Impact Chukwueze has started 10 consecutive La Liga matches for Villarreal, tallying five goals and three assists from 31 shots (11 on target) and 18 chances created in that span. He's now expected to miss at least this weekend's clash against Celta Vigo and will possibly remain sidelined for longer while recovering from this hamstring injury. Yeremi Pino could slide over and replace him on the right wing.

Villarreal beats Getafe, ends losing run in Spanish league

Samuel Chukwueze has scored and assisted as Villarreal came from behind to defeat relegation-threatened Getafe 2-1 and end a four-game losing streak in the Spanish league

Finds net again Chukwueze scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and two chances created in Monday's 2-1 victory against Getafe.

Impact Chukwueze was the star of the show Monday, scoring and assisting to lift Villarreal past Getafe. He has scored two goals and assisted once on 12 shots (five on target) in the last eight matches. The midfielder only became a full-time starter in October, improving his form since and beginning to contribute to the scoresheet for the team.

FEBRUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in loss Chukwueze scored one goal on one shot and made one interception in Saturday's 4-2 loss at Mallorca.

Impact Chukwueze scored one goal Saturday, as his 50th minute strike assisted by Yeremi Pino briefly tied the game at two apiece. It was the only shot Chukwueze took in the match, and essentially the only thing he did besides intercept one pass in his 67 minutes of action. While he has started 11 of the past 12 matches, he has just two goals and two assists this season, which is not enough to make him more than a dart throw given his current form.

FEBRUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Three shots in loss Chukwueze took three shots (one on target), created on chance and had one inaccurate cross in Monday's 1-0 loss to Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Chukwueze had a solid performance Monday but failed to record a goal contribution. He recorded his second most shots of the season, as well as recording his most passes in a match. Chukwueze won one of three attempted tackles as well, but did not do much defensively outside of that. He will look to get back on track next Monday at Elche who have allowed 39 goals in 19 matches, by far the most in the league.

Assists opening goal Chukwueze had an assist with his lone chance created while crossing once inaccurately during Friday's 1-1 draw with Celta Vigo.

Impact Chukwueze set up Gerard Moreno in the 15th minute assisting the opening goal of the match, but was replaced by Yeremi Pino at halftime. The assist was the second of the season for the attacker as he's started just eight of his 16 appearances.

JANUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opens accounts Chukwueze scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Valencia.

Impact Chukwueze finally got on the score sheet in his 14th appearance (sixth start) of the 2022/23 season. The midfielder has been so close to a goal on multiple occasions from the right wing but just hasn't converted. Chukwueze has started five matches in a row and will hope to carve a consistent starting role out in the second half.

JANUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Provides assist off bench in win Chukwueze made an assist after coming off the bench during Saturday's 3-0 win over Valladolid.

Impact Chukwueze was brought as part of a double substitution in the 63rd minute and 18 minutes later assisted Alex Baena, who entered the pitch alongside him, for the goal that double his side's lead. The forward wasn't a full-time starter last season but, regardless of the role he has for this campaign, he's mostly known for contributions that don't reflect on the stat sheet.

AUGUST 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off bench in season finale Chukwueze subbed into last weekend's match against Barcelona in the 83rd minute and he made a clearance in the 2-0 victory.

Impact Chukwueze didn't start a La Liga game this season until December as he was recovering from a hamstring injury, and then Yeremi Pino or Giovani Lo Celso were often the preferred options on the right wing once he did return. The 23-year-old managed three goals and three assists in 27 league appearances (12 starts), plus two more goals in the Champions League, including the winner over Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals.

MAY 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes three shots in draw Chukwueze had three shots (one on target), created two chances, sent in three inaccurate crosses and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Sevilla.

Impact Chukwueze had a strong first half here, creating a lot from the right flank and even htting the crossbar with a stunning strike from the edge of the box, but then couldn't keep the same level during the second frame, which ultimately led him to be subbed off after 82 minutes. With three goals and three assists over 24 league appearances this season, the forward will hope to remain in the lineup for Thursday's visit to Rayo Vallecano.

MAY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in loss Chukwueze scored a goal off two shots (one on target) and created three chances during Saturday's 2-1 loss against Alaves.

Impact Chukwueze had his fourth start over the last six matches in all competitions and was one of the few positives on the offensive end, scoring his side's lone goal with a big contribution from the keeper and being involved in many other dangerous plays. Gerard Moreno (hamstring) could be back for Tuesday's UCL second leg against Liverpool but Chukwueze would be coach's first option if there is any setback.

MAY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in loss Chukwueze played for 72 minutes of Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Chukwueze has started two of the last three matches after scoring the decisive goal against Bayern Munich but he's failed to put a shot on target in that time. Still, he'll have a softer matchup against Deportivo Alaves, which have conceded the fourth-most goals in La Liga, before Tuesday's second leg against Liverpool.
