Willem Geubbels
LEC
Wasteful showing against Udinese
Geubbels had four shots (three on goal), two completed passes and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-0 win against Udinese.
Analysis: Geubbels had his most productive outing yet, but he lacked poise in the box, squandering a couple of clear-cut scoring opportunities. He's still searching for his first goal. He has been used more than Nikola Stulic and Paco Esteban when healthy. He has fired at least one shot in three consecutive appearances, piling up nine (four on target) and adding one chance created and five crosses (one accurate) over that span.
Provides spark against Bologna
Geubbels (ankle) had three shots (zero on target), three crosses (one accurate) and one key pass in 28 minutes in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Bologna.
Analysis: Geubbels was managed following an ankle injury but put up good numbers during his time on the pitch, outplaying Paco Esteban, who got the nod at the position. He paced his team in attempts but lacked precision. He'll likely resume starting soon. He has posted five shots (one on target), one key pass and two tackles (one won) in three outings.
Returns to bench against Bologna
Geubbels (ankle) is available off the bench for Sunday's Serie A clash against Bologna after recovering from an ankle sprain.
Analysis: Geubbels returns to Lecce's matchday squad after missing three consecutive fixtures due to an ankle injury. The forward resumed full training without restrictions during the international break and is now fit enough to provide an attacking option off the bench. He had started ahead of Nikola Stulic before his injury, recording two shots (one on target) and one tackle across two Serie A appearances without a goal contribution. Geubbels could see limited minutes against Bologna as he works toward regaining his starting role.
Returns to full training
Geubbels (ankle) has resumed training with no limitations Sunday, Lecce announced.
Analysis: Guebbels will return after the break, as previously anticipated, after sitting out three fixtures because of an ankle sprain. He was starting over Nikola Stulic before getting hurt, notching two shots (one on target) and one tackle in two appearances, with no goal contributions.
Out for the next two fixtures
Geubbels (ankle) "will return after the break," coach Eusebio De Francesco relayed.
Analysis: Geubbels will remain sidelined against Monza and Milan because of an ankle sprain and will be back in mid-October if everything goes well. Nikola Stulic and Paco Esteban will handle the center-forward role in the meantime.
Absent for Cagliari game
Geubbels (ankle) hasn't been selected for Monday's match against Cagliari.
Analysis: Geubbels has been diagnosed with a standard sprain, has not trained throughout the week, and is also at risk for the following game versus Monza. Nikola Stulic will get the start in relief, while Paco Esteban could get some minutes off the bench.
Bows out in Roma clash
Geubbels had two shots (one on goal) in 54 minutes before leaving Monday's game versus Roma due to a lower leg injury, Lecce announced.
Analysis: Geubbels didn't have a good showing like most Lecce players in this one, although he paced his side in attempts. He got tangled up with an opponent on a tackle and had to be helped off the pitch by the medical staff while walking very gingerly. He'll be evaluated for possible knee or ankle problems ahead of next Monday's game versus Cagliari. He was replaced by Nikola Stulic, who's the only other striker on the squad.
Transferred to Lecce
Geubbels completed a permanent transfer to Lecce from Paris FC, the club announced.
Analysis: Geubbels joined Paris FC in the summer of 2025 to bolster the attack of the newly promoted club, contributing five goals and an assist during a season that ended in a comfortable top flight survival, with his experience proving valuable for the team throughout the campaign. He now moves to Serie A to begin the next chapter of his career, and Geubbels is expected to add attacking depth to Lecce's frontline.
Available for season finale derby
Geubbels (undisclosed) has been cleared and is available for Sunday's season finale derby against PSG, the club posted.
Analysis: Geubbels had been forced off in the 71st minute of last weekend's clash against Rennes raising concerns over his fitness, but the positive update confirms he has recovered from what appeared to be muscle fatigue. The forward should be in contention to start against PSG as Paris FC bring the curtain down on their Ligue 1 campaign.
Taken off due to injury
Geubbels was forced off in the 71st minute of Sunday's match against Paris FC due to an apparent injury, according to Ulysse Hamelin of Foobtall KO.
Analysis: Geubbels had to leave the match Sunday and is now sitting as questionable heading into the final match day due to an injury. It appears to only be an issue of muscle fatigue at the moment, but the club will do more testing to determine the status of a player who has dealt with injuries all season. He will then be a close call for the season finale against PSG, with Ciro Immobile as a feasile replecement.
Starts and scores
Geubbels scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-0 victory over Brest.
Analysis: For only the second time since March, Geubbels entered Paris FC's starting XI. He took advantage of the opportunity by scoring what is only his third goal this Ligue 1 season. Even with limited opportunities, Geubbels still has more goals than starting forward and fellow striker Ciro Immobile, who has two goals for Paris FC since becoming the team's main man up front.
