Injury Hamstring
Est. Return 2/6/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Nmecha is an interesting bet on upside for Leeds United, who are hoping he can get back to some of the goalscoring he had early with Wolfsburg. Significant injuries kept him off the pitch for much of the last two seasons, and he was unable to earn a major role even once back to full fitness. Prior to those injury concerns, he had established himself as one of the promising young strikers in Germany. He doesn't have a guaranteed role with Leeds, but he should get chances in the Premier League. That said, a lot of those early chances will likely be off the bench, limiting his usefulness early in the campaign.
Unlikely to play Friday
Nmecha (hamstring) did not train with the team Wednesday and is unlikely to play Friday against Nottingham Forest, said coach Daniel Farke in the press conference. "Lukas not in team training yet. We have two more days, it's probably unlikely that he will make it for this game but he's also not too far away"
ANALYSIS
Nmecha did not train with the team Wednesday due to a hamstring injury and is unlikely to feature in Friday's match against Nottingham Forest. He will undergo a late fitness test following the final training session to determine his availability. The forward has played a regular substitute role this season, starting just two of his last seven available matches, so his potential absence is not expected to have a major impact.

Out with hamstring injury
Nmecha is out for Saturday's match against Arsenal due to a hamstring injury, according to manager Daniel Farke. "We will also miss Lukas. He reported during the warmup for Everton some problems with his hamstring, and this was the reason I did not bring him on. We have assessed him, and he will definitely miss the Arsenal game, but we hope that we have him back for Nottingham.

Could be available Sunday
Nmecha (hamstring) has a small chance to be back available for Sunday's clash against Sunderland, coach Daniel Farke said in the press conference. "It is a small chance for Lukas to be involved, so there is some progress. I hope I have him at some point during this week, also back in team training.
