Vladimir Coufal - Page 4 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Busy during break Coufal (heel) started both international matches with Czech Republic, going the full 90 during Monday's goalless draw.

Impact Coufal was a major part of the team throughout each of the international matches. The wing-back appeared to have recovered from the heel issues that had been plaguing him, and should be fully fit and available for an April 2 clash with Southampton.

Hopeful to return soon Coufal (heel) is hopeful to return to the starting XI soon, he recently told WHUFC.com.

Impact Coufal is dealing with a bit of plantar fasciitis, which can either last three-plus months or a couple weeks. This one seems will keep him out through the international break and at that point, it will be about a month of matches that he'd have missed. The hope is that he can return in April, but nothing is guaranteed with this injury and a combination of Ben Johnson and Thilo Kehrer are expected to keep starting at right-back.

Out Sunday Coufal (heel) will not make the trip to Aston Villa on Sunday, according to manager David Moyes. "Vladimir Coufal has a plantar fascia issue in his heel and time will help it, but...

Impact Coufal has developed further issues in his heel and will miss his second match in a row. The timeline of his recovery is still not determined, but Ben Johnson will probably start as right back until Coufal is fully healed

Status uncertain for Saturday Coufal (heel) is facing a fitness test in order to be available for the clash against Brighton this weekend.

Impact Coufal was forced out at halftime of last weekend's win over Nottingham Forest with a heel injury and then had to miss Wednesday's FA Cup loss to Manchester United. It is unclear whether he will be available against Brighton on Saturday, but Ben Johnson could continue in his place at right-back if necessary.

Out with heel injury Coufal will miss Wednesday's FA Cup match with a heel injury, according to manager David Moyes.

Impact This isn't good news for Coufal, who was forced off at halftime of the match over the weekend. It wouldn't be surprising if this forced him to miss time, though the extent of the injury hasn't been revealed. This injury could mean a return to the starting XI for Aaron Cresswell with Ben Johnson playing at right-back.

Five tackles in draw Coufal generated five tackles (three won), four crosses (zero accurate), three interceptions and three clearances in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Newcastle United.

Impact Coufal had a season high of tackles as he was all over the stat sheet for West Ham on Saturday. This brings his average tackles a game to two while also averaging 4.6 crosses a contest. The 30-year-old has totaled 28 crosses (six accurate), 16 tackles (nine won), nine interceptions and 18 clearances in the last six matches.

Creates two chances Coufal generated two shots (one on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Wolverhampton.

Impact As the Hammers' starting right-back, Coufal created 13 chances across that many games he has played since August. The defender is expected to rejuvenate his form during 2023. Otherwise, Coufal should receive little consideration from fantasy managers and will be relegated alongside the struggling Hammers.

Starting against Wolves Coufal is fit and in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Wolverhampton.

Impact Coufal is good to go after dealing with a knee injury suffered in West Ham's previous league match. The fullback takes up a role in the West Ham back four looking for his first clean sheet or goal involvement in 13 appearances.

JANUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Status uncertain Saturday Coufal (knee) will be a doubt against Wolverhampton on Saturday. Manager David Moyes told reporters, "Vladimir Coufal, we're going to have to have a look at because he took a clatt...

Impact Coufal was unable to compete in the club's FA Cup contest due to his knee problem. In his last three outings (all starts), the right-back recorded 18 crosses (three accurate), nine tackles (five won) and eight clearances. If he is cleared to play, Coufal should push the attack from the backline where he will offer solid fantasy value.

JANUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for FA Cup tie Coufal (knee) will have to be assessed for his availability to play in Saturday's FA Cup clash against Brentford, West Ham manager David Moyes said Friday.

Impact Coufal had to sub out of Wednesday's draw with Leeds United following a heavy tackle by Crysencio Summerville on his knee. Moyes said "We will need to check him out," but even if he is forced to miss the FA Cup match at the weekend, he doesn't seem expected to miss much time beyond that.

JANUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off with bloodied knee Coufal came off with a bloody knee during the second half of Wednesday's clash with Leeds.

