SHKODRAN MUSTAFI NEWS

Out for season finale Mustafi (quadriceps) was not called up by Levante for Friday's clash against Rayo.

Impact Mustafi had a disastrous campaign due to injury, as he kept two clean sheets in 11 La Liga appearances (eight starts), and only featured one time since the turn of the calendar year. Levante are getting relegated and he will just hope to be healthy come the start of next season.

Injured again in training Mustafi suffered a quad injury during training on Monday, according to Onda Cero.

Impact Mustafi had only just returned off the bench last weekend after missing three months with a knee injury, but he has now suffered a new injury during training and will be a doubt for Sunday's clash against Barcelona.

Could be available against Osasuna Mustafi (knee) has been called up by Levante for Saturday's clash against Osasuna.

Impact Mustafi has missed Levante's last 11 La Liga games since suffering an LCL injury in mid-December, but he's recovered well and could even make his return to the pitch this weekend.

Making progress with recovery Mustafi (knee) partially returned to training with Levante on Tuesday.

Impact Mustafi has been out since December since having knee surgery, but he's getting closer to being able to return. Levante has been playing with a back-three from Ruben Vezo, Oscar Duarte, Rober Pier and Martin Caceres in Mustafi's absence, but they may return to just a flat four once he's fit again.

Out three months with injury Mustafi has sprained his right LCL and is expected to miss about three months as he recovers, Levante announced Sunday.

Impact Mustafi suffered a knee injury in Saturday's defeat against Espanyol, and further tests have revealed a sprained LCL. Oscar Duarte is likely to take over in central defense alongside Ruben Vezo until Mustafi can return.

Logs goal and 12 clearances Mustafi logged one goal and 12 clearances during a 3-1 loss Sunday at Betis.

Impact Mustafi logged his first goal and season-best clearance tally concerning the ongoing La Liga campaign. He was an excellent fantasy option Sunday, but managers should not expect a similar output consistently until further notice. The Levante team is La Liga's worst right now.

Playing against Athletic Mustafi (undisclosed) will feature in the starting XI for Friday's matchup with Athletic.

Impact Mustafi returns to the pitch following a three-game stint on the sidelines due to his undisclosed injury. Even with his return to the starting XI, the defender won't offer much in the way of fantasy value given his limited offensive upside, though he should generate plenty of interceptions and clearances.

Out Saturday Mustafi (undisclosed) will be out for Saturday's clash with Alaves after failing to make the initial squad list.

Impact Mustafi will be out Saturday as he continues to deal with a muscular injury. The defender has no timeline for his return, though there is hope that he will be healthy after the international break.

Remains out Mustafi (undisclosed) will miss Monday's clash with Granada after failing to make the preliminary squad.

Impact Mustafi failed to make the initial squad list and will miss another match with a likely muscular injury. It appears the defender will be out until after the international break, unless something changes in practice he's very questionable for Saturday's clash with Alaves.

Out Thursday Mustafi (undisclosed) will be out for Thursday's clash with Atletico Madrid.

Impact Mustafi will be out for Thursday's match after coming off during Sunday's clash with Sevilla with a knock. It's still unclear what the injury is, but with only two chances to play before the international break Levante may choose to take a conservative approach with Mustafi's recovery.

Subs off in first half Mustafi was forced off in the first half of Sunday's match with Sevilla due to an undisclosed injury.

Impact Mustafi lasted just 22 minutes before succumbing to injury and being replaced. More information about the defender's extent of injury should be known ahead of Thursday's match with Atletico Madrid.

Makes five clearances in draw Mustafi made one tackle, five clearances, one interception and two blocks while helping his side to keep a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against Getafe.

Impact Mustafi was back in the lineup and had a great performance at the heart of the defense, pacing his side in clearances and keeping opposing forwards at bay all the time, being a huge reason why Levante could shut the opposition down for the first time this season. The centre back, who started three of the last four matches, will certainly have much more work coming his way during Oct. 24 visit to Sevilla.

Signs with Levante Mustafi has signed a two-year deal with Levante after most recently playing for Schalke.

Impact Mustafi gives Levante an immediate option on the back line after being loaned to Schalke this past campaign. The former Arsenal defender last appeared in La Liga in the 2015/16 season when he made 30 starts for Valencia.

Makes 12 clearances in finale Holding had two shots not on target and 12 clearances in Sunday's 3-2 win against Watford.

Impact Holding received a few more starts following the restart, mostly due to injuries to David Luis and Shkodran Mustafi. There's a chance he opens the new season as a starter, though he may have to compete with Pablo Mari for playing time if he returns to health.
