Nordi Mukiele - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Subbed off after friendly fire Mukiele was forced off in the 52nd minute of Sunday's match against Leeds United due to an apparent throat or face injury.

Impact Mukiele would have an early end to his day Sunday, as the defender would only play a few minutes after half due to an injury. He would leave due to some friendly fire, taking an elbow to the throat from a teammate, and was unable to continue after that. As a regular defender in the defense, the club will monitor his status closely, missing only one league start all season. He was replaced by Omar Alderete, although a handful of players could take Mukiele's role if he misses further time, with Trai Hume, Alderete, and Dayann Methalie as the leading options.

Impact Mukiele would see quite a bit of action on both sides of the ball Sunday, showing off his endurance in the eight-goal thriller. He would notch a shot, two chances created and five crosses in the attack, still looking for his first goal contribution this season. He would also see a lot of work in the defense as City scored five against them, notching four tackles and four interceptions.

Offers attacking threat Mukiele had four shots (one on goal) and three crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Arsenal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 91st minute.

Impact Mukiele was one of Sunderland's most active attacking players despite starting in defense, producing four shots and pushing forward regularly throughout the contest. He tested David Raya once and added three crosses, showing his willingness to get involved in the final third as Sunderland searched for a breakthrough. Mukiele's ability to occupy advanced positions should continue to give him opportunities for attacking contributions from the back.

Impact Mukiele produced another high-volume defensive performance, with nine clearances and four tackles won demonstrating his physical involvement throughout the contest. He has now registered at least nine clearances in consecutive Premier League appearances, making him an important presence when Sunderland are placed under pressure. His attempted clearance did fall to Vitaly Janelt for Brentford's goal, but the overall defensive workload remained substantial.

Available from bench Mukiele (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Ipswich Town.

Impact Mukiele's recovery has been handled cautiously with the long season in mind after he missed the final friendly with a knock. He is now back in contention and could push for a starting role in the coming games, though new signing Thomas Meunier will get the nod for this game.

Impact Mukiele's recovery had been managed carefully with the long season in mind rather than any single fixture, and having missed the Rennes win with a knock, his return to full fitness now puts him back in the mix at right back. He'll nonetheless face fresh competition for the starting role after Sunderland's summer addition of Thomas Meunier, who is also cleared for the opener.

Impact Mukiele's recovery has been handled with an eye on the long season ahead rather than any single fixture, which is why Sunderland opted to hold him out of preseason action. The right back was a regular starter last term and will look to reclaim that role once fully fit, though the club's summer signing of Thomas Meunier now adds fresh competition for the spot. Mukiele is expected to need a normal training week before manager Regis Le Bris commits to starting him against Ipswich.

Dealing with mild issue Mukiele was excluded from his team's friendly game against Lens due a discomfort about which boss Regis Le Bris commented "Omar and Nordi have minor injuries. It's important we tak...

Impact Mukiele will look to remain the Black Cats' starting right-back in the upcoming season assuming he completes a quick recovery from his current problem. With both attacking and defensive responsibilities, he could be a solid two-way contributor as soon as he's fully fit. However, he now faces bigger competition for the spot after the club signed Thomas Meunier from Lille.

AUGUST 8 • ROTOWIRE

Nets opening goal Mukiele scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Wolverhampton.

Impact Mukiele would find the back of the net early Saturday and give his team the initial lead, scoring in the 17th minute. This is the defenders thrid goal of the season while also having three assists, solid production from a right-back. He now has two goals in his past four appearances.

Impact Mukiele is working towards a return and is eyeing being an option Sunday, now a late call, who will face a fitness check ahead of match time. This is a major storyline to watch, as the club could be without multiple defenders as he tries to return from a four-game absence. That said, if fit, a starting spot could be waiting, with Lutsharel Geertruida likely to take his spot again if he remains out.

Newcastle's Nick Woltemade conundrum: Why Magpies might consider selling £65m striker after just one season

Impact Mukiele remains unavailable for Saturday's clash against Brighton due to a calf injury that has already forced him to miss the last three matches. The versatile defender, capable of playing both center-back and full-back, has been an important piece in the back line, so his continued absence is a significant blow for the side. He has started all 25 Premier League matches he has appeared in this season, with Lutsharel Geertruida expected to start at right-back in his place.

Impact Mukiele is seeing progress this week but has yet to take the training field, with the defender likely to run to begin next week. This would then warrant a return soon, needing to be boosted to team training before he is thought to be an option for either Brighton or Newcastle. He has only missed two games so far, trying to gain back another versatile option in the defense.

Impact Mukiele is expected to miss two to three weeks due to a leg injury sustained in the last match against Fulham and will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis to monitor his response to treatment. Mukiele is an undisputed starter for his side, having started the last 27 matches, and his absence is likely to be felt. Lutsharel Geertruida is expected to take on a larger role until his return.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Off after 12 minutes Mukiele was forced off in the 12th minute of Sunday's match against Fulham due to an apparent leg injury.

Impact Mukiele went down just eight minutes into Sunday's match and would be taken off the field minutes later, suffering an off-ball injury that saw him clutching his leg after. That said, the immediate look doesn't seem positive for the defender, as a noncontact injury could mean a longer time out with a muscle issue. This does leave a gap in the defense, with Lutsharel Geetruida, who replaced him Sunday, a potential replacement moving forward.

Two shots in win Mukiele registered two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Monday's 3-0 victory against Burnley.

Impact Mukiele took two shots and created a pair of chances during Monday's win. The defender was solid throughout the match and finally got a chance to stretch his legs offensively. For the most part his role has been more conservative in the Premier League, but against weaker opponents he's still a solid attacking full-back.

Sets up goal Saturday Mukiele had an assist with his lone chance created while crossing five times (one accurate) and blocking a shot during Saturday's match against West Ham.

Impact Mukiele set up Brian Brobbey in the 66th minute while leading Sunderland in crosses and blocks as of his substitution in the 83rd minute. Mukiele has assists in back-to-back matches and has lined up at right back in three straight fixtures resulting in improved attacking output including three chances created and 14 crosses in those matches.
