Serge Aurier - Page 2 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Ruled out Tuesday Aurier (undisclosed) will miss Tuesday's clash with Leeds United.

Impact It will be the second straight absence for Aurier due to his undisclosed injury, though he was considered a late-fitness test prior to this matchup with Leeds. In his stead, Neco Williams figures to fill the right-back role. Once cleared to play, Aurier should be a near-lock for the starting XI considering he has started 16 of his 18 EPL appearances for the club this season.

Late test against Leeds Aurier (undisclosed) is a late-fitness test for Tuesday's match against Leeds United, according to manager Steve Cooper. "Serge is still recovering. We'll give him every chance of...

Impact It doesn't sound like Aurier will be ready to start Tuesday unless he recovers quickly in the next 24 hours. He picked up an issue over the break and hasn't recovered, which likely means he won't be ready to start with Neco Williams getting another call. Aurier has kind of rejuvenated his career at Forest this season and will hope to get back to full training by end of the week.

Confirmed as out Aurier is not in the match day squad to face Wolverhampton on Saturday.

Impact Aurier misses out as expected as he recovers from a knock suffered on international duty. Neco Williams draws the start at right back in Aurier's place.

Doubt to face Wolves Aurier (undisclosed) is considered a doubt for Saturday's match against Wolverhampton, according to manager Steve Cooper. "We're not sure how long they will be out for or what thei...

Impact It's not an overly positive update on Aurier, who has started five of the last six matches for Forest. While he's played through minor issues before, this one is kind of unknown as it was suffered over the international break with the Ivory Coast. If he isn't ready, Neco Williams would likely move back into the starting XI Saturday at right-back.

Picks up knock over break Aurier reportedly suffered a knock in Friday's match with the Ivory Coast, according to the Nottingham Post.

Impact There hasn't been a ton of updates on Aurier in the days following Friday's match and he could still feature Tuesday for the Ivorians. This will be something to monitor later in the week ahead of Saturday's match against Wolves, as Neco Williams would likely slot back into the starting XI at full-back.

Makes five tackles in return Aurier generated five tackles (four won) and four crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Everton.

Impact Aurier made his return to the starting XI after sitting out last match with a calf issue. He picked up where he left off, completing multiple tackles and crosses from right back. The defender is now averaging 2.8 tackles, 2.6 clearances and 2.1 crosses a match after totaling 14 tackles (10 won), four clearances and nine crosses (one accurate) in the last five games. He has also been able to successfully win 63% of all tackles attempted thus far.

Recovers in time for Sunday Aurier is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Everton.

Impact Aurier returns after being a doubt in the buildup to the match with a calf injury. The wing-back has helped his club to four clean sheets in 16 appearances while scoring one goal.

Doubtful to face Everton Aurier (calf) is unlikely to be available for Sunday's clash against Everton.

Impact Forest manager Steve Cooper said in his press conference Friday that he's "not sure" about Aurier's fitness at the moment, but he's more likely to be an option against Spurs next weekend than he is against Everton. He was initially expected to miss 3-4 weeks when he picked up a calf injury against Manchester City in mid-February.

Set to miss 3-4 weeks Aurier (calf) will miss about 3-4 weeks after picking up a calf injury against Manchester City, "Serge is added to the injury list. He's going to be out for three to four weeks as...

Impact This is devastating news for Aurier, who will be sidelined for about a month with a calf injury. His contribution in the back is what led him to keep his starting right back position this season. This means that either Neco Williams or Chris Wood can receive more playing time in his absence.

Comes off injured against Man City Aurier was subbed out of Saturday's draw against Manchester City in the 79th minute after suffering an apparent injury. He made a block, two clearances and an interception in the m...

Impact Forest manager Steve Cooper told the Nottingham Post after Saturday's game that he's hopeful Aurier's injury was just due to fatigue and nothing more serious. If that's the case then he will be expected to return to the starting lineup by next weekend's clash against West Ham.

Fills stat sheet against Leicester Aurier created two chances, sent in four crosses (one accurate), made three tackles (two won), six clearances, two interceptions and one block and helped his side to keep a clean s...

Impact Aurier went up the field to provide support on the attacking end but was mostly impactful defensively, not letting the opposition creating anything from his flank and being key for his side to keep another clean sheet. This has been a bounce-back campaign for the right-back after two seasons without the playing time he was used to have and he should remain the first choice at his position at Forest for the foreseeable future.

Six clearances, five interceptions Aurier logged six clearances and five interceptions in Wednesday's 1-0 victory versus Southampton.

Impact Despite not scoring a goal like he did previously against Chelsea, Aurier was Nottingham Forest's best defender en route to the team logging its first clean sheet of 2023. Currently, he is a revelation for the struggling team. Nottingham Forest does not have many promising options, but Aurier can definitely count himself as one with the way he has been playing.

Earns a point for Forest Aurier scored a goal while taking two shots (one on goal) and crossing once inaccurately during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea.

Impact Aurier found the back of the net in the 63rd minute scoring the game tying goal to earn a point for Forest. The goal was the first in nine league appearances for the fullback while his lone cross upped his season total to 22.

Starting Tuesday Aurier (calf) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's clash with Manchester United.

Impact Aurier returns to the starting XI for the first match back in the Premier League, as expected. The defender was a nailed-on starter heading into the World Cup break and appears to have held onto that role moving into the second half of the Premier League.

Hopeful for United return Aurier (calf/shin) is hoping to return for a Tuesday trip to Manchester United, manager Steve Cooper told reporters. "It's been a mixture of kicks and loading through this period,...

Impact Aurier missed a Carabao Cup clash on Wednesday due to the calf issue but is hopeful to return when the Premier League resumes. The defender made seven appearances (six starts) before the World Cup break, including five starts in a row before the break.

Six crosses Saturday Aurier had six crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw to Brentford.

Impact Aurier sent in six crosses but created just a single chance, his first chance created in three matches. More often than not Aurier and co. get stuck behind the ball playing clean up defensively, giving him a decent floor, but little offensive upside. Aurier has created three chances in six appearances (five starts) though he has made 22 tackles in that time.

Starting against Brighton Aurier (muscular) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against Brighton.

Impact Aurier gets the surprise start Tuesday despite dealing with a muscular issue in recent days and missing the match over the weekend. Given that he went just 58 minutes in his last start (Oct. 10), it's hard to see him going much longer than that with Harry Toffolo an option off the bench.

Has muscular issue Aurier is likely in doubt to face Brighton on Tuesday due to a muscular injury, per manager Steve Cooper via the Nottingham Post. "(Aurier) played in the Leicester and Villa games....

Impact Aurier has played just twice this season and didn't take long for a fresh injury to send him back to the sidelines. Even if he doesn't play Tuesday, there's still four more games to play before the World Cup break in mid-November. While Aurier is out, Neco Williams appears to be the top option on the right defensive flank, starting in that spot for all but one of his 10 appearances.

OCTOBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not in squad to face Wolves Aurier is not in the match day squad to face Wolverhampton on Saturday.

Impact Aurier misses out on the trip with no notice of an injury in the buildup to the match. The full-back has made one start for the club as Neco Williams takes up his spot at right back.

Comes off bench in season finale Aurier subbed into last weekend's match against Barcelona in the 67th minute, and he made a clearance and won one of two tackles in the 2-0 victory.

Impact Aurier kept three clean sheets and assisted a goal in 19 La Liga appearances (10 starts) in his first season in Villarreal, but the 29-year-old is firmly the second choice at right back behind Juan Foyth at the moment.
