Nathan Ake - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Not available against Liverpool Ake (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Liverpool as he continues recovering from an adductor injury sustained against Slavia Prague, accordin...

Impact Ake will miss Wednesday's European encounter after suffering an adductor strain that forced him off just 21 minutes into Fenerbahce's previous Champions League fixture against Slavia Prague. Coach Ismail Kartal initially described the problem as minor, although the defender's continued absence indicates he has yet to recover sufficiently to return to competitive action. His unavailability represents a significant setback for Fenerbahce's defensive depth, particularly with Kojo Peprah Oppong (undisclosed) also dealing with an injury sustained against Goztepe. Milan Skriniar will pair with either Archie Brown or Yigit Demir against the Reds. Ake's absence consequently reduces coach Kartal's options for defensive rotation against Liverpool, while no definitive timetable has been established for his return.

Exits with injury Tuesday Ake exited with an undisclosed injury in Tuesday's UCL match against Slavia Prague.

Impact Ake left the game in the 21st minute and further tests will be needed to determine the extent of the injury. Kojo Peprah took his place in the lineup, and he should be in line for more playing time at center-back if Ake has to miss time.

Tallies three clearances in Tunisia match Ake won one tackle and three clearances, two interceptions and one key pass in Thursday's 3-1 win over Tunisia.

Impact Ake drew his first start in the competition thanks to some rotation, handling the left-back role over Micky van de Ven, who was one yellow card away from disqualification, and had a serviceable outing, but the Netherlands were unable to secure a clean sheet. He wasn't challenged too much. He hadn't logged any stats in his only previous cameo in the opener.

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).
