Reiss Nelson - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Uncertain return timeline Nelson (muscular) didn't feature in Saturday's 2-0 victory over AZ Alkmaar and is a doubt for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Como, with no clear timetable established f...

Impact Nelson is dealing with a muscular injury that has interrupted his integration into Feyenoord's squad following the resolution of his work-permit issues. The winger made his return to competitive action with a 12-minute appearance off the bench in the 5-0 victory over Utrecht before the international break, but his latest setback has left him unavailable for selection. Although Nelson is now eligible to feature in the Champions League, his fitness remains a concern, and it is unclear whether he will recover in time for Wednesday's matchup. His absence limits Feyenoord's attacking depth as he continues working toward establishing a regular role in the rotation.

Eligible for UCL matches Nelson (not injury related) is now eligible to play in the UEFA Champions League, according to Gijs Kila of Feyenoord Pings.

Impact Nelson came off the bench in the 5-0 win over Utrecht in the final match of the Eredivisie before the international break, logging 12 minutes but failing to crack the scoresheet. Now that his work-permit issues have been solved, Nelson should be an option for the Rotterdam club in both the domestic and European stage.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Not an option Nelson (not injury related) is out for Wednesday's match against Barcelona.

Impact Nelson is heading to the sidelines for Feyenoord's first league stage match of the UCL campaign, as the attacker is still not on the team sheet. This is likely linked to his work permit issues, still needing a bit more time before he can join the team. That said, he should be cleared to play by their second match in the competition.

Work permit makes him doubtful Nelson is still waiting for his work permit, leaving his participation in the trip to face Barcelona on Wednesday uncertain, according to 1908.nl.

Impact Nelson recently signed with Feyenoord through mid 2027 on a free transfer after his contract with Arsenal expired, but Brexit related complications have made obtaining a permit for British players more complex, though the club remains confident the situation will be resolved in time. He faces competition on the right wing from Gaoussou Diarra and young talents Jivayno Zinhagel and Jerayno Schaken, with Luciano Valente also able to cover the position.

SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Signs with Feyenoord on free transfer Nelson has signed with Feyenoord for the 2026/27 season on a free transfer after his contract with Arsenal expired this summer, according to the club.

Impact Nelson previously spent the 2021/22 season on loan at Feyenoord, playing a key role in the club's run to the Conference League final against Roma in Tirana, before more recent loan spells at Fulham and Brentford in the Premier League. The English winger, who came through Arsenal's academy and made his first team debut at 17, will wear the number 17 shirt as he returns to Rotterdam.

SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to Arsenal after loan spell Nelson has returned to Arsenal following the conclusion of his season-long loan at Brentford, the club announced.

Impact Nelson made 14 appearances across all competitions during his time in west London, scoring in October's 5-0 Carabao Cup victory against Grimsby Town and assisting once off bench in the Premier League. Director of football Phil Giles acknowledged Nelson would have preferred more Premier League minutes but praised his positivity, attitude and experience around the training ground and matchdays, noting he leaves the club in better physical shape than when he arrived having not played significant minutes since December 2024 while on loan at Fulham prior to joining Brentford.

MAY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Assist from bench Nelson assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 2-1 loss against Manchester United.

Impact Nelson only appeared off the bench for 17 minutes Monday, but did well with his little time on the field, finding Mathias Jensen in the 87th minute for a goal and assist. This does come as the attackers' first goal contribution of the season, taking five shots and two chances created to reach that mark. However, he is yet to start a match, with all nine appearances from the bench.

APRIL 29 • ROTOWIRE

Fit for bench Nelson (calf) is on the bench for Monday's match against Wolves.

Impact Nelson is back in the squad Monday after passing some testing, as the attacker entered the game as a late call. He hopes to see some time after his last appearance was on Jan. 10, going unused in between injuries since then. However, he has yet to start in his six appearances this season, also yet to earn a goal contribution in his minimal 50 minutes of play.

Late call to face Wolves Nelson (calf) will be a late call for Monday's game against Wolverhampton, according to manager Keith Andrews. "[Reiss] Nelson is going to be part of the [training] group tomorrow....

Impact Nelson didn't play in the FA Cup loss to West Ham United on Monday, and a late call on his availability will be made for Monday's matchup. Even if he's available, Nelson won't be much of a factor in most fantasy formats.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Uncertain for Monday Nelson (calf) is uncertain to be available for Monday's FA Cup match against West Ham United, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Reiss will hopefully be involved, but we're not en...

Impact Nelson has missed the last two games due to a calf injury, but he hasn't seen minutes since he started in the FA Cup against Sheffield Wednesday on Jan. 10. Even if the winger is fit enough to see action Monday, he'll likely to be on the bench against a Premier League opponent.

