Maxwel Cornet - Page 3 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Takes two shots in loss Cornet took two shots and won two of two tackles in Tuesday's 2-0 defeat against Leicester City. He also made a clearance in the match.

Impact Cornet was back in the lineup Tuesday after missing two games with a foot injury, but he couldn't provide a breakthrough against Leicester and his side suffered a defeat. Next up Saturday is a clash against third-placed Chelsea, which have conceded just 18 goals in 25 Premier League matches this season.

Unused sub against Crystal Palace Cornet was an unused substitute during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Cornet had missed the match prior due to a foot injury but came back into the match day squad Saturday. Given his availability against Crystal Palace, it wouldn't be surprising to see him gain starting minutes Tuesday against Leicester City.

On bench Saturday Cornet (foot) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Cornet is healthy enough for the bench Saturday, which is a positive sign for his health moving forward. Burnley are using their same XI from the win against Tottenham, but this time Cornet will be able to provide a spark off the bench if needed.

FEBRUARY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Touch and go for weekend Cornet (foot) is considered "touch and go" for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Whenever Dyche says "touch and go," it usually means out for Burnley players. It doesn't help that it's a short week for Cornet, so it looks like he'll be out another match Saturday with Aaron Lennon and Jay Rodriguez most likely to benefit in the starting XI.

Leads Burnley with five crosses Cornet took one shot (on goal), crossed five times (one accurate) and created a chance during Sunday's 1-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Cornet was held off the scoresheet but wasn't alone as Burnley were shut out on Sunday. The attacker took just one shot and created only one chance but his five crosses led Burnley in the loss.

Forced off with cramping in loss Cornet had no shots and two inaccurate crosses before being forced off in the 69th minute of Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Manchester United with suspected cramps.

Impact This doesn't seem like a major issue, but it's been a lot of minutes for Cornet following his return from AFCON. He didn't play a ton at AFCON, so these minutes with Burnley are piling up following a month out with injury. For now, it's expected he'll be ready to start Sunday against Liverpool, but a full 90 seems doubtful.

Fires four shots Cornet took four shots (two on goal), crossed twice inaccurately and created a chance during Saturday's 0-0 draw with Watford.

Impact Cornet was held off the scoresheet but wasn't alone as both team's struggled to score on Saturday. The attacker finished with the third highest amount of crosses on the team while leading Burnley in shots and chances created in the draw.

Back with Burnley Cornet is back from AFCON and is available for Burnley going forward after receiving a few days of rest upon return, according to manager Sean Dyche. "He's [Maxwel] another one we...

Impact Cornet played just 15 minutes for Ivory Coast in AFCON, so Burnley seem to be treading lightly with him given injuries earlier in the season. That being the case, it wouldn't be surprising if he started Saturday, though with another game against Man United a few days later, he'll probably only start one of them.

Burnley's fragility threatens 6-year EPL status

Burnley has punched above its weight for years in the English Premier League

JANUARY 13, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Heads out for AFCON Cornet will join Ivory Coast for the upcoming African Cup of Nations and miss the team's next two matches, at a minimum.

Impact Cornet has arguably been Burnley's best player this season despite appearing in 11 matches and making just nine starts. He's given Burnley a spark with six goals from 17 shots and five chances created, and will undoubtedly be missed while away.

Impactful as substitute Cornet scored a goal while taking four shots (one on goal) and crossing once inaccurately during Sunday's 3-1 loss to Leeds.

Impact Cornet entered the match at halftime and scored Burnley's lone goal in the 54th minute. The goal was the sixth of the season for the attacker while his four shots led Burnley in the loss.

Makes bench Sunday Cornet is in the match day squad to face Leeds on Sunday.

Impact Cornet returns after missing Burnley's previous two matches with a thigh injury and COVID-19. The attacker starts from the bench but is available if called upon Sunday.

Still out Thursday Cornet (thigh) is not in the team for Thursday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Cornet was considered a late test two weeks ago, but it looks like he's still not ready to return to the side Thursday. He had a thigh injury and then COVID-19, so it's unknown when he'll be ready to return or when he'll be fit enough to start again.

Late test for Boxing Day Cornet (thigh) is a "maybe" for the Boxing Day match against Everton, confirmed manager Sean Dyche. "Maxwel is on the grass, he's a maybe but he's had a muscle injury and Covid in...

Impact It looks like Cornet contracted COVID-19 in the past couple weeks which is why he's not fit. He was a late-fitness test two weeks ago, so he's probably back from injury but a lack of training means he's maybe not fit enough to start, possibly meaning another start for Matej Vydra up front.

DECEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Remains touch and go Cornet (thigh) will be touch and go for Saturday's trip to Aston Villa, confirmed manager Sean Dyche.

Impact While Cornet had the same status for the midweek match that didn't happen, he's dealing with a muscle injury and nothing is guaranteed. If he can get another day of full training in, he could be in play to start, but even if that's the case, it's hard to see him going a full 90 against Villa.

Facing late-fitness test Cornet (thigh) will be a game-time decision against Watford on Wednesday after manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "It's touch and go with Maxwel, we will have to wait on that one a...

Impact If Cornet can't go Wednesday, it sounds like he should be a near-lock to rejoin the squad versus Aston Villa on Saturday. The manager could ease him back into action with a substitute appearance versus Watford. Whenever the forward does get back into the starting XI, he figures to offer top-half fantasy value considering he has recorded four goals on eight shots (six on target), nine crosses (three accurate) and five corners in his previous six contests.

DECEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful versus West Ham Cornet (thigh) is a long shot to play against West Ham United on Sunday. Manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "We are waiting to see on Maxwel - outside chance I would say."

Impact Cornet has made seven straight starts for the club prior to picking up an injury versus Newcastle United on Saturday. In those appearances, the forward racked up four goals on 10 shots (seven on target), 10 crosses (three accurate) and six corners. If Cornet misses out Sunday, it could be an opportunity for Matej Vydra or Jay Rodriguez to crack the starting XI.

DECEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Forced off early Saturday Cornet picked up a possible thigh injury and was subbed off in the 32nd minute of Saturday's match against Newcastle.

Impact It's yet another knock for Cornet, who has already been forced off a couple other times this season due to injury. He can't seem to stay healthy and the hope is that this is only a minor issue with a heavy schedule ahead. He was getting his seventh-straight start in the attack Saturday and Matej Vydra replaced him up front.
