Takes two shots in 1-0 loss Lyanco recorded two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Aston Villa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 13th minute.

Impact Lyanco also hauled in seven aerials won, four interceptions, two tackles (one won) and four clearances and turned in a brilliant stat line. Even if he can sustain that production though with just one clean sheet all season the defender has offered limited production in fantasy in most formats.

Starts and makes four clearances Lyanco registered two shots (one on target), three tackles (zero won), four clearances, one block and a yellow card in Sunday's 1-1 draw to Arsenal.

Impact Lyanco had a good outing to help them hold Arsenal's powerful offense and led his side in clearances during the draw. That was his first start in the season after four appearances off bench. The centerback also received his first yellow card.

Available against Leicester Lyanco (knee) has been training and is available for Saturday's trip to Leicester City, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact Lyanco stayed on the bench last match but appears to be a real option to start Saturday, assuming he's completely fit. As long as he stays healthy, he should get more than the nine starts he had last season, but he'll need to hold onto his health for more than a few weeks. Newcomer Armel Bella-Kotchap started against Leeds and will be Lyanco's main contender for minutes this season in addition to Jan Bednarek.

Dealing with knee issue Lyanco missed last weekend's opener and hasn't been training because of a knee issue ahead of Saturday's match against Leeds, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact Lyanco has a chance to be a starting center-back for Leeds, but minor issues keep popping up for him. He made 15 appearances last season and it seems like he'll have to wait for his first appearance of the current campaign until he can get some training minutes under his belt.

Fills stat sheet Lyanco made five tackles, winning all five, as well as two clearances during Sunday's 4-1 loss to Leicester City.

Impact Lyanco had plenty to do behind the ball as Leicester dominated the match and sent wave after wave of attacks forward. The defender made 15 appearances and nine starts in 2021/22, making him a minimal fantasy option in his first season with Southampton. The defender will hope to be a more consistent part of the starting XI if he can avoid injury troubles moving forward.

Makes eight clearances in win Lyanco made eight clearances, two interceptions and won one of one tackles in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Arsenal.

Impact Lyanco made his first appearance since January after recovering from a hamstring injury on Saturday, and he defended valiantly to keep a clean sheet against Arsenal. On Thursday he will face Burnley, which have scored just 25 goals in 30 matches this season.

Starting against Arsenal Lyanco (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Arsenal.

Impact Lyanco returns to the XI in his first match back Saturday in what is a new formation for Southampton after allowing six goals last match. They're rolling with three central center-backs with Lyanco being one of them, something that could reduce his defensive stats in more of defensive look.

APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available against Arsenal Lyanco (hamstring) has trained all week and is available for Saturday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact Lyanco had a chance to return last weekend, but he used the extra week to get back his fitness and now he has a real chance to start after Southampton fell apart against Chelsea. That said, the center-back hasn't appeared since January because of this hamstring injury.

APRIL 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Could be option Saturday Lyanco (hamstring) is back in training and could be an option Saturday against Chelsea, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact It's hard to see Lyanco getting on the pitch Saturday, as he's almost a month ahead of schedule from a hamstring injury. It's never a good idea to return too soon from those injuries and given that the Saints are fine at center-back, he shouldn't be pushed to start in the next couple weeks.

Back working outside Lyanco was pictured working outside in his recovery from a hamstring injury.

Impact It's been two months since Lyanco's injury and it'll likely be another week or two before he's an option again. He needs to get back his fitness in addition to returning to full health. No matter, Southampton have used the duo of Mohammed Salisu and Jan Bednarek in his absence and it wouldn't be surprising if Lyanco struggled for minutes even when available again.

Out multiple months Lyanco (hamstring) is set to miss eight-to-12 weeks with a hamstring injury, manager Ralph Hasenhuttl confirmed.

Impact Lyanco picked up the injury during the first half of Saturday's FA Cup match, and was seen on crutches before the match had even finished. The center-back was working his way into the team of late and his absence could mean that Hasenhuttl decides against using three-man back lines in the future. On the positive, they still have three quality center-backs to use in Mohammed Salisu, Jan Bednarek and Jack Stephens.

Injured in FA Cup Lyanco was forced off in the first half of Saturday's FA Cup match with a potentially serious injury, reports Tom Leach of Hampshire Live.

Impact Lyanco was getting the start in the Cup match and then was seen with crutches later in the game. It's tough to get injured in non-league play and this one could result in a multi-week absence. Fortunately for Southampton, they are fairly deep in the back.

FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Stays on bench in return Lyanco (COVID-19) stayed on the bench in Saturday's FA Cup win against Swansea.

Impact Lyanco is back from COVID-19, but he was relegated to the bench with Jack Stephens the preferred option. While he's seen some playing time the last couple months, the return of Stephens to the lineup may not be good for Lyanco's pitch time in the second half of the season.

JANUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to training Lyanco (COVID-19) returned to training a week before the Jan. 11 match against Brentford.

Impact Lyanco should again be an option when Southampton are back on the pitch after missing the last two matches. Prior to testing positive for COVID-19, he'd appeared in eight-straight matches, starting three of the last five, so he figures to find time going forward, as well.

JANUARY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tests positive for COVID-19 Lyanco tested positive for COVID-19 and will likely miss the team's next two matches.

Impact Lyanco was getting more time, having started three of the last five matches, but COVID-19 halts that momentum. Unless he tested positive more than a week ago, he'll likely miss Southampton's two matches to close out the year.

DECEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Makes first start for Saints Lyanco made four tackles (won two), six clearances and one block during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Lyanco had been a sub in the previous four matches but came into Saturday's match in the starting XI at center-back. He performed well by leading Southampton in tackles and clearances despite the heavy loss to the league leaders in goals scored. His next chance to start will come against Leicester City on Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Transfers to Southampton Lyanco joined Southampton on a four-year contract after transferring from Torino on Wednesday.

Impact Lyanco could be considered a curious pickup by Saints after only playing in 23 league games last season (21 starts), but the departure of Jannik Vestergaard emphasized the need for a steady hand who could take his place. The addition of Lyanco will also make his new club hold one of the younger defensive rotations in the Premier League of which many of the pieces have been brought in this summer. Making everything mesh and getting good fantasy production will be two tasks to juggle for Lyanco this season.
