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.
Working away from team
Nwobodo (quadriceps) has been working away from the team with a trainer as he continues to progress well, per FC Cincinnati Staff Writer Carter Chapley.
ANALYSIS
Nwobodo has yet to return with the team, following his quad injury suffered back in late June. A return this month does not seem likely, as the midfielder will aim to be ready for October, especially with Cincinnati already clinching a playoff spot.