Dealing with calf problem Nelson missed Saturday's clash against Burnley due to a calf problem but is expected to resume full team training in the coming days, the club announced.

Impact Nelson missed Saturday's clash against the Clarets due to a calf issue that ruled him out of the match. The attacking midfielder is expected to return to full team training in the coming days and is therefore a doubt for Tuesday's clash against Bournemouth. That said, he likely remains a depth piece for the Bees after going unused in each of his last four appearances on the bench, therefore a potential absence from him won't impact the starting XI.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Available again Nelson is an option for upcoming games after being loan locked during Thursday's clash with Arsenal.

Impact Nelson has made just seven appearances considering EPL and FA Cup action in the current campaign, and it remains to be seen if he'll play a bigger role in the remaining fixtures. In any case, he'll be back in contention with Kevin Schade, Dango Ouattara and Keane Lewis-Potter on the wings going forward.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Loan locked Thursday Nelson is loan locked for Thursday's clash against his parent club Arsenal.

Impact Nelson is unavailable for Thursday's showdown against his parent club Arsenal due to loan restrictions. The attacking midfielder is set to be back in the mix for next week's clash against Brighton and his absence against the Gunners does not affect the starting XI since he has mostly been used off the bench in recent outings.

Impact Nelson didn't make the squad for Sunday's clash against Aston Villa after picking up a minor knock ahead of kickoff. The attacking midfielder has since recovered from the issue and is fully fit moving forward for the Bees. Nelson was largely used as a bench option this season for Brentford and is expected to slide back into that role going forward.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Makes bench Saturday Nelson (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's game against Bournemouth.

Impact Nelson will finally return to the bench after missing the previous four EPL contests. He'll add depth to the final third, which is a huge need for Brentford due to the absence of Dango Ouattara due to international duty.

Impact Nelson missed the last four Premier League games due to an undisclosed injury but was back in team training in recent days and is in good place physically. The attacking midfielder will be a late fitness call ahead of Saturday's clash against the Cherries and will likely resume a bench role if deemed fit enough to make the match squad.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out to face Wolves Nelson (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Wolves.

Impact Nelson is out to face Wolves as he continues to work his way back from an undisclosed injury. He needs a few more days to recover and remains unavailable after also missing the Carabao Cup match. This extends his absence to five games although it remains a minor issue for the club.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Close to return Nelson (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's match against Manchester City but is nearing a return, according to manager Keith Andrews. "Reiss won't make this one. We've pushed him...

Impact Nelson is still not an option as he works his back from an undisclosed injury, needing another few days to recover from the issues, and out for their Carabao Cup match. This will extend his absence to four games, although it is still a minor absence for the club. Once fit, he will likely return to a role on the bench.

DECEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Nelson (undisclosed) is out for Sunday's match against Leeds United.

Impact Nelson was a late call for Sunday, but appears to have failed his testing ahead of the match, as the attacker is not an option. This is a third straight match missed, but a minor issue for the club, only appearing in three games all season.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Late call for Sunday Nelson (undisclosed) is a late call for Sunday's match against Leeds United, according to manager Keith Andrews. "Reiss is doing pretty well," the west Londoners' head coach revea...

Impact Nelson was suffering from a knock but has been recovering this week, potentially an option to face Leeds if he can pass testing. He was only dealing with a knock, so this does seem plausible, just needing to pass some testing to be an opton. However, even if he is an option for the club, he will likely earn a bench role, starting in zero of his three appearances this campaign for a total of 31 minutes of play.

DECEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suffering from knock Nelson was not an option for Saturday's 2-0 loss to Tottenham due to a knock, according to manager Keith Andrews, per Sam Tabuteau of the Standard. "Reiss picked up an injury last...

Impact Nelson would not be in the call for the club's past two games, with the attacker hitting the sidelines after suffering an injury against Burnley ahead of the busy week. This is something to watch for the attacker, as he will try to recover quickly and see the field next contest, especially seeing it was only deemed a knock. However, he has only appeared off the bench three times all season for 31 minutes, a minor loss for the team.

DECEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Loan-locked to face Arsenal Nelson is out for Wednesday's match against Arsenal due to a loan-lock.

Impact Nelson is not an option for the club as they prepare to face the Gunners, with the attacker out due to a loan-lock when facing his parent club. Luckily for the club, this is a minor loss, as he has only appeared in three games all season, all of which came from the bench. He will next be an option when facing Tottenham on Dec. 6.

Option Saturday Nelson (illness) is an option for Saturday's match against Manchester City, according to his club.

Impact Nelson has been missing for just under a month now due to an illness, but is now set to return to the team sheet Saturday, with the attacker taking to the training field this week. He has yet to appear all season, only seeing a bench spot once, where he went unused. That said, he will likely earn a bench spot again Saturday, hoping to earn his debut.
