Est. Return 5/1/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hannibal earned a solid role with Burnley in the Championship, totaling four assists and single goal during 37 appearances (23 starts). He was in and out of the starting XI throughout the season, which doesn't bode well for consistent playing time in the Premier League. The other worry is that despite playing in an attacking role, he didn't have much offensive production. He's still 22 years old and has a chance for offensive improvement, but it's hard to expect that jumping into the Premier League.
Targeting return for Leeds game
Hannibal (hamstring) won't be an option for Sunday's game at Nottingham Forest and is targeting his return to face Leeds United on May 1, according to manager Scott Parker. "Mejbri is edging closer but will miss this weekend, heading towards Leeds is a better option," he said.
ANALYSIS
Based on Parker's timeline, Hannibal would miss the games against Nottingham Forest and Manchester City, projecting him to return for the first weekend of May. Mejbri had started each of Burnley's last seven EPL matches before the injury, so his absence has been greatly felt. Lesley Ugochukwu should remain in a starting role in midfield as long as Hannibal remains out.
