Ernest Nuamah
22-Year-Old
Lyon
Ligue 1
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 3/22/2026
Trains with ball
Nuamah (knee) resumed ball training on grass this week, the club posted.
ANALYSIS
Nuamah still has a long road ahead, but he took a real step forward this week by getting back on the grass and working with the ball again. The forward is targeting a potential return in the second half of March at the earliest, though the club will continue to ramp him up cautiously. After such a lengthy spell out with an ACL injury, he will be focused on regaining his sharpness and carving out his rhythm again for the Gones once he is cleared for full action.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Everton showing interest
Everton are interested in signing Nuamah, according to Football Insider.
ANALYSIS
Everton could use another winger to bolster their depth in the final third, and Nuamah could be available for the right offer due to Lyon's financial problems. Other teams in the Premier League are expected to target Nuamah, though, so the Toffees might have competition for the services of the 21-year-old Ghanaian forward.
