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.
Out with hamstring injury
FLeeds United
OUT
January 29, 2026
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.
ANALYSIS
Nmecha is not going to be with his club Saturday to take the field, with the forward dealt a hamstring injury that is too much to play through. Luckily for the club, he has not started in their past two matches and went unused last game, not forcing a change. A return could come next game against Nottingham Forest, with the club appearing to think he has a good chance of being fit by then.
