Dodi Lukebakio
28-Year-Old

OUT
Injury Ankle
Est. Return 2/24/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lukebakio bounced back in 2024/25 in a big way, scoring 11 goals and adding two assists in 38 appearances (36 starts). After a mostly dour, injury-riddled first season in Sevilla, he appeared in every league game last campaign. Despite Sevilla having plenty of struggles overall as a team, Lukebakio produced double-digit goals, seven more than the team's next highest scorer. If that efficiency can improve just a bit after scoring 11 goals from 94 shots, there's a real chance for 15 or so goals, assuming he can stay fit for the entire season again.
Out three months
Lukebakio will be out for at least the next three months due to a fractured ankle, according to his club, per Tom Kundert of PortuGoal. "Dodi has a fracture in his ankle. He will be operated on and will start the recovery process."
ANALYSIS
Lukebakio suffered an injury over the international break and is now set for a decent spell on the sidelines, missing at least three months after an ankle operation. This is unfortunate, as he will be out until at least the end of February, meaning the loss of a regular starter for a decent spell. This will leave him out of the rest of the league stage of UCL play, now hoping his team can advance without him, with Fredrik Aursnes likely to move to the attack while Amar Dedic joins the starting XI due to Lukebakio's absence.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Napoli looking at him?
Napoli could make a move for Lukebakio, according to El Desmarque.
ANALYSIS
Napoli must find a way to replace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who left the club and signed with PSG, and Lukebakio is their first choice. However, Sevilla aren't expected to part ways with the Belgium international. Napoli would have to submit a mammoth offer to secure the service of the winger, who can play all over the attacking third.
