He has proven to be a reliable goal poacher, accounting for over 39 percent of Trabzonspor&#8217;s goals in the Turkish Super Lig.<\/p>\n<p>Due to his brilliance in the final third, Trabzonspor are genuine contenders for the league title \u2013 their first real title race since the 2021\/22 campaign.

This is because he is dealing with an injury.<\/p>\n<p>Recall that he missed Trabzonspor&#8217;s last game against Alanyaspor at the Alanya Oba Stadium last weekend, and they eventually dropped points for the first time since the middle of April when Fenerbahce defeated them 2-1 at Papara Park.<\/p>\n<p>But unfortunately for them, the 31-year-old striker&#8217;s situation is still unsure.<\/p>\n<h2>Soccer Paul Onuachu A Source Of Worry For Trabzonspor<\/h2>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/thumbor\/r8Q-U1zs-uLIGwtQGl2-erot0J0=\/1024x683\/smart\/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.soccernet.ng%2Fmain%2F2025%2F11%2Fimago1069564442.jpg\" alt=\"Soccer Paul Onuachu during the Trendyol Turkish S\u00fcper Lig\"  ><figcaption>Paul Onuachu during the Trendyol Turkish S\u00fcper Lig (Photo by ImagoxSeskimphoto)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>According to a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.superhaber.com\/trabzonsporda-paul-onuachu-seferberligi-haber-572751\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> reports from Superhaber<\/a>, Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu is a source of serious concern for Trabzonspor. The big striker has an injury in his thigh, and as a result, Trabzonspor have put him under intensive care.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with this injury is that it seems to be touch and go, as no official return date has been confirmed for the former Southampton man.<\/p>\n<p>Losing Onuachu at the time could be dire for Trabzonspor, as he has been Trabzonspor&#8217;s best player this year. In fact, he is the reason they are in contention for a Champions League spot or even the Super Lig title.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/thumbor\/mTIfJL1pGKlrBjp8-oQm9cz_9uA=\/819x1024\/smart\/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.soccernet.ng%2Fmain%2F2025%2F11%2F20251108_184631.jpg\" alt=\"Soccer Paul Onuachu and Trabzonspor teammates celebrate goal\"  ><figcaption>Paul Onuachu and Trabzonspor teammates celebrate goal Photo by Trabzonspor\/ X<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As it stands, the 31-year-old is a big doubt for the Black Sea Storm&#8217;s game against Basaksehir on Sunday.
