Est. Return 10/4/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
FC Cincinnati picked up Nwobodo's option for 2025, setting up the designated player for another significant role in the midfield. Nwobodo's work rate allows Lucho Acosta to stay forward without defensive responsibilities, as he ranked in the 96th percentile for interceptions by midfielders at 1.91 per 90 minutes. While he doesn't add much offensively (one assist last season in 30 appearances), his defensive role is critical for how Pat Noonan's team plays. Expect another consistent season from Nwobodo in 2025.
Jogging Tuesday
Nwobodo (quadriceps) is jogging in training Tuesday, according to Laurel Pfahler of the Queen City Press.
ANALYSIS
Nwobodo is seeing his first true update of training since his surgery in early July, as the midfielder was seen jogging outside. That said, he is likely still a bit away from a return and will need more time to ramp up his fitness, needing to train with the group before he is even thought of playing.
