kumbulla (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Osasuna.

Impact Kumbulla missed the last two months due to a hamstring injury and he has now fully recovered ahead of Saturday's clash against Osasuna. The center-back returns to the squad but will begin the match on the bench as the staff opts for caution after his extended absence. He was an undisputed starter prior to his injury so he is still expected to reclaim that role in upcoming fixtures while gradually building match fitness following his long spell on the sidelines.

NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available against Osasuna Kumbulla (hamstring) is back available for Saturday's clash against Osasuna, the club posted.

Impact Kumbulla missed the last two months due to a hamstring injury that he has now fully recovered from since he is back available for Saturday's clash against Osasuna. The center-back was an undisputed starter prior to his injury and is expected to claim back that role in upcoming fixtures, likely gradually building his fitness after a long period on the sidelines.

NOVEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins training Kumbulla (hamstring) is back in group training, according to his club.

Impact Kumbulla suffered a hamstring injury around two months ago and has been working on his return, but is finally making a jump in progress, as the defender has trained with the team. He should then be ready for action in the next week or two, likely to return to the field against Osasuna on Saturday or against Oviedo on Dec. 5.

NOVEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers hamstring injury Kumbulla suffered a hamstring injury in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Atletico and is out for the time being, the club announced.

Impact Kumbulla is out for the time being as the defender needs time to recover from a hamstring injury he suffered in Saturday's draw against the Colchoneros. His timeline for return will depend on his progress and his absence will force a change in the starting lineup with Mallorca likely switching back to a back four and Samu Costa reintroduced in the midfield.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Injured early Kumbulla was forced off in the 36th minute of Saturday's match against Atletico Madrid due to an apparent injury.

Impact Kumbulla is hitting the sidelines for the end of Sunday's match, with the defender not making it out of the first half after an injury forced his exit in the first half. This is a tough loss for the club, as he has started in their past three games. Pablo Torre was brought on in his place for a more attacking option, with David Lopez as a more realistic replacement if Kumbilla remains out.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Loaned to Mallorca Kumbulla has been loaned to Mallorca from Roma, according to his new club.

Impact Kumbulla is returning to La Liga after spending last year on loan with Espanyol, yet again heading out on loan to join Mallorca. He started in 34 of his 35 appearances and held a solid role last campaign. That said, he will look to capture a starting role again, needing to beat out Antonio Raillo or Martin Valjent for the spot.

AUGUST 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Clears suspension, returns to Roma Kumbulla is no longer suspended and will be available for the first gameday next season. He is going back to Roma after his loan spell with Espanyol during the 2024-25 season, feat...

Impact Kumbulla has cleared his ban due to yellow card accumulation and is back available moving forward. He will return to Roma after spending the 2024-25 season with Espanyol as an undisputed starter in the backline, totaling 2,975 minutes, scoring three goals and helping the team secure five clean sheets. It remains unclear if he will play a role in the next campaign with the Giallorossi or if he will be loaned again after his stints with Sassuolo and Espanyol.

MAY 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set for suspension Kumbulla will serve one-match ban due to an accumulation of ten yellow cards.

Impact Kumbulla picked up his tenth yellow card in La Liga and will be suspended for Saturday's final game of the season against Las Palmas. His absence will impact the starting squad since he has been a regular starter for the club, with Calero likely stepping into his place for that game.

MAY 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores own goal in loss Kumbulla had two shots (one on target) and made one tackle, eight clearances, one interception and one block but scored an own goal during Sunday's 3-2 loss against Leganes.

Impact Kumbulla was very active defensively and even brought some aerial threat on the attacking end but unfortunately for him his highlight from this game ended up being a very unfortunate own goal that put his team down by three goals just after the hour mark. Despite his bad luck here, the center-back remains one of La Liga's best at his position and leads all players in both clearances and blocks.

MAY 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores lone goal Kumbulla scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Friday's 1-0 win against Getafe.

Impact Kumbulla recorded the only goal on the day Friday to take the win over Espanyol. This was his third goal of the season, surpassing his career high. During his first year in Spain, the defender has started 29 of the 30 games played for the side, averaging about 6.1 clearances per contest.
