On bench Saturday Bedoya (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Montreal.

Doubtful with knee injury Bedoya has sustained a knee issue that puts his participation in question for upcoming games, the MLS reported Friday.

Impact Bedoya is a longtime USMNT midfielder and one of the most experienced and influential players in Philadelphia Union history, even though he hasn't played a huge role this season, so his unavailability would impact the squad's depth. It's unclear when he picked up the injury and how long he'll be sidelined if he fails to recover in upcoming weeks. Both Cavan Sullivan and Quinn Sullivan will be expected to see increased playing time on the wings if the veteran is ruled out for an extended period.

Grabs assist Bedoya assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Chicago Fire.

Extends Philadelphia tenure Bedoya has signed a one-year contract with the Union for the 2026 MLS season, the club announced Thursday.

Impact This will be Bedoya's 11th season with the club, and while he's no longer a regular starter, he could be a decent bench option given his experience. Bedoya isn't expected to be a regular asset in fantasy in most formats due to the limited role he'll have in Philly's midfield scheme.

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.

Another direct contribution Bedoya assisted once to go with two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 win over Colorado Rapids.

Impact Taking advantage of a defensive lapse by Colorado, Bedoya sent a through ball that allowed Mikael Uhre to rush into open space and log another goal for himself.

Impact Bedoya led his side with two shots Sunday, but failed to put either on target. He has still not recorded a goal contribution through 13 matches (five starts) this season.

Signs new deal with Philly Bedoya has signed a one-year contract extension with Philadelphia for the 2025 MLS season, the club announced Monday.

Impact Bedoya had been in talks with Philadelphia over signing a new deal for the past few days, and it seems both parties have finally reached an agreement. Bedoya might be past his prime, but he should continue to see decent minutes for Philly, though he's most likely to come off the bench rather than starting on a regular basis.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Negotiating with Philly The Union announced they're in talks to re-sign Bedoya for the 2025 MLS season.

Impact Bedoya is certainly past his prime years, but he remains a key piece for Philadelphia, both due to his on-field contributions but also as a veteran leader in the locker room. Bedoya made 13 starts and logged 30 appearances for Philadelphia in 2024, tallying two goals and two assists.

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.

Impact Having Bedoya back as an alternative in midfield is great news for the Union, as they'll be missing Jose Andres Martinez (international duty) and Jesus Bueno (ankle). Bedoya has started in eight of his 17 appearances this season.

Impact Bedoya looks to be nearing a return after missing the club's past two games, as he is starting to train again. This leaves the midfielder in a decent spot, although he will still likely need a bit more time to heal, probably not returning for around another week or two.

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.

Impact Bedoya went down in the Union's most recent match, with it now known he is dealing with a quadriceps issue. This will likely force him to miss four to five games, with a return around mid to early June. Jesus Bueno will probably serve in Bedoya's spot while he is out.

Picks up injury Bedoya was forced off in the second half of Saturday's match against Miami with an injury.

Furnishes assist in loss Bedoya assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Tuesday's 3-2 defeat against Seattle Sounders FC.

Impact Bedoya's second half assist Tuesday was for naught as Philadelphia fell to Seattle by a margin of 2-3. The assist was Bedoya's second of the campaign. After starting in the previous two matches, Bedoya returned to substitute duty Tuesday, entering the fray to begin the second half. 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.

Impact substitute appearance Bedoya assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Minnesota United.

Bedoya set-up Philadelphia's second half goal with a headed pass for his first assist of the season.

Bedoya has made just one start in five appearances. he's scored once and provided one assist over those appearances.

Impact Bedoya earned his first goal of the season Saturday, finding the net in the 95th minute to salvage his team a draw. 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.
