Samuel Chukwueze - Page 4 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Suffers hamstring tear Chukwueze is expected to miss several weeks after tearing a muscle in his hamstring, Marca reported Friday.

Impact Chukwueze has started 10 consecutive La Liga matches for Villarreal, tallying five goals and three assists from 31 shots (11 on target) and 18 chances created in that span. He's now expected to miss at least this weekend's clash against Celta Vigo and will possibly remain sidelined for longer while recovering from this hamstring injury. Yeremi Pino could slide over and replace him on the right wing.

Scores twice in huge win Chukwueze scored twice from five shots (three on target) in Saturday's 3-2 victory against Real Madrid.

Impact Chukwueze scored two fine goals, including a long-range, curling winner in the 80th minute. His brace takes him to six goals, the most he has ever managed in a single season. With five goals and three assists in his last seven, the winger is in the form of his career and faces two teams placed in the bottom four in his next three games.

Scores in win Chukwueze scored once from two shots (both on target) and created one chance in Sunday's 3-0 win against Osasuna.

Impact Chukwueze scored the opening goal and had another ruled out by a marginal offside call. He has scored three goals in his last five and is only one short of equaling his career high of five goals in a single season.

MARCH 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Chukwueze has been on a tear of late, totaling two goals and three assists in the last three matches. This ups his assist tally on the season to five, which surpasses his career high. His form since the winter break has been upstanding, generating three goals and four assists since Dec 31. Prior to this, the midfielder only had one assist in the first 13 matches of the campaign.

Villarreal beats Getafe, ends losing run in Spanish league

Samuel Chukwueze has scored and assisted as Villarreal came from behind to defeat relegation-threatened Getafe 2-1 and end a four-game losing streak in the Spanish league

FEBRUARY 27, 2023 • Associated Press

Finds net again Chukwueze scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and two chances created in Monday's 2-1 victory against Getafe.

Impact Chukwueze was the star of the show Monday, scoring and assisting to lift Villarreal past Getafe. He has scored two goals and assisted once on 12 shots (five on target) in the last eight matches. The midfielder only became a full-time starter in October, improving his form since and beginning to contribute to the scoresheet for the team.

FEBRUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in loss Chukwueze scored one goal on one shot and made one interception in Saturday's 4-2 loss at Mallorca.

Impact Chukwueze scored one goal Saturday, as his 50th minute strike assisted by Yeremi Pino briefly tied the game at two apiece. It was the only shot Chukwueze took in the match, and essentially the only thing he did besides intercept one pass in his 67 minutes of action. While he has started 11 of the past 12 matches, he has just two goals and two assists this season, which is not enough to make him more than a dart throw given his current form.

FEBRUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Three shots in loss Chukwueze took three shots (one on target), created on chance and had one inaccurate cross in Monday's 1-0 loss to Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Chukwueze had a solid performance Monday but failed to record a goal contribution. He recorded his second most shots of the season, as well as recording his most passes in a match. Chukwueze won one of three attempted tackles as well, but did not do much defensively outside of that. He will look to get back on track next Monday at Elche who have allowed 39 goals in 19 matches, by far the most in the league.

JANUARY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Assists opening goal Chukwueze had an assist with his lone chance created while crossing once inaccurately during Friday's 1-1 draw with Celta Vigo.

Impact Chukwueze set up Gerard Moreno in the 15th minute assisting the opening goal of the match, but was replaced by Yeremi Pino at halftime. The assist was the second of the season for the attacker as he's started just eight of his 16 appearances.

JANUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opens accounts Chukwueze scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Valencia.

Impact Chukwueze finally got on the score sheet in his 14th appearance (sixth start) of the 2022/23 season. The midfielder has been so close to a goal on multiple occasions from the right wing but just hasn't converted. Chukwueze has started five matches in a row and will hope to carve a consistent starting role out in the second half.

JANUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Provides assist off bench in win Chukwueze made an assist after coming off the bench during Saturday's 3-0 win over Valladolid.

Impact Chukwueze was brought as part of a double substitution in the 63rd minute and 18 minutes later assisted Alex Baena, who entered the pitch alongside him, for the goal that double his side's lead. The forward wasn't a full-time starter last season but, regardless of the role he has for this campaign, he's mostly known for contributions that don't reflect on the stat sheet.

AUGUST 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off bench in season finale Chukwueze subbed into last weekend's match against Barcelona in the 83rd minute and he made a clearance in the 2-0 victory.

