Nathan Ake - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Starts against Galatasaray Ake had two tackles (two won), four clearances and one interception in Wednesday's 2-0 win versus Galatasaray.

Impact Ake would find his way back into the starting XI Wednesday after two games unused, as the defender played the full 90 in the middle of the defense. He would record a decent one interception, two tackles won and four clearances, proving his worth. However, after the signing of Mark Guehi, the defender's role in the team has taken another hit, set for more of a rotational role after he looked to be working into a starting role following the injuries of Josko Gvardiol (fracture) and Ruben Dias (hamstring).

Sees time against Tottenham Ake recorded one shot (zero on goal) and two crosses (two accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Ake would be called off the bench early into Saturday's match, with the defender entering in the 22nd minute after an injury to Rayan Ait-Nouri. Ake would see a rough time after entering the field with two goals allowed, struggling to keep pace on the left flank. It appears the defender should remain more of a rotational option this season, but could be called into play more depending on the seriousness of Ait-Nouri's injury.

Multiple injuries shorten season Ake started in eight of his 10 appearances while registering three interceptions, nine tackles and 22 clearances in the Premier League.

Impact Ake saw his season majorly hindered by his injury woes as he was reduced to a minimal 10 league appearances this season. This is a tough period for the defender who started in 24 games last campaign, holding a regular role for the club. He will now turn ot the next season and hope he can remain fit the whole way through, as with new additions to the defense this winter and possibly a new full-back during the summer, his spot for a place in the squad is starting to dwindle as he reaches age 30.

Impact Ake isn't an option for Saturday's clash despite returning to training Wednesday. The defender is hopeful of making a return for a May 17 trip to Crystal Palace, especially if he can ramp up his training.

Back in training Wednesday Ake (foot) was spotted back in team training on Wednesday, the club posted.

Impact Ake has been sidelined since early March due to a foot injury but was spotted back in team training on Wednesday which is a very positive sign since it suggests he isn't far from returning to the match squad and it might happen before the end of the season to help him build some fitness ahead of the Club World Cup at the end of the campaign.

Impact Ake has received his timeline for a return following the foot surgery he underwent after struggling over the past few months with the injury. This will be a long bout on the sidelines for the defender, as he will not be expected to be fit until May, leaving a return this season in question. If he were to play again, it wouldn't be until the final few games of the season, with Ruben Dias, Manuel Akanji and Abdukodir Khusanov to take most of the time in the center of the defense while he is out.

Impact Ake does not appear to be in a good spot after his early exit Saturday, with the defender viewed limping off the field before he was taken off at halftime. Early signs may show the defender will be out for a while, although he still has to undergo testing. This will leave the club with Adbukodir Khusanov to see more minutes along side Ruben Dias, with Manuel Akanji (groin) and John Stones (thigh) also injured.

Among substitutes Ake (undisclosed) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Real Madrid.

Impact Ake is back with the team after seeing the questionable tag ahead of the contest, finding a spot on the bench after clearing his undisclosed issues. He has not appeared in a match and missed the start since Dec. 21, so he will hope to return to the starting XI next contest now that he is fit.

Impact Ake is going to be a late call for Wednesday's contest, as he is traveling with the team but has not yet been cleared. That said, he will likely be subjected to a late fitness test, with that deciding if he can play or not. Even if he is fit, his chances of making the starting XI seem slim.
