Alejandro Bedoya - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Late call to face NYCFC Bedoya (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's match against NYCFC, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Bedoya will head into the conference semifinals carrying an injury, as he will need to pass some testing to play after picking up hamstring issues. This is something to monitor for the club, as he does appear regularly, although it is typically from the bench. That said, if he does make a call, expect the midfielder to play from the bench.

Could be available off bench Bedoya (quadriceps) is expected to be available off the bench for Saturday's game against the Red Bulls, Jose Roberto Nunez of AAT Sports Philadelphia reports.

JUNE 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out two to three weeks Bedoya is set to miss the next two to three weeks with a quad injury, according to manager Jim Curtin, per Jonathan Tannenwald of the Philly Inquirer.

Bedoya has been a fixture in the Philadelphia starting XI since 2017, having made 217 appearances and starting in 201 of those appearances. However, the veteran midfielder looks like he'll be asked to assume the role of an impact substitute in 2024, as Bedoya has made just three starts over nine total appearances.

He has now appeared off the bench in both of the club's opening matches following a season where he saw 28 starts, appearing to have fallen out of favor after only capturing four goal contributions the whole campaign. However, after his decent performance against Kansas City, he may have a shot at seeing the starting XI, especially if he continues with his goal contributions.
