Impact Enciso returned to action after a three-game spell on the sidelines due to a knee injury and looked active in the final third, but he couldn't change the game for Ipswich Town.

Impact Enciso could be returning following his absence due to a knee injury, as the attacker is nearing a return and could be involved to face Palace. He has missed the club's last three matches, so this would be a solid addition for the club. He has only started in five of his 16 appearances this season and will probably only see a bench spot if fit.

Impact Enciso has only been out a couple weeks with the knee injury and it sounds like he should be ready to train in the coming weeks. Initially feared as a serious injury, there's a chance he ready to return in March. Unfortunately for him, there would be a lot of minutes available right now with Omari Hutchinson dealing with a knee injury of his own.

Scans negative Enciso (knee) avoided significant damage to his knee, according to manager Kieran McKenna."Thankfully there was no new significant damage. "

Impact Enciso avoided any sort of significant damage to his knee, though he's still likely set for weeks on the sideline to recover. As with all knee injuries the concern was a long-term issue. It's unclear if Enciso has a chance to return before the March international break.

Impact Enciso started the last two Premier League games, growing his influence as a starter in the frontline but was forced off in the 17th minute of Saturday's game due to a knee injury. He will be assessed in the coming days, and if the injury is serious, Jack Clarke is expected to see a larger role in the upcoming fixtures.

First start for Ipswich Enciso generated six shots (two on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Southampton.

Impact Enciso made his second appearance (first start) Saturday since he was loaned to Ipswich Town from Brighton & Hove Albion. The attacker followed up an assist in his debut appearance by leading the team with six shots (two on goal) Saturday over his 89 minutes of play. With Samuel Szmodics (ankle) set to miss at least a few weeks, look for Enciso to be plugged into a playmaker role for the Tractor Boys.

Impact Enciso set up Ipswich's only goal in the second half of Saturday's loss. The goal contribution with his new club is certainly nice and it was a good example of his talent on the ball and his ability creatively. It's going to be hard for Enciso to consistently produce for an Ipswich side that struggles to earn much time on the ball against top opponents.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Ipswich Town on loan Enciso has joined Ipswich Town on loan from Brighton until the end of the season, the club announced.

Impact Enciso has made 12 Premier League appearances this season, contributing 20 shots, 20 crosses, and 12 corners. He is likely to earn a starting role soon and could play a key part in set pieces with his foot. He may feature in Town's Premier League match away at Liverpool on Saturday.

Handed first start Enciso had eight shots (three on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Friday's 0-0 draw against Brentford.

Impact Enciso was named to the Brighton & Hove Albion staring XI Friday for the first time this season as the Seagulls drew 0-0 with Brentford. The young attacker took his opportunity, leading the team with eight shots (three on goal) and attempting three crosses (zero accurate) over his 78 minutes of play. Enciso has yet to manage a goal contribution in the league this season over his 10 appearances (one start).

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to bench role Enciso has logged five appearances off the bench for Brighton so far this season.

Impact The talented playmaker hasn't had much of a chance to make an impact in the final third for the Seagulls, as he's logged 20 minutes or fewer in four of those outings and has been limited to just four shots (two on target) and three chances created in that span. Brighton have plenty of options in the final third, so Enciso's role is not expected to change any time soon if the rest of the starters remain relatively healthy.

OCTOBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet after return from injury Enciso recorded two assists in 12 appearances (five starts) this past season.

Impact Enciso appeared in the first two matches of the season but suffered a serious knee injury during training after the second match which forced him out for about six months. It was a brutal time to suffer the injury coming off a two-assist performance versus Wolves. He appeared in 13 matches (in all competitions) after returning from the injury and failed to record a goal contribution. The 20-year-old has shown flashes of brilliance in his young career, so he has a chance to play an important role for Brighton next season if he can remain healthy.

MAY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Active off bench on Sunday Enciso had three off-target shots and created two chances after coming off the bench during Sunday's 1-0 win over Aston Villa.

Impact Enciso was brought to replace Facundo Buonanotte just after the hour mark and was way more productive than his peer, being involved in many dangerous plays with his side in search of a goal to break the deadlock. With just four starts since recovering from the serious knee injured he suffered during the start of the campaign, Enciso will hope to make the initial lineup again before the end of the campaign.

MAY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Earns bench spot Enciso (undisclosed) is on the bench for Thursday's match against Manchester City.

Impact Enciso appears to have passed his fitness test, as he earned a spot on the bench Thursday after missing the club's last match due to an undisclosed issue. The attacker will now hope to find the starting XI in his next appearance, as he has started in five of his nine appearances this season, only not seeing more time due to a 29-game absence that took place due to injury at the start of the season.

Set for late fitness test Enciso (undisclosed) appears to be a game-time call for Thursday's match against Manchester City due to a late fitness test, as manager Roberto De Zerbi stated, "We will see about...

Impact Enciso looks to possibly be set for a return Thursday, although it appears this will depend on a fitness test, as his status will be decided ahead of the match. This could be a huge boost to the squad, as they have been without the attacker much of the season due to injuries despite him getting regular minutes when fit. With that being said, he hopes to earn the start Thursday if he passes his fitness test, although the club may choose to leave him on the bench to be cautious, with Joao Pedro starting in his place again.

Picks up injury Enciso is out for Saturday's trip to Burnley, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "Julio Enciso can't play tomorrow. I don't know if it's a tough injury, but he's not available....

Impact Enciso is yet another addition to the absurdly long list of Brighton injuries. The winger missing time just compiles the issues Brighton already have, and taxes the already thin squad. There was no update on how long this injury should sideline Enciso, but he's a doubt for an April 20 clash with Chelsea at the very least.

APRIL 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Takes four shots in loss Enciso generated four shots (two on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Arsenal.

APRIL 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

26 minutes in draw Enciso registered two shots (one on target) and one chance created in Wednesday's 0-0 draw against Brentford.

Impact Enciso found his way back onto the team sheet Wednesday after missing the club's previous match due to a strain, earning 26 minutes off of the bench. The attacker will now hope the injury bug is behind him for the rest of the season, as he has only featured eight times all campaign. However, he has been decent when on the field, notching four chances created, five crosses and 13 shots to go along with two assists in his 270 minutes of play.

APRIL 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

On bench against Bees Enciso (strain) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Brentford.

Impact Enciso makes his return to the team sheet as expected Wednesday, but serving on the bench, with the club appearing to take his return cautiously. He should still get some minutes to test his legs and will hope to find the starting XI in the club's next contest, as he has started in four of the seven matches he has been an option for this season.
