JORGINHO NEWS

Yet to start Jorginho has made three appearances (no starts) before the international break.

Impact Jorginho came back from a groin injury and appeared off the bench three times, though only for a total of 18 minutes. The midfielder seems to have fallen largely out of favor with the addition of Declan Rice. That said with Arsenal expecting to compete in domestic and European cup competitions there will be plenty of playing time to go around.

Available against Nottingham Forest Jorginho (strain) is a bench option for Saturday's game versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Jorginho is good to go as anticipated by the coach, but he'll at most see some action off the bench. Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Martin Odegaard are starting in the midfield.

Impact Jorginho is expected to be an option for the Premier League opener despite missing the Community Shield. With just over a week more to prepare it's possible that Jorginho is left with a bench role during Saturday's Premier League opener even if deemed fit.

AUGUST 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Misses Community Shield match Jorginho will not be available for Sunday's community shield match against Manchester City with a muscle strain.

Impact Jorginho will miss out on his first competitive match of the season with a muscle strain. It is unclear how severe the injury is, but in any case, Thomas is expected to continue to get the start in the midfield alongside Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard.

Ends season as starter Jorginho made 14 Premier League appearances (nine starts) and recorded an assist from midfield for Arsenal this season after his January move from Chelsea.

Impact Jorginho was a regular presence for Arsenal following his winter transfer, and the 31-year-old's role in the squad is likely to grow further next season if Granit Xhaka departs the club as expected.

Provides assist versus Newcastle Jorginho provided an assist, created two chances, made two tackles, two clearances and two interceptions and drew four fouls during Sunday's 2-0 win over Newcastle.

Impact Jorginho made his second consecutive start and made most of the new opportunity with an assist for Martin Odegaard to open the scoring in the 14th minute and many other contributions in the middle of the park, especially on defense. This was the first appearance on the scoresheet for Jorginho since joining Arsenal and he'll try to keep showing how useful he can be next season.

Starts in win over former club Jorginho made a block and completed 63 passes in Tuesday's 3-1 victory against Chelsea.

Impact Jorginho helped Arsenal to a comfortable victory against his former club Chelsea on Tuesday in what was his first Premier League start in roughly two months. He's likely to return to the bench in favor of Thomas Partey moving forward, but he proved he remains a very capable midfield deputy.

MAY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unused on bench Jorginho (illness) was an unused substitute during Saturday's 3-2 win over Bournemouth.

Impact Jorginho didn't see any playing time during Saturday's win, but he was active on the bench. The midfielder is still recovering from the illness, though it was reported to be mild. Jorginho should be fully available moving forward, with eyes on a spot back in the starting XI, as he made four starts in a row before coming down with an illness.

MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Should be available Saturday Jorginho (illness) is "fine" heading into the Bournemouth clash at the weekend, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed in his press conference Friday.

Impact Jorginho was dealing with an illness in mid-week and had to sub out of the Everton win at halftime, but he's fully fit now according to Arteta and should be an option in midfield to face Bournemouth on Saturday.

MARCH 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Subbed off early Wednesday Jorginho was subbed off after halftime of Wednesday's win against Everton because he wasn't feeling well, according to manager Mikel Arteta.

Impact Jorginho was on his fourth-straight start, but something was apparently bugging him Wednesday, though Arteta didn't dive into the details. Unfortunately for Jorginho, Thomas Partey seems to be healthy again and will likely move back into the XI as soon as Saturday's match against Bournemouth. In his four starts, Jorginho had two shots not on target, three chances created and seven tackles (three won).

Makes Arsenal debut Jorginho subbed into Saturday's match against Everton in the 59th minute and took a shot and won one of one tackles in the 1-0 defeat.

Impact Jorginho made his first appearance for Arsenal on Saturday after his deadline day transfer from Chelsea. He's likely to continue mostly as the backup option behind Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey in defensive midfield.

Jorginho joins Premier League leader Arsenal from Chelsea

JANUARY 31, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Heads to Arsenal Jorginho has completed a move to Arsenal from Chelsea and signed a deal until 2024 with an option for a further year.

Impact Jorginho leaves Chelsea after apparently not being part of the plans for manager Graham Potter. Vital to the team's prior successes, he'll likely now play in more of a bench role for Arsenal, at least when Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey are healthy. His move comes following the news of Mohamed Elneny's knee surgery, which will keep him out the rest of the season, at minimum.

Major defensive duties Jorginho generated five tackles (three won), one clearance and four interceptions in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Liverpool.

Impact Jorginho had so much to do in the midfield, as Liverpool sent wave-after-wave of attacks forward. The defensive midfielder piled on the volume but offered little going forward, as is normal. Jorginho will hope to keep this volume going as Chelsea look to stabilize from some awful recent form.

JANUARY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Executes two key passes in victory Jorginho performed two key passes in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Bournemouth.

Impact Jorginho, the captain, was instrumental on Tuesday controlling the midfield in Chelsea's pedestrian win over Bournemouth. He still has to contribute an assist for The Blues but from 14 appearances (12 starts) he has scored two goals.

DECEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Newcastle Jorginho is fit and in the starting XI to face Newcastle on Saturday.

Impact Jorginho returns after dealing with a foot injury that kept him out of league cup action against Manchester City. The midfielder has started 11 of his 13 league appearances, scoring two goals.

NOVEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Should be ready Saturday Jorginho (foot) returned to training and should be in the squad for Saturday's trip to Newcastle, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact It's a positive update for Jorginho, who may have been held out midweek only as a precaution. He's started five of the past six matches in league and UCL, only staying on the bench for the trip to Brighton. If both healthy, there's a chance Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic are back together in the midfield Saturday.

NOVEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with foot injury Jorginho has a "slight problem" in his foot and is a doubt for Wednesday's Cup match, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Jorginho has gone a full 90 in back-to-back matches and probably won't be risked Wednesday if not completely fit. If this is a minor issue, he should hold his spot in the XI for Saturday's trip to Newcastle, but information for that match will come later in the week.

NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Shows good form in win Jorginho created two chances, made one tackle (one won) and added two interceptions in Wednesday's 2-1 victory versus Dinamo Zagreb.

Impact Although the stat line isn't anything to write home about here, Jorginho was arguably the best player on the pitch Wednesday throughout the full 90. He was crucial in helping to key Chelsea's second and game winning tally with an excellent touch in the build up of a Denis Zakaria goal. Across six group stage appearances (four starts), the veteran pivot man scored once and created a chance per match.

NOVEMBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes three interceptions Jorginho took two shots (on goal) and made three interceptions during Tuesday's 2-1 win over Red Bull Salzburg.

Impact Jorginho was held off the scoresheet but led Chelsea with three interceptions in the match. The midfielder's lone Champions League goal through five matches has come from the penalty spot as he lacks much open play upside for fantasy managers.

OCTOBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in draw Jorginho scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester United.

Impact Jorginho scored once to move to two goals in the opening 11 matches (nine starts.) The defensive midfielder isn't any sort of offensive threat from open play but his role on penalties gives him some upside. Jorginho has finished with seven and six goals in each of his previous two campaigns with Chelsea.
