Samuel Chukwueze - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Produces in Venezia fixture Chukwueze won two of three tackles and had one shot (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Friday's 2-0 victory versus Venezia.

Impact Chukwueze has been excellent as a wing-back in his return to San Siro and followed up a good showing in the opener by co-leading his team in key passes and crosses and was on point on the other end as well. He might face competition from Alexis Saelemaekers, Pervis Estupinan and Diego Moreira. He has notched at least three chances created, racking up seven, and three tackles, amassing 11 (four accurate), through two bouts.

Provides assist in win Chukwueze assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), eight crosses (three accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Torino.

Impact Chukwueze led his team with eight crosses and four chances created, one of which set up Adrien Rabiot for the second goal of the game in the 66th minute. The attacker, now deployed in a wing-back position, got off to a superb start in the 2026/27 campaign, with crossing accuracy adding to his usual dribbling value. He had previously scored one goal and assisted twice during the final preseason game against Manchester United, and the encouraging league display should further boost his chances of retaining high playing time in upcoming matches.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to Milan Chukwueze is back at Milan as Fulham didn't exercise their clause to Milan.

Impact Chukwueze had decent success in a rotational role in 2025/2026, putting up three goals and four assists and logging 25 shots (seven on target), 24 chances created and 44 crosses (eight accurate) in 23 appearances (10 starts). He could have a chance to stay at Milan if he performs well during the pre-season.

Fails to provide spark Chukwueze recorded five crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact None of Chukwueze's crosses were accurate, and he was unable to spark a lethargic Fulham side in the second half. The attacker will need to do better if he's brought on against Wolves but the matchup is better, as the team has allowed a whopping 66 goals in EPL play this season.

MAY 9 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

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.

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

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.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

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.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

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.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Uncertain to play Sunday Chukwueze is uncertain to play Sunday against Manchester United due to the passing of his mother, manager Marco Silva told media during Friday's press conference. "We are supportin...

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.

JANUARY 30 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.
