Impact Nianzou will not make the trip to Athletic Club Thursday as he is nursing an undisclosed injury.

Starting against La Real Nianzou (quadriceps) made the starting lineup for Wednesday's match against Real Sociedad.

Impact Nianzou missed five straight games with a quad injury but is back just before the World Cup break. Over the rest of 2022, Nianzou's return and the hopeful presence of Marcao will give their team a vastly-improved defense, though for now his partner will be Karim Rekik.

Still sidelined for UCL clash Nianzou (quadriceps) will not be available versus Copenhagen on Tuesday.

Impact Despite previous reports to the contrary, Nianzou was not included in the squad list for Tuesday's contest. It will be the defender's second straight match on the shelf and with the busy schedule, could see him miss multiple matches ahead of the World Cup break. Without Nianzou on the pitch, the club will utilize Marcao and Nemanja Gudelj in central defense versus Copenhagen.

OCTOBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available for selection Nianzou (quad) made the squad list for Tuesday's match against Copenhagen.

Impact Nianzou returns after missing one game due to a quad injury, which evidently wasn't a serious issue to worry about if he's already back. Should he be picked to start, Nemanja Gudelj should move back into the midfield while Nianzou partners with Marcao in defense.

OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers torn quad Nianzou suffered a muscular tear in his right quad during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Valencia, his club announced Thursday.

Impact Nianzou is expected to miss between three and four weeks with what appears to be a grade II muscular tear. While he's out, Nemanja Gudelj might be the best option to pair with Marcao at the center of defense but Kike Salas and Jose Angel Carmona could be more likely to play in that spot if the team does better with Gudelj in midfield.

Impact Nianzou helped his team to an early advantage but also saw Jude Bellingham's goal deflect off his leg for the equalizer. Aside from the goals, Nianzou now has made four tackles (three won), logged three interceptions and conceded just two goals in the two games since Jorge Sampaoli became manager.

OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Plays full 90 in debut Nianzou put two shots off target and won one tackle during Friday's 1-1 draw with Valladolid.

Impact Nianzou made the lineup as soon as he was able after a disappointing opener against Osasuna demanded some changes. While Nianzou himself is lucky not to have conceded any bookings due to harsh challenges, the defense is likely to improve as he and Marcao get more comfortable playing together, the attack hasn't shown great potential and needs to make progress as well.

Able to play Nianzou was called up to the squad list ahead of Friday's match against Valladolid.

AUGUST 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Transfers to Sevilla Nianzou transferred to Sevilla from Bayern Munich on Wednesday. He's signed a five-year contract with his new club.

Impact Nianzou fits the perfect profile for center-backs at his new club, which has become famous for smart transfer dealings and an overachieving team built on solid defense. When he settles in Nianzou will likely take a starting spot to partner with Marcao, himself a summer arrival from Galatasaray. While there could be some early hesitation as Nianzou gets his first real shot at a starting job in addition to Marcao coming off an ankle injury, the two could result in a reliable and productive partnership. Upon Nianzou's arrival, Karim Rekik will get bumped down the depth chart and Nemanja Gudelj will be able to support Fernando at holding-midfield.

Scores in rare start Nianzou scored once on one shot during Saturday's 4-0 win over Union Berlin.

Impact Nianzou scored once during Saturday's win as he made a spot start with Niklas Sule ruled out.
