Doesn't make squad Nianzou (undisclosed) is not in the squad for Friday's game against PSG.

Impact Even though manager Davide Ancelotti said Nianzou had recovered from his minor injury, it seems Lille are playing it safe and won't risk the defender. His next chance to return to action will come against Toulouse on Thursday, Sep. 3.

Back available against PSG Nianzou (undisclosed) is available for Friday's clash against Paris Saint-Germain after recovering from his minor injury, according to coach Davide Ancelotti.

Impact Nianzou missed the season opener against Angers due to a minor issue, but his absence proved brief as expected, with the defender now cleared to return against PSG. He provides manager Davide Ancelotti with additional depth in central defense, though Alexsandro and Nathan Ngoy remain the leading candidates to start, meaning Nianzou could initially have to settle for a role off the bench.

Ruled out for season opener Nianzou (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's season opener against Angers due to a minor injury but is expected to be available for the following match against PSG, according to coa...

Impact Nianzou's absence is only a brief one, with the club not overly concerned given his return is already targeted for Lille's next match. He's expected to serve as a backup option behind Alexsandro and Nathan Ngoy in central defense this season, so his short term absence shouldn't have a significant impact on the club's plans up front in the back line.

Ends ban Nianzou has served his suspension and is an option again for play.

Impact Nianzou has served his one-game ban after a red card and is set to be an option moving forward. Injuries have plagued him this season, limiting him to only 12 appearances, hoping to end the season on the field and fit.

Sevilla slips closer to relegation after 3rd straight loss. Getafe boosts its European hopes

Sevilla has lost 1-0 at last-placed Oviedo to stay just two points above the relegation zone in the Spanish league

APRIL 5 • Associated Press

First half red card Nianzou was shown a red card in the 38th minute of Sunday's match against Oviedo.

Impact Nianzou will now miss a match through suspension and possibly more, as he received a straight red card in the first half of Sunday's contest. This will leave him out to at least face Atletico Madrid on April 11, returning to face Levante on April 23 if his suspension is not upgraded. He has started in three of their past four games, so this will force a change, with a returning Cesar Azpilicueta (groin) or Andres Castrin as potential replacements.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Returning from ban Nianzou is no longer banned and is an option moving forward.

Impact Nianzou served his one game out, ending his ban. He started in two straight games before the ban, but has only started in five of his nine appearances all season, more of a depth pick.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Suspended one game Nianzou will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in the La Liga.

Impact Nianzou collected his fifth yellow card in La Liga action and will be suspended for Saturday's derby against Real Betis. The center-back has been a steady presence in the starting XI whenever healthy, logging consistent minutes along the back line, so his absence leaves a clear gap in the defensive setup. Cesar Azpilicueta is the leading candidate to slide into a more central role for that matchup as the team adjusts to the suspension.

Bench option Nianzou (leg) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Girona.

Impact Nianzou was back in contention for Sunday and after some testing, the defender is returning from a leg injury. He will hope to avoid the injury bug again this season, as this is his fourth different absence due to injuries this campaign, missing 15 games in the process.

Back in contention Nianzou (leg) is back in contention for Saturday's clash against Girona, coach Matias Almeyda said in the press conference, according to Zona Mixta. "Azpilicueta and Nianzou will b...

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.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers new setback Nianzou suffered a new low-grade injury to the biceps femoris in his right leg and is not training with the team, according to Zona Mixta.

Impact Nianzou is still struggling with injuries after suffering a new leg issue upon returning for the last two games following a hamstring injury. The defender appears unable to maintain his fitness and is likely to spend more time on the sidelines.

DECEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

A return to the XI could come soon depending on how Sevilla manage his minutes.

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.

Not playing vs. Mallorca Nianzou (hamstring) won't be an option to face Mallorca on Saturday, manager Matias Almeyda told media during Friday's pre-match press conference. "He felt some discomfort after re...

Impact Nianzou has been limited to three appearances due to injuries, but he's capable of competing for a starting role when healthy. Judging by the words of Almeyda, the Frenchman could have a realistic shot at being available to face Real Sociedad on Friday, Oct. 24.

Running on grass Nianzou (hamstring) was running on grass Tuesday, according to his club.

This is solid news for the defender, who will now look to train with the team and return to play soon. He started in two of his three appearances thus far between injuries and will work towards that spot when Sevilla resumes play against Mallorca on Oct. 18.

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.
