Karim Adeyemi - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Listed to bench Adeyemi (strain) is on the bench for Friday's match against Frankfurt.

Impact Adeyemi was back in training this week, so it is no surprise to see the forward fit for Friday. He has remained in more of a rotational role this season, recording seven goals and three assists in 26 appearances (15 starts).

Impact Adeyemi missed the last four games due to a muscular injury but could make his return in Friday's clash against the eagles after resuming team training this week. Manager Kovac confirmed he would like all three returning players to be available for Friday, though the partial nature of their reintegration suggests the final call will depend on how they respond in the remaining sessions.

Still out Adeyemi (strain) is out for Sunday's match against Gladbach.

Impact Adeyemi is not going to make his return this week, as he appeared to have failed his testing in the build-up to play. This will leave the winger with only two more games to return in this season, hoping to make it back when facing Frankfurt as he tries for a national team spot in June.

Trains Thursday, late call Sunday Adeyemi (strain) was back in training and is questionable for Sunday's match against Gladbach, according to his club.

Impact Adeyemi was suffering from a muscle injury and will look to make his comeback this weekend after getting into partial training. After three games out, this is positive, as they could push him to be an option Sunday if he continues to train. However, he will look to remain fit for a possible bid with Germany at the World Cup, still having a decent season with 10 goal contributions in 26 appearances (15 starts).

Muscular problems still unresolved Adeyemi continues to manage his muscular problems and remains unavailable, according to coach Niko Kovac, per Ruhr 24.

Impact Adeyemi had been ruled out of the Hoffenheim fixture and his muscular issues have clearly not resolved in the days since, extending his absence into the upcoming fixture. The forward has mainly been a rotational option for Dortmund this season, so his continued absence has a limited impact on the starting lineup, with Julian Brandt and Carney Chukwuemeka continuing to absorb larger roles in the attack while the club monitors his progress ahead of the final stretch of the campaign.

Suffers muscular problems Adeyemi (undisclosed) is ruled out of Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim due to muscular problems, according to coach Niko Kovac, per Ruhr 24. "Karim has muscular problems."

Impact Adeyemi has mainly operated as a rotational option for Dortmund this season, so his absence is unlikely to significantly disrupt the starting lineup. Julian Brandt is expected to absorb a larger role in the attack in his place, with the club hoping the muscular issue proves minor enough to allow a swift return in the coming fixtures.

APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE

Back from ban Adeyemi is no longer banned and is an option moving forward for his club.

Impact Adeyemi is fit for a return after serving a one-game ban, sitting out against Leverkusen. He has started in around half his matches this season, notching seven goals and three assists in 26 appearances (15 starts). He will then likely continue in more of a rotational role.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Set for suspension Adeyemi will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in the Bundesliga.

Impact Adeyemi picked up his fifth yellow card in the Bundesliga and will serve a one-match suspension for Saturday's clash against Leverkusen. The forward has been a rotational option in the front line for the Black and Yellow this season, therefore his absence against the Werself won't have a major impact on the starting XI.

Impact Adeyemi scored the first goal of the game four minutes into stoppage time in the second half to put Dortmund in position for three points. The forward should have some openings against Bayer Leverkusen, a side which has conceded three goals in each of their last two Bundesliga games and 39 overall on the season.

Impact Adeyemi came off the bench Wednesday and appeared to have gotten Dortmund to level terms in the 75th minute with a goal, although that would come before the eventual extra time goal and loss. This gives the forward his third goal in UCL play this season, finishing the campaign with five goal contributions in nine appearances (five starts).

Impact Adeyemi sat out Saturday's win over Wolfsburg for undisclosed reasons but got back on the training pitch over the past two days and is now in the mix for Friday's showdown against Mainz. The forward has mostly operated in a rotational role since the end of last year, so his potential return to the squad is unlikely to shake up the starting XI right away. He will still need to battle Julian Brandt for a spot in the lineup and earn his way back into a featured role.

Ruled out due to injury Adeyemi (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Wolfsburg due to an injury, the club announced.

Impact Adeyemi was seen leaving the training ground early Saturday for undisclosed reasons and has since been ruled out of the clash against Wolfsburg due to injury, indicating the issue likely surfaced during the final training session ahead of the match.
