Impact Nianzou resumed team training this week with Sevilla and will make the match squad for Saturday's clash against Girona. The defender has been struggling with injuries since several season now so there's no doubt that this time the coaching staff will be even more cautious with his fitness and that Nianzou won't be rushed back into the mix. He is likely to see minutes off the bench in coming fixtures before competing again for a role in the backline.

Suffers setback Nianzou suffered a new setback from his hamstring injury and is ruled out for the time being, the club announced.

Impact Nianzou is sidelined after suffering a setback from his hamstring injury and will be out for the time being. This is a blow for Sevilla since the center-back is expected to be a regular starter in the backline when fit and available, and they will need to cope without him moving forward. With Cesar Azpilicueta (calf) also a doubt, Fabio Cardoso could be the one starting in central defense against Espanyol on Nov. 24.

Impact Nianzou suffered a setback after coming back from injury late September but is seeing a good progression towards his return since he was spotted in team training on Thursday.

Aiming return next week Nianzou (hamstring) is expected to resume team training next week, coach Matias Almeyda said in the press conference.

Impact Nianzou will miss a fourth game in a row due to a hamstring injury but is expected to be back in training next week with the team and therefore not so far from returning. Nianzou started two of his three appearances this season and will likely be in competition for that role moving forward.

Impact Nianzou is struggling to keep himself fit as he suffered a new muscular injury in Tuesday's defeat against Villarreal and had to leave his teammates one man down for 20 minutes. This is a big blow for the defender since he was in the starting squad in the two games prior to this new setback and coach Matias Almeyda seemed to count on him. That said, his absence will need to be replaced once again in the back-three, with Marcao in good position to take a larger role in the backline for the Sevillians.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting vs. Elche Nianzou (thigh) is in the starting lineup for Friday's match against Elche.

Impact Manager Matias Almeyda decided to shake things up on the defensive end and Nianzou will get the start after leaving a thigh injury behind. He's set to start at center-back alongside Marcao in a 4-2-3-1 setting.

Could be involved Saturday Nianzou (thigh) is a late call for Saturday's match against Elche, according to manager Matias Almeyda. "I think he will be available. We will see for how many minutes, it is diffi...

Impact Nianzou looks to be in for a return Saturday after some time out with a thigh injury, just needing to pass some testing to be an option. This is good news, although he will likely only serve off the bench if fit. He was only available for six games all of last season due to injury and will hope to regain the starting role he saw to begin last season, probably needing to get a few matches under his belt before a start comes.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back in team training Nianzou (thigh) was spotted back in team training on Friday, the club posted.

Impact Nianzou suffered a season ending thigh injury last October and was spotted back in team training for the first time on Friday. This is a good development for the Frenchman, although he will probably hold a rotational role this season under new coach Matias Almeyda.

AUGUST 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealt strain Nianzou (thigh) is suffering from a strain, according to his club.

Impact Nianzou recieved surgery in January and seemed to be recovering well but has now hit a roadblock to start the preseason, as he hs been dealt a strain in his thigh. The club will likely take this cautiously after his previous injury, not wanting to risk him when his return will depend on his evolution. This will put him in a bit of a bind for the start of the season, being a close call to make the first match day.

Undergoes successful surgery Nianzou was successfully operated on the rectus femoris in his right thigh on Tuesday afternoon by Dr. Jordi Puigdellivol in Barcelona, the club announced. He will return to Sevill...

Impact Nianzou has suffered a setback from his thigh injury that required surgery. It is unclear when he will be able to return for Sevilla, as he has been injury-prone and has already missed 48 games since joining the club in 2022. Nemanja Gudelj, originally a midfielder, has been replacing him in central defense for most of the season.

JANUARY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scheduled for Surgery Thursday Nianzou is set to undergo surgery on his thigh on Tuesday, keeping him out longer for Sevilla.

Impact Nianzou has already been out since November with a tendon injury to his thigh. With the injury not getting better, he is set to undergo surgery to repair it, with his timeline to return still unclear, depending on his recovery.

JANUARY 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers new injury Nianzou has suffered a "severe" right thigh injury during Thursday's training session, the club announced.

Impact Nianzou was expected to return Sunday against Rayo Vallecano after overcoming a right hamstring injury, but this new injury will keep him sidelined for the time being. Further tests will be needed to reveal the extent of the injury, but the injury was described by severe, so he's expected to be out for the foreseeable future.

NOVEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set for return Sunday Nianzou (hamstring) is expected to be an option for Sunday's match against Rayo Vallecano. According to him, "I'm well prepared. I've been training since the start of the internati...

Impact Nianzou has missed three of the last four matches through injury, playing just twice during the month of October. He continues to be an option to start at center back for Sevilla, starting all six games played, making 26 clearances with eight interceptions.

NOVEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers hamstring injury Nianzou was diagnosed with a right hamstring injury Saturday and doesn't have a clear timetable for his return.

Impact The recovery process will ultimately determine Nianzou's timetable to return, but this is a massive blow for a Sevilla side that also lost Orjan Nyland (knee) and Loic Bade (thigh) due to injuries following the 2-0 win over Espanyol on Friday. This means Marcao and Kike Salas are expected to see more time at center-back, and even Nemanja Gudelj could play the position if needed.

OCTOBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Completes one-game ban Nianzou completed his one-game suspension and will be available to face Espanyol on Friday.

Impact Nianzou was sent off in the derby vs Betis and missed the match against Barcelona, which ended in a 5-1 defeat for the Andalucia side. Nianzou has been a regular for Sevilla all season long, and he should return to the side for the Friday matchup at Espanyol.

OCTOBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent off in derby Nianzou was sent off with a straight red card in Sunday's 1-0 win over Real Betis.

Impact Nianzou has been a starter in the five games he's been available for Sevilla in this current league campaign, but he'll be forced to miss the Barcelona match due to this red card. Nianzou will be eligible for selection against Espanyol on Oct. 25, and if the recent trends indicate anything, he could very well return to the XI right away.

OCTOBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Own goal during spot start Nianzou logged an own goal and two shots (zero on goal) during Sevilla's 2-2 draw Friday against Las Palmas.

Impact Not long after Alex Suarez scored an own goal, Nianzou logged one himself, taking away what would have been a first-half lead for Sevilla. Ideally for him, he can receive an immediate opportunity to redeem himself. But with Sevilla's next game scheduled against a tougher team in Villarreal, perhaps Los Nervionenses would be more comfortable using their initial pair of center-backs, with Loic Bade alongside Nemanja Gudelj.
