Niko Hansen - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Ruled out Saturday Hansen (ankle) is out for Saturday's clash with Austin, according to the Minnesota injury report.

Impact Hansen is out for Saturday's clash with Austin after being listed with an ankle injury. It's not clear how serious the issue is for Hansen but this is the first that's been reported of the injury. Hansen has made just three substitute appearances so far in 2022.

Assists as substitute Hansen had an assist with his lone chance created during Saturday's 2-1 win over Houston.

Impact Hansen entered the match in the 66th minute and set up Bongokuhle Hlongwane in the 72nd for what would end up being the game winning goal. The assist was the first of the season for the midfielder as he made the most of his limited time on the pitch.

Plays in club friendly Hansen (thigh) started in Wednesday's friendly victory against Everton.

Impact Hansen made his first appearance for Minnesota since May after missing the last seven MLS matches with a thigh injury. Even when healthy, he is unlikely to feature much for United as he has made just one league appearance so far in 2022.

Out with adductor injury Hansen is expected to miss some time with an adductor injury, Minnesota United manager Adrian Heath said last week.

Impact Hansen has been dealing with this injury since early May, and it has limited him to just one appearance in MLS so far this season. He is out for Saturday's clash against Inter Miami at least, and likely still has a few weeks of recovery ahead of him.

Features in cup match Hansen (lower body) subbed into Wednesday's U.S. Open Cup match against Union Omaha in the 59th minute and he played the final half hour of the 2-1 defeat.

Impact Hansen returned to the pitch Wednesday after missing a few games with a lower body injury, but even when healthy he has made just one appearance in MLS so far this season.

Out with lower body injury Hansen will miss Wednesday's clash against the Galaxy due to a lower body injury, Andy Greder of the Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Hansen has made just one appearance off the bench this season in MLS, so his absence on Wednesday won't have a major impact on Minnesota United.

Returns to bench Hansen (groin) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Houston Dynamo.

Impact Hansen has been out since mid-August with a groin injury and is just now making his return to the bench. When he departed the team he had fallen out of the starting XI, so he is unlikely to move off the bench in general, even when healthy.

Dealing with groin injury Hansen is expected to miss a "few weeks" with a recent groin injury suffered in training, reports the Pioneer Press.

Impact Hansen no longer has a starting role in the team, but he could've been used with Robin Lod also hurt. Hansen racked up some starts while the Euros were going on, but he's managed just five starts from nine appearances this season and a new injury won't help.

Scores in season/club debut Hansen scored once and took one shot (one on target) in the 1-1 draw with Real Salt Lake on Saturday.

Impact Hansen was essentially useless until the final minutes of the match Saturday. The match marked his season and club debut for Minnesota and he got extremely lucky with his positioning and poor decision making by the opposing keeper. Hansen managed to deflect a punched ball in the latter stages of the match to tie the game. Prior to arriving in Minnesota he split his career between Columbus and Houston, but he never made a significant impact with either club. It remains to be seen what his role will be with Minnesota and what direction he will take them in.

Ready for season debut Hansen (thigh) has been training and is an option for Saturday's match against RSL, according to head coach Adrian Heath.

Impact Hansen has been out multiple months with a thigh issue to open the season, but it looks like he's ready to go again. He probably won't start immediately and with a couple newcomers in the side, it's hard to see him winning a starting gig after starting eight matches for Houston last season.
