Xeka - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Still out against Reims Xeka (undisclosed) will not be in the match-day squad versus Reims on Wednesday.

Impact Xeka was listed on the 20-man traveling squad, so there was some expectation he would be available. In his last five appearances (all starts), the defensive midfielder recorded one goal on eight shots (one on target), nine tackles (two won) and six interceptions. Given his limited offensive upside, Xeka is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value even once cleared to return.

Probable versus Reims Xeka (knock) was named in the 20-man squad for Wednesday's match versus Reims.

Impact Xeka left over the weekend with what appears to have been just a minor knock and given the plenty of defensive absences for Lille the versatile midfielder may have to slot at center-back even if he's not at 100%.

Scores and leaves injured Xeka scored on three shots (one on target) but limped off the pitch in the 53rd minute of Saturday's 2-1 loss to Lens with a suspected injury.

Impact Xeka was having a solid performance and put the ball in the back of the net with a ruthless header for the consolation goal but had to prematurely exit the game with a problem. His issue will surely threat his status for the next game on a short week. If he's forced to miss more time Wednesday Amadou Onana could be the next man up in midfield.

Available for Angers match Xeka (suspension) is available for Sunday's match versus Angers.

Impact Xeka will surely bid for a starting role in his return but with Renato Sanches also back in action this weekend the former may have to only have limited role off the bench moving forward.

Suspended for Bordeaux match Xeka is suspended for Saturday's match versus Bordeaux.

Impact Xeka's absence could be very crucial if Renato Sanches also remains out through his injury. In that case youngster Amadou Onana may have a chance for a second straight start in the middle of the park.

Impact Xeka was at the right place, at the right time after a terrific run to clean up a bounced ball after Jonas Omlin's save and found the back of the net for the winner for the champions. The midfielder had one more excellent opportunity to score that came agonizingly close to the goal as well. With Renato Sanches in the infirmary at the moment Xeka may have a chance for a run at starting role but his status depends on the status of Sanches.

Returns to bench Xeka (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's clash with Paris.

Impact Xeka is on the bench Sunday after an undisclosed injury kept him out of the squad before the international break. The midfielder should be fully available and if called upon should be able to get a run out to test his fitness. Look for Xeka to remain on the bench more likely than not, as he has largely fallen out of the first team.

Ruled out for Brest match Xeka didn't make the 20-man squad for Saturday's match versus Brest due to an undisclosed reason, L'Equipe reports.

Scores first goal of season Xeka scored on his lone shot and added one chance created and two interceptions in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Rennes.

Impact Xeka broke the deadlock early in the game with his first score of the season. He's only had one shot on target over his past seven appearances but the goal could inspire him to look forward more often moving forward. The central midfielder does get occasional offensive bursts with crosses, shots and chances created but is mostly producing defensive peripheral stats.

Impact Xeka continues his terrific form this campaign and delivered another fruitful stat line in terms of peripheral stats. He won't produce a ton of goals or assists but has been a factor in formats with peripheral stats and set pieces boost his numbers even more.

Impact Xeka delivered the goods again after another very productive outing. He's been a creative force this season and has taken the reins in the middle of the park with a major role in the squad. The central midfielder however is still missing a goal or an assist yet after seven starts.

Impact Xeka returned from his suspension with a bang. The midfielder delivered another magnificent performance and confirmed his great form this season. He's now racked up eight crosses twice over his last three starts and has been very productive in peripheral stats on both sides of the ball. He's still looking for his first goal or assist this season though.

Available versus Strasbourg Xeka (suspension) is available for Saturday's match versus Strasbourg.

Impact Xeka will surely slot right back in the lineup in his return. Set pieces have boosted his numbers and he's already racked up 12 crosses along with some shots and chances created in his five starts but is still looking for his first goal or assist of the campaign. He's also been productive in defensive peripheral stats.