Impact Coufal was caught by a nasty tackle and came off limping with a bleeding knee. The defender was replaced by Aaron Cresswell, who was being rotated Wednesday during a busy portion of the schedule. Coufal's next chance for Premier League action is a Jan. 14 trip to Wolves.

Departs after collision Coufal was replaced by Ben Johnson after 70 minutes of Sunday's 2-0 loss to Brighton following a collision.

Impact Coufal needed help from the training staff to get off the pitch and likely suffered a concussion. With Johnson taking his place, if Coufal remains out for any matches there will be further depth issues as there isn't a backup right-back in the side even if Johnson is capable of playing in that spot.

AUGUST 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Creates one chance in loss Coufal created one chance from three crosses (one accurate), won one-of-four tackles and completed three interceptions during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Coufal is coming off a down season by his initial standards but still performed decently even against a tough opponent. As he and his teammates figure things out against easier opposition, Coufal has the ability to offer decent fantasy value.

AUGUST 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sends in nine crosses in loss Coufal created two chances, sent in nine crosses (one accurate) and made two tackles (both won), one clearance and one block during Sunday's 3-1 loss against Brighton.

Impact Coufal was one of West Ham's few positives here, finding room to support the offense and making a lot of plays, especially during the first half. The right back had his campaign slowed down by a pair of injuries but still had a strong performance, with four assists, 21 chances created, 107 crosses, 45 tackles and 57 clearances over 28 league appearances (25 starts).

MAY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores own goal Coufal scored an own goal during Sundays two-all draw with Manchester City.

Impact Coufal scored an own goal and did little else during Sunday's draw. The defender had one of his absolute worst games of the season, only competing two passes in 90 minutes on the pitch. Coufal will hope to end the season on a brighter note, away against Brighton on Sunday.

MAY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Assists Sunday Coufal provided one assist on one chance created during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Arsenal.

Impact Coufal provided a single assist during Sunday's loss, creating one chance on six crosses. The right-back has been dealing with a groin injury and has been rotating in and out of the squad while West Ham make a deep Europa League run. Coufal will likely be in the starting XI against Norwich next time out.

MAY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes full 90 in loss Coufal had three crosses (one accurate), one chance created and three tackles (two won) in Sunday's 2-0 loss against Brentford.

Impact Coufal received his first start Sunday since February because of a groin injury. After the match, he also revealed it was maybe the first time all season that he's felt completely fit because of the groin issue, something that could see him return to last season's levels the rest of the way when he totaled seven assists.

APRIL 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Struggling with fitness Coufal (groin) stayed on the bench over the weekend and manager David Moyes isn't convinced the defender is 100 percent just yet. "So he might just need a bit more time."

Impact Coufal likely pushed to be in the squad after the international break, but it doesn't look like he's ready to feature just yet. This will have to be monitored in the next week, especially with other injuries at right-back for West Ham. For now, it doesn't seem like Coufal will be ready to start Sunday at Brentford.

APRIL 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes bench Sunday Coufal is fit and in the match day squad to face Everton on Sunday.

Impact Coufal returns after dealing with a groin injury that forced him to get surgery in late February. The fullback starts from the bench but is available if called upon Sunday.

APRIL 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Might return Sunday Coufal (groin) could be available versus Everton on Sunday. Manager David Moyes told reporters, "There's a chance that both of them could make it this weekend. They've both done a...

Impact Considering Coufal underwent surgery back in late February, his return to this pitch after just one month on the sidelines would certainly be an impressive feat. Given his seven-game layoff, the right-back is unlikely to immediately slot back into the starting XI and could make a substitute appearance or two first.

Undergoes groin surgery Coufal underwent successful groin surgery Thursday and will miss an extended period of time.

Impact It's now known why Coufal missed out last weekend and he'll unfortunately miss the next month following surgery. Groin surgery doesn't have a terribly long recovery period, but it'll be weeks before he's ready to compete again. In his place, Ben Johnson and Ryan Fredericks are expected to fight for starts at right-back.