Impact Chukwueze didn't start a La Liga game this season until December as he was recovering from a hamstring injury, and then Yeremi Pino or Giovani Lo Celso were often the preferred options on the right wing once he did return. The 23-year-old managed three goals and three assists in 27 league appearances (12 starts), plus two more goals in the Champions League, including the winner over Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals.

MAY 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes three shots in draw Chukwueze had three shots (one on target), created two chances, sent in three inaccurate crosses and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Sevilla.

Impact Chukwueze had a strong first half here, creating a lot from the right flank and even htting the crossbar with a stunning strike from the edge of the box, but then couldn't keep the same level during the second frame, which ultimately led him to be subbed off after 82 minutes. With three goals and three assists over 24 league appearances this season, the forward will hope to remain in the lineup for Thursday's visit to Rayo Vallecano.

MAY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in loss Chukwueze scored a goal off two shots (one on target) and created three chances during Saturday's 2-1 loss against Alaves.

Impact Chukwueze had his fourth start over the last six matches in all competitions and was one of the few positives on the offensive end, scoring his side's lone goal with a big contribution from the keeper and being involved in many other dangerous plays. Gerard Moreno (hamstring) could be back for Tuesday's UCL second leg against Liverpool but Chukwueze would be coach's first option if there is any setback.

MAY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in loss Chukwueze played for 72 minutes of Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Chukwueze has started two of the last three matches after scoring the decisive goal against Bayern Munich but he's failed to put a shot on target in that time. Still, he'll have a softer matchup against Deportivo Alaves, which have conceded the fourth-most goals in La Liga, before Tuesday's second leg against Liverpool.

Villarreal stuns Bayern to reach Champions League semifinals

APRIL 12, 2022 • Associated Press

Scores hero goal Chukwueze scored once on one shot off the bench during Tuesday's 1-1 win over Bayern.

Impact Chukwueze will be a Villarreal hero for life, coming off the bench with six minutes to play, the midfielder found space, and put Villarreal's only shot on goal into the back of the net. The midfielder doesn't have massive upside for fantasy purposes, but this type of goal will surely increase his playing time in La Liga moving forward.

APRIL 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Logs assist against Athletic Chukwueze had one assist, one cross, one interception created two chances and sustained three fouls in the 1-1 draw with Athletic on Saturday.

Impact Thanks to Chukwueze's assist to Alfonso Pedraza in the 60th minute, this match ended in a draw. The midfielder has had limited playing time lately, so it is unclear how much of an impact he'll have in the next match against Bayern Munich.

APRIL 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Chips in at both ends against Juventus Chukwueze sent in two inaccurate crosses, created one scoring chance, had two interceptions and won six duels in Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Juventus.

Impact Chukwueze turned in a decent shift and picked up stats in both phases, but he was not very dangerous when attacking. He has posted one assist, five shots, four chances and three crosses in the last four fixtures. Villarreal will host Espanyol Sunday.

FEBRUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Logs assist off bench Chukwueze logged one assist from one chance created in 28 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 4-1 win over Granada.

Impact Chukwueze has started in four of his last five appearances for the Yellow Submarine, providing two assists in that time. It's a decent run of form that's earned him more minutes, but still isn't consistently enough to pick without examining the matchup. Up next is the UCL first leg against Juventus before Sunday's visit from Espanyol.

FEBRUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes two shots at Betis Chukwueze took two off-target shots, created one chance, sent in one inaccurate cross, made one interception and picked up a yellow card in Sunday's 2-0 win at Betis.

Impact Chukwueze co-led his side in shots during the win, but couldn't find the back of the net before subbing off -- and other than that had a quiet outing. He started in his three last appearances, and will now look to get the nod again when they host Real Madrid on Saturday.

FEBRUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Departs for AFCON Chukwueze has been called up by Nigeria to compete in the upcoming African Cup of Nations and he will miss his club's next three matches at least.

Impact Chukwueze had a rough start to the 2021/22 season, but he is starting to get into a groove now with two goals and an assist in his last six La Liga matches, with his first two starts of the campaign coming in that span as well. But he is now joining up with the Nigerian National Team and will miss about a month. Yeremi Pino will likely return to the right wing in his absence.

JANUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Provides assist in win Chukwueze provided one assist from one chance created and put two shots off target in 73 minutes of Monday's 5-0 win over Levante.

Impact Chukwueze has started each of the last two matches after failing to do so in his first 13 appearances of the season. While his minutes haven't been great, he and Yeremi Pino (one goal, one assist in last two matches) have split the minutes fairly evenly, so it's not hard to find out what his competition is doing. Up next is a visit from Atletico Madrid, which have conceded 22 goals in 19 matches.
