February 12, 2026
Wieffer (toe) has completed his recovery from injury ahead of the FA Cup clash with Liverpool, with coach Fabian Hurzeler confirming that "Wieffer will be back, so that's a positive one. Mats is a big player who has a big impact on our game. He has a big personality as well. So we definitely missed him and we are all happy that he's back now.", according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Wieffer has missed the last nine contests across all competitions after making his last appearance on Dec. 27, but he's likely to regain a starting spot at some point. Whenever that happens, Ferdi Kadioglu may return to a left-back role, pushing Maxim De Cuyper as well as Joel Veltman to the bench. Prior to the issue, Wieffer delivered three assists in 16 games.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Brighton showing interest
M/DFeyenoord
July 4, 2024
Brighton are interested in signing Wieffer in the summer transfer window, according to The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Brighton are looking to bolster their midfield, especially if Pascal Gross departs the team in the summer, and Wieffer is one of the top options the team is looking at. He wasn't part of the Netherlands team for the Euros due to an injury, but at his best, the 24-year-old is one of the most consistent under-25 midfielders in Europe's second-tier leagues.
