ImpactOnyeka was returning from a knock he suffered at the end of the 2023/24 campaign but had to come off early due to a blow to the face. The midfielder played about 40 minutes and seemed to have overcome his knock before suffering the new injury. Unless it's more serious than originally thought, Onyeka should be ready for the start of the Premier League season.
