Samuel Chukwueze - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Finds bench Chukwueze (calf) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Tottenham.

Impact Chukwueze was looking for a return Sunday and has earned his spot in the squad, with the attacker fit for a bench spot. With three straight starts before his injury, he will look to capture a starting role after testing his legs, competing with Oscar Bobb for time after the injury to Kevin.

Could play Sunday Chukwueze (calf) is questionable for Sunday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Marco Silva. "Samuel has been in and out of contention, but he's had a good week."

Impact Chukwueze is looking to be on the right side of his return Sunday, with the attacker likely to play after missing their past two games. This is huge news for the club after the loss of Kevin (foot) for at least a few games and possibly more, leaving Chukwueze and Oscar Bobb as top replacements. That said, he will look to start on the left wing if fit, although they may be cautious with his return after just losing another winger.

Out vs. Sunderland Chukwueze is out for Sunday's game against Sunderland due to a calf injury, manager Marco Silva told media during Friday's pre-match press conference. "[Samuel] Chukwueze is going...

Impact Chukwueze didn't play in the 2-1 win over Stoke City in the FA Cup on Feb. 15, and he'll also be sidelined for this matchup. He was coming off three straight starts before the injury, and his absence should open the door for the presence of either Kevin or Oscar Bobb in the attacking line.

Whips in three crosses Chukwueze registered one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 3-0 loss versus Manchester City.

Impact Chukwueze earned a third straight start Wednesday and recorded a decent match from the flank, with a shot, two chances created and three crosses, although it was a third straight game without a goal contribution. He remains at three goals and four assists in 13 appearances this season.

Starting to face United Chukwueze is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Chukwueze is back with the team after some family matters left him uncertain for Sunday, with the attacker not just fit but starting immediately. This is only his fifth start in 12 appearances this season, bagging three goals and four assists in less than 500 minutes of play.

Impact Based on Silva's words, it seems Chukwueze will make the final call whether he plays or not. The winger has been a backup most of the season for Fulham but scored a goal in the win over Brighton the last time out. The Nigeria international has three goals and four assists in 10 appearances (three starts) with the Cottagers in 2025/26.

Scores in win over Brighton Chukwueze scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win over Brighton.

Impact Chukwueze scored the equalizer at the 72nd minute with a clever finish from close range after a delightful long ball from Joachim Andersen. Chukwueze has had some moments of brilliance with Fulham, but he has struggled to earn a regular starting role. Until that happens, he won't have a lot of fantasy appeal in most formats.

International duty over Chukwueze (international duty) is back in Fulham after his time at AFCON.

Impact Chukwueze has ended his time with Nigeria after AFCON, with the attacker back in training with the rest of his teammates Tuesday. He has been more of a rotational option this campaign, with three starts in nine appearances this season, recording two goals and four assists. A bench spot is likely for his return, although his time was starting to ramp up ahead of AFCON.

Serving with Nigeria Chukwueze has been called up by Nigeria for AFCON.

Impact Chukwueze will have to take a step away from Fulham just after starting to catch fire with the club, as the attacker is off to serve at AFCON. He has started in their past two games, so this is a loss for the club, especially after four goal contributions in their past five games, likely forcing Kevin and Adama Traore into more time. He is likely to miss out until the second week of January, potentially for more time.

Assists in transition Chukwueze assisted once to go with three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 win over Burnley.

Impact Chukwueze's threaded ball in transition opened up the Burnley backline and led to Fulham's final goal in their 3-2 triumph at Turf Moor. Across his last five appearances (three starts), the attacker has created nine chances from seven crosses (one accurate) and seven shots (two on goal) while soaring twice and supplying three assists. After beginning his Fulham career with five substitute appearances, Chukweze has been named to the starting XI in three of their last four league matchups.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Brace almost completes comeback Chukwueze scored two goals to go with four shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 5-4 defeat to Manchester City.

Impact Chukwueze took to the field at halftime of Wednesday's outing and would become a super substitute in his time on the field, with the attacker recording a goal in the 72nd and 78th minutes to almost propel a comeback. This is a third straight game with a goal contribution for the attacker, recording two assists and two goals during that span. He hopes this earns him some more starts moving forward, still with only one in seven appearances, although he does have five goal contributions.

Assists opener Saturday Chukwueze assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Chukwueze set up the early opener Saturday as he assisted Kenny Tete's outside-the-box strike in the fourth minute. It marked his third assist of the season, two of which have come in the last two matches. It also was his first start of the season after his excellent bench appearance last Saturday where he created five chances. He was subbed off in the 81st minute for Kevin.

Assists winner Saturday Chukwueze assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and five chances created in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Sunderland.

Impact Chukwueze assisted the match-winning goal Saturday as his cross set up Raul Jimenez's strike in the 84th minute. It marked his second assist of the season, an impressive mark considering he's made just six appearances off the bench. He also created a whopping five chances in Saturday's win in just 26 minutes of action.

Finds bench spot Saturday Chukwueze (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Wolves.

Impact Chukwueze is back in the matchday squad and will start Saturday's clash against Wolves on the bench. The winger last featured in early October and has been nursing a calf injury since then, limiting his opportunities to get back on the pitch. While he's available again, his involvement is likely to be limited as he builds up his fitness.

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will be assessed Chukwueze (calf) could be in contention to play against Wolverhampton on Saturday, manager Marco Silva told media during Friday's pre-match press conference. "The other players wil...

Impact Chukwueze has been nursing a calf injury for quite some time, but based on Silva's statement, the winger might have an outside chance of being available for this game. Chukwueze hasn't played since Oct. 3, and given that he's been limited to only three league outings off the bench, his fantasy upside should remain very low until further notice.

OCTOBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined Chukwueze (calf) is out for Saturday's game against Newcastle United, manager Marco Silva told media Thursday. "Chukwueze is still out... I think [Rodrigo] Muniz is closer than Chu...

Impact The speedy winger continues to deal with a nagging calf injury and won't be expected back any time soon, it seems. Chukwueze has been limited to just two bench appearances and 33 minutes in the 2025-26 EPL season, so his fantasy upside is really low anyway.

OCTOBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

In doubt for Gunners match Chukwueze is doubtful for Saturday's match against Arsenal due to a calf injury, according to manager Marco Silva. "Samuel came out of the last game for Nigeria, and today, he went...

Impact Chukwueze was dealt a calf injury while on national team duty and will not be doubtful in his return to club duty, needing to pass some testing to be an option. The good news is the club doesn't expect a major injury, likely not missing much time even if he is out Saturday. He has yet to start this season and will likely earn a bench role if fit to play.

OCTOBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Assist in loss to Cherries Chukwueze assisted once in Friday's 3-1 loss to AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Chuckwueze took to the field after 68 minutes Friday and made a material impact by providing the assist for Fulham's opening goal scored by Ryan Sessegnon. The goal contribution was well deserved, he immediately influenced the game with his playmaking, and showed good creativity with 25 passes and winning two of the four duels he engaged in. The striker joined the Cottagers from AC Milan on loan at the end of August, this was just his second appearance and he is yet to get a start. It is unlikely he will displace usual starting forward, Harry Wilson, in the short term.

Signs with Fulham on loan Chukwueze has been loaned to Fulham from AC Milan, according to his new club.

Impact Chukwueze is going to head to the Premier League for the next season as he joins Fulham for the 2025/26 campaign. He earned nine starts in 26 appearances last season while bagging three goals and two assists, a decent run of play for seeing under 1,000 minutes. He is likely to push for decent time with the club, although a rotational role may be likely for the attacker again.
