Jorge Cuenca - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Returning Thursday Cuenca (undisclosed) is on the bench for Thursday's game against Brighton.

Impact Cuenca is set to return following a four-game absence and will add some much-needed depth on the bench. That said, his fantasy upside isn't very high, as he's been limited to just one league appearance in 2024/25.

Impact Cuenca could be making his return to the team sheet Thursday, although that still isn't confirmed, as he wasn't mentioned in the pre-match press conference. This would be solid news, with the defender missing their past four games. Even if he is fit, he will probably only see a bench spot, as he has only appeared for one minute as a substitute in four appearances on the team sheet this campaign.

Out again Cuenca is out for Sunday's match against Tottenham due to injury, according to manager Marco Silva. "Jorge is out. Joachim will be out for some games, Jorge sis be back sooner."

Impact Cuenca is still missing from the team sheet, as he will now miss the club's past four games and continue a terrible streak of injuries, only having appeared once all season while missing nine games due to his issues. Luckily for the club, he is a backup option and isn't expected to play a large role at the club this campaign. He will look to return in a week or two, although he is likely to continue in a bench role.

Impact Cuenca was handed his fifth yellow card of the season versus Real Sociedad on Friday despite logging just 20 minutes off the bench.

Impact Cuenca made his return to the starting XI after missing two league matches and being benched on the following two due to an injury and had a very productive performance not only with defensive numbers but also being an aerial threat on the attacking end. The center-back, who had a very strong start of campaign, will hope this performance helps him to remain in the lineup for the upcoming games and recover his pre-injury form.

Impact Cuenca will be sidelined for his third consecutive contest due to his ankle problem but at least has a clearer timeline to return to the squad versus Getafe on Saturday.

For now, Raul Albiol and Matteo Gabbia figure to make out the central defensive pair most game weeks.

Impact Cuenca will be making just his sixth appearance for the club this season, having been a healthy scratch in 14 of the team's 18 matches. While Cuence will be making consecutive starts for the first time this season, his spot in the starting XI should probably be considered tenuous at best moving forward.

Suffers nasal fracture Cuenca had to get surgery after suffering a nasal fracture in Sunday's win against Girona, his second start of the season.

Impact Cuenca was getting his second start of the season Sunday due to other injuries in the side and now he could miss a match or two. He'll have to play with a mask upon return and while there's a slight chance he could return for the next league match Jan. 30, that seems like a stretch, as it'll be hard to avoid his face getting touched as a defender.
