Salah and Mbeumo lead the list of Premier League players heading to the AFCON

Mohamed Salah has gone to the Africa Cup of Nations for up to a month and cost Liverpool its all-time leading goal-scorer in the Premier League

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.

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.

DECEMBER 2 • Associated Press

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.

NOVEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

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 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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.

SEPTEMBER 11 • BBC.CO.UK

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.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Another assist Chukwueze assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Monza.

Impact Chukwueze logged his second assist of the campaign, both coming within his last two outings. He also racked up three chances created for the first time in 12 appearances and fourth time this season. Chukwueze finished with season with a total of five goal contributions in 26 appearances, an improvement over his four goal contributions in 24 appearances last season.

MAY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Earns bench role Chukwueze (groin) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Monza.

Impact Chukwueze fell to the sidelines last match but is fit for his return, as he is on the bench to face Monza. He has only appeared off the bench in every outing since December and will likely see limited minutes, if any.

MAY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Monza bout Chukwueze (groin) has resumed practicing regularly ahead of Saturday's match against Monza, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Chukwueze is poised to return from a one-game absence, but he has had a spotty and minor role in the last few months, getting minutes off the bench in four of the previous seven tilts. He has scored and assisted once in his past five cameos, adding three shots (one on target), four chances created, four crosses (zero accurate) and four tackles (three won).

MAY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Roma game Chukwueze wasn't spotted in practice Saturday and will miss Sunday's match versus Roma due to groin soreness, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Chukwueze often sees minutes off the bench but has never started in 2025. Joao Felix and Yunus Musah will deputize Christian Pulisic at the position since Riccardo Sottil (hip) is in doubt.

MAY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Assist during extra time Chukwueze assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Friday's 3-1 win over Bologna.

Impact Chukwueze saw a late assist Friday, finding Santiago Gimenez in the 92nd minute for the final goal of the contest. This marks his first goal contribution in some time, with his last coming March 2. He now has three goals and one assist in 25 appearances (nine starts) this season.

MAY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Scores off bench Chukwueze scored off the bench in AC Milan's 2-1 loss to Lazio Sunday. He also had three crosses.

Impact The forward is back after being in and out of the lineup due to injuries, and scoring should give him confidence. He should get more playing time next Saturday against Lecce, a side that has conceded 43 goals in league play.

MARCH 2 • Associated Press

Completes comeback versus Parma Chukwueze (thigh) scored one goal to go with three shots (one on target), one tackle (one won) and three crosses (zero accurate) in 33 minutes in Sunday's 3-2 win against Parma.

Impact Chukwueze played the final portion of the game and bungled it home from close range in a confusing action in the box, deciding the game deep into the stoppage time. It's his second goal in the season. He'll look to stay healthy and will be the top deputy on both wings behind Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic. He has tallied 14 shots (three on target), nine chances created, 17 crosses (two accurate) and five corners in his last five displays.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Parma game Chukwueze (thigh) has returned to full training ahead of Sunday's match versus Parma, Corriere dello Sport relayed.

Impact Chukwueze has shaken off a thigh issue that sidelined him for the last four matches and is poised to be a substitute option, backing up primarily Christian Pulisic on the right wing. He has totaled 11 shots (two on target), nine key passes, 14 crosses (two accurate) and five corners in his last five outings (three starts).

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Will be out for a while Chukwueze has been diagnosed with a biceps femoris strain in his left thigh, Tuttomercatoweb informed.

Impact Chukwueze will be re-assessed in mid-January but might need a month or so to return. Yunus Musah (thigh) and Christian Pulisic (ankle) will be back before him and man the right wing in the next matches.
