Orjan Nyland - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Second in goalkeeping hierarchy Nyland has been operating as the second-choice goalkeeper behind Maarten Vandevoordt this season.

Impact Nyland remains behind Maarten Vandevoordt in the goalkeeping hierarchy, leaving him with a limited path to regular playing time. His experience provides reliable depth at the position, but his opportunities should largely depend on rotation or Vandevoordt being unavailable.

Impact Nyland has overcome the issue that kept him out of Leipzig's opening matches and is now back working with the group. His return restores some depth in goal, though Maarten Vandevoordt remains the preferred starter, meaning Nyland should primarily serve as the backup goalkeeper even once fully available for selection.

Impact Nyland's foot issue will keep him sidelined for a second consecutive match after initially being described as minor. The goalkeeper remains behind Maarten Vandevoordt in the pecking order, so his absence should not affect Leipzig's starting lineup against Gladbach.

Picks up foot injury Nyland is out for Saturday's DFB Pokal match against Eintracht Trier on Saturday due to a minor foot injury, according to his club.

Impact Nyland is a slight worry for Leipzig now as they head into their season opener, as he is missing a DFB Pokal match due to a foot injury. Luckily for the goalie and the club, it has been deemed minor, so he could recover in the next week ahead of the Aug. 29 match against Gladbach. The good news is he is likely to be an option off the bench either way and the club's backup keeper, as Maarten Vandevoordt will likely be the starter in net this campaign.

Nyland will bring competition to Maarten Vandevoordt who is expected to hold the number 1 spot between the posts heading into 2026/27.

Four saves for win Nyland made four saves and allowed one goal in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over Cote D'ivoire.

Impact Nyland made four saves during Tuesday's win, including some truly heroic ones late in the second half. The goalkeeper was excellent throughout the match and shut down some excellent attacking moves. He will be tested even more thoroughly next time out, as Norway prepare to take on Brazil's high-flying attack.

Beaten twice in Senegal clash Nyland registered two saves and allowed two goals in Monday's 3-2 victory over Senegal.

Impact Nyland was beaten twice by Ismaila Sarr from point-blank range, as the opponent faced little resistance in the box, and the goalie couldn't do a lot more to prevent the goals. He has made two saves and three clearances and allowed three goals so far. Norway will face France on Friday.

JUNE 23 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes with little to do Nyland made no saves and allowed one goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win against Iraq.

Impact Nyland had little to do for most of the game, with Iraq's goal coming from a perfectly placed header that was beyond his control. Norway's backline did not perform to the level expected, as Iraq fired off 11 shots, only one fewer than Norway managed going forward, a result that raises some questions given the fixture was considered the more favorable one on paper. Up next is Senegal, who suffered defeat to France and will be chasing a positive result of their own to improve their qualification chances.

JUNE 17 • ROTOWIRE

Between the posts for Norway Nyland is set to serve as the starter goalie for Norway at the 2026 World Cup.

Impact Nyland is heading to the World Cup this summer as he and Norway look to make waves. This comes despite his limited usage during the league season, serving as the backup for Sevilla and only earning five starts, recording a clean sheet, eight goals allowed and 11 saves. He will then need to be at his best to keep Norway in the tournament, a keeper who has seen a decent run in his two seasons as a starting keeper. Facing two tough attacks in Senegal and France during the group stage could be tough for the keeper, with not the best defense in the tournament ahead of him, although he could see a very good result in their match against Iraq.

JUNE 4 • ROTOWIRE

Ends season in net Nyland made two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss versus Celta Vigo.

Impact Nyland got the call Saturday during the final match of the season. He made two saves while allowing a goal during the loss to Celta Vigo. The keeper was downgraded to the second string goalkeeper for 2025/26, recording five appearances in league play, making eight saves while allowing 11 goals, securing just a clean sheet.

Returns to backup role Nyland (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Real Madrid.

Impact Nyland was back in training, and that has led to his return, finding a spot on the bench. He has been relegated to a backup role and has yet to start since the fourth game of the season, likely to stick to his rotational role in most games moving forward.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Trains Friday Nyland (calf) was back in training Friday, according to Rocio Guevara of Marca.

Impact Nyland was able to train this week and could be back for a return Saturday, likely just needing to pass some testing to be an option for the contest. Even if he is an option, he is likely to return to a bench role and serve as their backup, as he has gone unused in their past 11 games.

DECEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up calf injury Nyland is suffering from a calf injury and is out for Sunday's match against Oviedo, according to Jose Gordillo of Marca.

Impact Nyland will be absent as the club heads into the weekend, as he was limited in training this week and had to go indoors, with the club fearing a calf injury. Luckily for the club, this is a minor absence, as he is their backup keeper. That said, Alvaro Fernandes will likely join the call as the backup in net, with Odysseas Vlachodimos continuing as the starter.

DECEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Makes zero saves in draw Nyland had no saves and allowed two goals in Friday's 2-2 draw versus Elche.

Impact Nyland made zero saves for the second time in four starts in the season. The goalkeeper has one clean sheet over that span. He will now look for better luck at Alaves on Saturday.
