Scores, comes off injured En-Nesyri scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-0 Champions League victory against FC Copenhagen before subbing out in the 70th minute with an injury.

Impact En-Nesyri has started three of Sevilla's five UCL matches this season, and he bagged his second goal of the competition on Wednesday with a header. But he lasted just 10 more minutes on the pitch before being replaced by Rafa Mir due to injury, and he'll only have a few days to recover before Saturday's clash against Rayo Vallecano back in La Liga.

Takes one shot in draw En-Nesyri put one shot off target and created one chance during 59 minutes of Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund.

Impact En-Nesyri couldn't keep up the pace after an impressive display in the first leg against Dortmund though neither side had much luck in the attack. Still, with two starts in three games, En-Nesyri might find more playing time under new manager Jorge Sampaoli ahead of the World Cup.

Scores in loss against Dortmund En-Nesyri scored a goal off nine shots (four on target) during Wednesday's 4-1 Champions League loss against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact En-Nesyri was the lone bright spot on Sevilla's offense, scoring his side's lone goal with a well-placed header off a corner from the left, leading all players in shots attempted and missing some big chances throughout the match. This was the first goal in all competitions this season for the forward, who will hope to win a spot in the starting XI under the new head coach.

Takes four shots against Bilbao En-Nesyri took four shots in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Athletic Bilbao.

Impact En-Nesyri had a disappointing campaign with just five goals in 23 La Liga appearances (15 starts) after netting 18 times in 2020/21. The 24-year-old will be challenging Rafa Mir for the starting spot at striker next season.

Scores in draw En-Nesyri scored from this only shot on target in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid. He also had three shots off target.

Impact En-Nesyri now has five goals and one assist from 22 appearances (14 starts). He is in sharp form having scored in two of his last four games. Sevilla will be looking for him to get on the scoresheet again in their next game against Athletic Club who have only lost one of their last five.

Takes four shots off bench in draw En-Nesyri had four shots (one on target) during Wednesday's scoreless draw against Mallorca.

Impact En-Nesyri was brought in the 54th minute as part of a double substitution and was very active up front, attempting a team-high four shots. The most dangerous of them came deep into stoppage time, when his header off a cross from the right was miraculously saved by the goalkeeper. With four league goals scored during this campaign and just one since September, the striker will probably be an option off the bench for Sunday's visit to Atletico Madrid.

Scores in draw En-Nesyri scored one goal from two shots (two on goal) during Friday's 1-1 draw with Cadiz.

Impact En-Nesyri found the net for the first time since September of 2021 and must feel some relief after going over five months without a goal in the league. Should he start for a third consecutive game, he'll next face Villarreal, which are one of the better defensive sides in the competition.

Starts in draw En-Nesyri put one shot off target in 58 minutes of Friday's scoreless draw with Deportivo Alaves.

Impact En-Nesyri has started each of the last two matches but still seems to be searching for something following a long injury layoff he returned from at the beginning of February. He has a favorable matchup upcoming against Rayo Vallecano which could help him regain some confidence.

Draws PK in win En-Nesyri had two shots (one on target) and drew a penalty kick during Sunday's 2-1 win over Betis.

Impact En-Nesyri was back with the starting XI after coming off the bench during the previous three contests. And the forward was key for his side to win all three points even without finding the back of the net. In the 22nd minute, he collected a long pass into empty space against two defenders and used his speed to beat them and be brought down by the goalkeeper inside the box. The penalty was converted by Ivan Rakitic for the opening goal of the match. En-Nesyri has been slowed down by injuries and his participation in AFCON with Morocco in January, but will now try to keep getting playing time. Up next for him is Friday's visit to Alaves.

Called up for AFCON En-Nesyri has left to join Morocco ahead of the upcoming African Cup of Nations and will miss Sevilla's next three games at least.

Impact En-Nesyri hasn't started for Sevilla since suffering a hamstring injury in September that he has only recently recovered from, but his club will now have to deal with the loss of both him and Munir El Haddadi to Morocco for the next month or so. This will mean an increased reliance on Rafa Mir and Lucas Ocampos in front of goal, while Oscar Rodriguez could see some more opportunities in the starting XI.

Could play against Barcelona En-Nesyri (hamstring) has been medically cleared to play ahead of Tuesday's clash against Barcelona, Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui confirmed Monday.

Impact En-Nesyri has featured just twice since September for Sevilla since suffering a hamstring injury in late September -- the two appearances, both off the bench, came in late October and early November right before he re-injured the hamstring -- but he might be able to return to the pitch on Tuesday. He likely isn't quite ready to start yet, but he could see some playing time off the bench.

Suffers hamstring recurrence En-Nesyri suffered a recurrence of his hamstring injury and will undergo new treatment with more weeks of absence likely.

Impact En-Nesyri had managed to play off the bench in two matches before suffering the recurrence of injury, so it's a tough one to take.
