Impact En-Nesyri scored twice in the first half, including a penalty kick, and now has 17 goals in the campaign, but it wasn't enough to avoid the road loss. The forward also matched his season-high in shots during the game. He is the sixth-best goalscorer in La Liga play so far.

Impact En-Nesyri doubled his side's lead through a left-footed finish in the 51st minute of the victory. It was his 13th goal in the current campaign and sixth over his last eight club outings. Furthermore, with Isaac sidelined due to a hamstring injury, En-Nesyri will likely be the squad's primary striker in the final stretch of the season.

APRIL 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact En-Nesyri knocked in a header off a cross from Nemanja Gudelj just before the half. The goal marked the second in the last three games and the fourth goal in the last five matches for En-Nesyri. On the other hand, this marked his seventh consecutive game with less than 10 passes completed.

APRIL 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs coveted goal En-Nesyri scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Celta Vigo.

Impact By scoring against Celta Vigo, En-Nesyri logged his 10th goal of the 2023-24 La Liga. So for the first time since the 2020-21 La Liga, he has recorded a double-digit goal tally across a league season. En-Nesyri's goal-scoring form has been high since his return, with half of his 10 goals logged across seven appearances post-January.

MARCH 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Lethal versus Sociedad En-Nesyri scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Real Sociedad.

Impact En-Nesyri scored his second brace in his last five matches on the back of three consecutive games playing the full 90 minutes. Between Lucas Ocampos being suspended and Sevilla having Dodi Lukebakio (knee), Erik Lamela (back) and Mariano (knee) all out injured, much of the attacking burden will be placed at the feet of En-Nesyri for at least the next few matches.

MARCH 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns with brace En-Nesyri scored two goals while taking four shots (all on goal) during Monday's 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano.

Impact En-Nesyri opened the scoring in the 19th minute before scoring the game winner in the 45th while leading Sevilla with four shots in the match. The forward returned from international duty with Morocco in the match, scoring his first goals since November.

FEBRUARY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in training En-Nesyri (not injury related) is back in training with Sevilla and should be an option to face Rayo Vallecano on Monday.

Impact En-Nesyri played with Morocco in the AFCON, but he returned to Sevilla following his side's early exit in the knockout stages. It wouldn't be surprising if he moves to the starting lineup right away when Sevilla takes on Rayo Vallecano, though Rafa Mir is also an option to lead the attacking line.

FEBRUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Called up by Morocco En-Nesyri will join Morocco at the Africa Cup of Nations, Sevilla announced Thursday.

Impact En-Nesyri should be available to face Athletic on Thursday before lining up with the national team but should be expected to miss at least the three matches after that while away with his country. The forward has started nine of his last 10 contests, in which he recorded two goals on 19 shots (seven on target), one assist and four chances created. Without En-Nesyri with the club, Rafa Mir could make his first appearance in the starting XI since Sept. 23 against Osasuna.

DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Records assist Tuesday En-Nesyri assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Granada.

Impact En-Nesyri recorded his first assist of the season Tuesday as he set up Lucas Ocampos' outside the box strike in the 32nd minute. It was the only chance he created in the match and he added two shots (one on target), one interception and one clearance before he was subbed off in the 81st minute for Adnan Januzaj.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles to make impact Saturday En-Nesyri generated three shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-0 loss against Getafe.

Impact En-Nesyri can complicate any defense in the league, but such wasn't the case Saturday, and he was unable to make a major impact in the final meters. The Morocco international has gone three league matches without scoring, and he will aim to snap that drought when facing Granada on Tuesday.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Five shots En-Nesyri attempted five shots (one on target) and created two chances in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Villareal.

Impact En-Nesyri attempted more shots than any other player but was unable to make it three goals in three games (in all competitions). He is Sevillas top scorer in La Liga with five and will fancy his chances against 17th-placed Mallorca on Saturday.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in UCL loss En-Nesyri scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat to PSV Eindhoven.

