Ernest Nuamah
22-Year-Old
Lyon
Ligue 1
GTD
Injury Knee
Est. Return 4/25/2026
Getting closer
Nuamah (knee) is still lacking confidence following his long-term ACL recovery and getting closer to make the matchday squad, according to coach Paulo Fonseca, per Le Progres OL.
ANALYSIS
Nuamah has been absent for almost a year since suffering the ACL injury, and while his inclusion in the squad is a genuine milestone, manager Fonseca's assessment suggests he is not yet ready to be thrown into the thick of things. The Ghanaian forward will look to build his confidence gradually through limited appearances before pushing for a more prominent role in the attack, with the Gones hoping to ease him back carefully after such a lengthy absence.

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.
