Nadiem Amiri - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Set to miss several weeks Amiri (heel) is set to miss several weeks to recover from his injury, according to Kicker.

Impact Amiri suffered a setback in training with his recurring heel injury and is now expected to be sidelined for several weeks while he recovers. The midfielder has been an undisputed starter and one of Mainz's true leaders, handling most set pieces, so his absence leaves a real void in the lineup. While he is out, Paul Nebel is in line to step into the starting role in the middle of the park and carry a bigger share of the workload.

With him sidelined, Paul Nebel slides into the engine room and is set to see an uptick in minutes until Amiri is cleared to return.