Impact En-Nesyri scored his side's second goal Wednesday, a strike in the 47th minute assisted by Marcos Acuna which took the 2-0 lead. After recording his two shots, he was subbed off in the 74th minute and PSV came back and won the match late. En-Nesyri has two more league matches before taking on Lens Dec. 12 in the final UCL group stage match with a chance to go to the Europa League.

NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores against Real Sociedad En-Nesyri scored a goal off three shots (one on target), made two tackles (both won) and drew two fouls during Sunday's 2-1 loss against Real Sociedad.

Impact En-Nesyri was a constant threat for the opposing defense, driving center-backs crazy with his runs and aerial presence. The striker headed home a cross from the left to bring his side back into contention just at the hour mark and few minutes later almost drew things level with a powerful one-timer that hit the post. With five goals over 12 league appearances, En-Nesyri will shift his focus to Champions League football as his side hosts PSV on Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores equalizer En-Nesyri came off the bench to score once from two shots (one on target) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo.

Impact En-Nesyri had earlier hit the woodwork when presented with a good opportunity to equalize, before levelling the game with his second attempt. The striker has had to settle for a place on the bench for the last two games with Mariano preferred up front. He will hope that his fourth league goal of the season will be enough to get him back into the starting XI for Sunday's match against Betis.

NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores one in draw En-Nesyri scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Rayo Vallecano.

Impact En-Nesyri jumped out to a quick start, assisting on an early blocked attempt and missing an attempt of his own, both within the first seven minutes. He did not have much to say for most of the rest of the match but came up as the hero for his squad in the end, as he used a header to knock in the tying goal in the sixth minute of extra time, earning his team the draw. The goal marks the third of the season for En-Nesyri, who has a total of nine shots on goal through seven appearances.

OCTOBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores late on Tuesday En-Nesyri scored a goal while taking four shots during Tuesday's 2-2 draw with PSV.

Impact En-Nesyri returned from an ankle injury to start Tuesday, finding the back of the net in the 87th minute while also leading Sevilla with four shots in the match. The goal was the first in the Champions League for En-Nesyri, but he's scored in back-to-back appearances in all competitions.

OCTOBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Eindhoven En-Nesyri (ankle) was named to the starting XI versus PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday.

Impact En-Nesyri is back on the pitch after just one match on the shelf due to his ankle problem. In his last time out, the forward ended a five-match goal drought with a marker against Almerica on Sept. 26. With En-Nesyri fully fit, he should be a mainstay in the starting XI moving forward where he figures to offer decent offensive upside.

OCTOBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Named to traveling squad En-Nesyri (ankle) was included in the traveling squad versus PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday.

Impact En-Nesyri looks sets to return after missing just one match due to his ankel problem. The forward has started five of his seven appearances for the club this season, in which he scored two goals on 15 shots (nine on target), and should be in the mix to reclaim a spot in the starting XI.

OCTOBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Barca En-Nesyri is not in the squad to face Barcelona due to a sprained ankle.

Impact The absence of En-Nesyri is a huge blow for a Sevilla team that's already depleted in the attacking third. Mariano is back in training from a knock and could lead the line, but if not, then Rafa Mir would probably get the nod. The severity of the sprain is yet to be announced, but En-Nesyri's next chance to play will come against PSV Eindhoven on Oct. 3 in the UEFA Champions League group stage.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in win En-Nesyri scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 5-1 win against Almeria.

Impact En-Nesyri notched his second goal of the season in the opening minutes of the contest. He headed the ball after a corner onto the post, where it bounced back to him, and he headed it again into the back of the net. The striker was in the starting lineup after coming off the bench in the previous match, likely due to the schedule with a Champions League match three days prior.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet Wednesday En-Nesyri shot once and made 12 passes during Wednesday's clash with Lens.

Impact En-Nesyri got the start and played 80 minutes but failed to do anything of note Wednesday. He was largely shut down by a cohesive Lens back line and failed to get on the scoresheet. En-Nesyri scored in the domestic opener and hasn't gotten on the scoresheet again.
