Orel Mangala - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Ruled out with muscle discomfort Mangala (muscle) has been ruled out for Saturday's La Liga clash against Barcelona due to muscular discomfort, according to the club.

Impact Mangala will be unavailable for Saturday's matchup after experiencing an unspecified muscle issue, with the severity of the problem and a potential return timeline still unclear. The midfielder joined Getafe on loan from Lyon through the end of the season without an option to buy and is expected to compete for regular playing time in central midfield alongside Ramon Terrats. His absence reduces Getafe's midfield depth against Barcelona, while his availability for the club's upcoming fixtures will depend on how quickly he recovers from the discomfort.

Loaned to Getafe Mangala joined Getafe on loan without an option to buy through the end of the season, the club announced.

Impact Mangala joined Lyon in January 2024 from Nottingham Forest and made 27 appearances across all competitions with the club, remaining under contract through June 2028 despite the move. He's expected to line up alongside Ramon Terrats in central midfield at Getafe, where he'll look to gain regular playing time during his loan spell in Spain.

Impact Mangala has seen the worst possible outcome after an early exit from the club's last contest, as he has been diagnosed with a torn ACL. The midfielder will now return to France for his surgery and will re-link with Lyon, ending his stay on loan with Everton. He finishes the season starting in 14 of his 19 appearances, notching one goal. He will now hope to be fit ahead of the new season, likely eyeing a return for October or September.

Impact Mangala was a late exit from Saturday's match, with the midfielder forcing the club to play with 10 men due to them having no more substitutions available. He has started in 14 of his 19 appearances this season, so this could be a huge loss for the club. He will hope for the best following his assessment, with newly fit James Garner as a possible replacement moving forward if Mangala misses time.

Takes three shots in loss Mangala had three shots (one on target) and made two tackles, one clearance and one interception during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Southampton.

Impact Mangala returned to the starting XI after coming off the bench in each of the last two outings and, if there wasn't much defensive work for him, he went up the field to support the attack and even got very close to scoring from long range. Games like this are still outliers, though, as Mangala's three shots matched his production from the previous seven appearances combined.

Active in England Mangala started the final three matches before the international break.

Impact Mangala played off the bench in his first match for Everton, but he's since been straight into the starting XI. The defensive midfielder has plenty to do defensively in England, and will likely be given few chances to get forward. He was only with Lyon for about half a season before being loaned back to England in search of playing time.

Joins Everton on loan Mangala has joined Everton on a season-long loan deal from Lyon, his new club announced Friday.

Impact Mangala wasn't selected for Friday's Lyon clash against Strasbourg, and the reason might be that this transfer was in the works. Mangala shouldn't have problems establishing himself as a regular for Everton once he's cleared to make his debut after the international duty.

Not selected Mangala (undisclosed) isn't available for Friday's clash with Strasbourg, according to manager Pierre Sage.

Playing over break Mangala (knock) started and went 64 minutes in Friday's match with Belgium over the international break.

Impact Mangala has dealt with some minor knocks the first couple months of the season, but none of them have been overly serious and he was again on the pitch for Belgium over the international break. He expects to remain there for Forest going forward, as he's turned into maybe their most reliable defensive midfielder. Of course, in this role he has no shots on target and just three chances created in seven starts.

Exits with knock Saturday Mangala was forced off in the final minutes of Saturday's match against Crystal Palace with a knock.

Impact It didn't seem like a major injury for Mangala, so the hope is that he'll recover over the break and possibly get minutes with the Belgium national team. Mangala has started all but one match for Forest this season and expects to maintain that role out of the break unless this issue turns into something bigger.

Starting against Chelsea Mangala (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's match against Chelsea.

Impact It's quite surprising to see Mangala in the lineup for this one, as manager Steve Cooper stated the midfielder "wasn't an option" during his presser Thursday. He is expected to take on a more defensive-minded role in a 3-4-2-1 while playing alongside Danilo as the CM duo.

Impact Mangala has been officially ruled out for the clash with Chelsea after having previously been considered a doubt to return before the international break. Prior to getting hurt, the midfielder started each of the first two matches of the season in which he recorded five tackles (two won), three interceptions and one chance created. Once cleared to play, Mangala should be a near-lock to reclaim his place in the starting XI.

Impact Mangala's injury isn't believed to be serious but it kept him off the pitch during a 3-2 loss to Manchester United. Ryan Yates got the start in place of Mangala and could continue in the first team for a Saturday trip to Chelsea.

He did establish himself as a mainstay in the starting XI during the second half of the season though, as he started nine of the last 11 matches. If he can stay healthy and get more playing time next season, his production will likely increase.

JUNE 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
