Mohamed Ali Zoma, the top scorer for 1. FC Nürnberg, is expected to be sidelined until at least the winter break following a shoulder injury. The 22-year-old attacker dislocated his shoulder during a 1-1 draw against Energie Cottbus.

Zoma has been a key figure in Nürnberg’s successful start to the 2026/2027 2. Bundesliga season, scoring seven goals in his first eight matches. His absence presents a tactical challenge for coach Miroslav Klose, as Zoma is noted for his exceptional speed, reaching up to 36.7 km/h. 

To compensate for the loss of Zoma’s pace, the club is looking toward squad depth, with potential options including Rayan Ghrieb, William Böving, and Rafael Lubach. The team may also rely more heavily on offensive contributions from full-backs such as Eric Porstner, Ioannis Masouras, and Tim Janisch.
