Wout Weghorst - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Returns to action in league game Weghorst (ankle) played 15 minutes in Saturday's Eredivisie win over Volendam.

Impact Weghorst is back ahead of the final UCL league phase matchup versus Olympiacos, giving his team a significant offensive boost. The forward has scored six goals and one assist across 15 league appearances this season, plus another goal over four Champions League starts. His comeback could mean less playing time for Kasper Dolberg in the future.

Not traveling to Villarreal Weghorst (ankle) didn't make the trip to Spain for Tuesday's UCL meeting with Villarreal, his team announced.

Impact Weghorst will be unable to lead the front line for the second straight Champions League game after failing to recover from his ligament issue. Therefore, Kasper Dolberg should get another chance to produce against Villarreal. It's unclear when Weghorst will return to contention, but he could have only one opportunity left to increase his season counts of three shots and one goal in four UCL matches.

The ligaments of his right ankle are damaged which could take some time to treat for the striker.

Out with knock Weghorst (knock) is out for Tuesday's trip to Marseille, according to manager John Heitinga.

Impact Weghorst isn't an option for Tuesday's clash after picking up a knock. It's a disappointing injury with Kasper Dolberg (abdomen) ruled out for Tuesday.

The raw numbers remain far from spectacular for fantasy purposes but Weghorst is getting more and more productive as he now looks completely settled at Hoffenheim.

The striker played 62 minutes in the match and failed to convert from the penalty spot in the 28th minute.
