Amahl Pellegrino - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Bench option Sunday Pellegrino (lower body) is on the bench for Sunday's meeting with Inter Miami.

Impact Pellegrino has avoided an absence despite heading into this game with a questionable status. However, he'll likely see limited involvement compared to his 60-minute outing in the previous match against Philadelphia, where he was deployed in a central position and tallied two shots on goal. With Marcus Ingvartsen also back from his own injury, Pellegrino should be back in the left-wing contention as a secondary option behind Elias Achouri.

Carrying questionable tag Pellegrino is questionable for Sunday's match against Inter Miami due to a lower-body injury.

Impact Pellegrino has started nine of his 18 league appearances this season, scoring three goals and adding one assist in just under 900 minutes of action. As productive as he's been, he's started just once since the league resumed after the 2026 FIFA World Cup break. Thus, his potential absence might not carry a ton of risk in most fantasy formats.

Scores final goal in 3-1 win Pellegrino scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Pellegrino scored the final goal as San Diego defeated LA Galaxy 3-1. The goal came at a crucial time as LA Galaxay had brought the score back to 2-1 against the 10 men of San Diego and had a goal disallowed. This goal allowed San Diego to go on and win the game comfortably.

Bench option against LAFC Pellegrino (lower body) is available off the bench in Saturday's meeting with Los Angeles FC.

Impact Pellegrino has left behind an injury that sidelined him since May 23, and he may now be set for a gradual return to action. He has been a rotational player during the current season, alternating starts with David Vazquez, Alex Mighten and Lewis Morgan. Whenever he's on the field, Pellegrino will attempt to produce via shots and creative stats, potentially getting a few chances to improve on his season totals of two goals and one assist over 11 appearances.

Struggling with injury Pellegrino is sidelined for Wednesday's visit to Colorado Rapids due to a lower body injury, according to the MLS.

Impact Pellegrino has been one of San Diego's major attacking pieces this season, providing a direct goal threat and the movement in behind that makes the expansion club's attack most dangerous. His lower body injury is the most significant individual absence in San Diego's week 17 report and removes one of the club's most reliable sources of creativity. A return timeline will depend on the specific nature of the lower body problem, which has not been detailed. Pellegrino has played on the left wing, a spot that could be covered by either David Vazquez or Alex Mighten.

Scores one goal Pellegrino scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus FC Cincinnati.

Impact Pellegrino delivered a strong performance in Saturday's 3-3 draw with Cincinnati, finding himself one-on-one with Roman Celentano in the second half after receiving Pedro Soma's through pass before rifling a right-footed shot past the diving goalkeeper to level the match at 2-2 and ignite San Diego's push for a winner. The 35-year-old Norwegian forward, one of the most experienced attackers in MLS, operates as a technically refined pressing forward who creates space for teammates as effectively as he finishes chances himself, and he has remained a consistent contributor both as a starter and impact substitute in Mikey Varas's rotation. Pellegrino has now scored two goals and added one assist across 10 MLS appearances this season.

On bench to face Austin Pellegrino (undisclosed) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Austin.

Impact Pellegrino could replace Alex Mighten on the left wing at some point of the game, holding some offensive upside, even though he has failed to score or assist in each of his last four league appearances. Given that he didn't suffer a serious injury from the blow that forced him to leave the previous match, Pellegrino's playing time management may be due to rotation during the double week, so he'll look to be more active in subsequent fixtures.

MAY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Injured in draw Pellegrino was subbed off due to injury in the 74th minute of Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Seattle Sounders FC.

Impact Pellegrino came off in the 74th minute with an undisclosed injury. He had been dealing with an Achilles injury earlier in the season, however it is unclear if this injury is related to this. The winger had earned a start in the last two appearances, recording a goal and an assist through nine games.

MAY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Suspension served Pellegrino has served his one match suspension and will be an option for the match vs LAFC on Saturday.

Impact Pellegrino will return Saturday after missing last match through suspension. He's made a start off the bench the previous two matches, having started four of the first five games for San Diego, scoring and assisting once to match his total from 2025.

Sent off in loss Pellegrino received a straight red card as a substitute during Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Houston Dynamo.

Impact Pellegrino was punished for a reckless kick on an opposing player in the second half of this game. The attacker will consequently miss the next home match against Portland through suspension. He came off the bench against Houston, so his ban may not impact the starting lineup, with Lewis Morgan and Onni Valakari retaining their spots. The next chance for Pellegrino to play will come in a May 2 clash with LAFC.

On bench for RSL match Pellegrino (Achilles) is among the substitutes in Saturday's visit to Real Salt Lake.

Impact Pellegrino made significant progress in his rehabilitation during the last couple of weeks and could be slowly restored into a significant role in the next few games. The winger, who missed two MLS matchups due to his injury, had previously scored one goal and assisted once across five outings. His availability threatens Lewis Morgan and Alex Mighten in terms of playing time going forward.

Impact Pellegrino would give his team a big offensive boost if he's available for upcoming contests following a two-game absence. However, he might not be ready for significant time on the field yet, with Lewis Morgan and Alex Mighten likely to stay active on the left wing in the meantime. Pellegrino has scored and assisted once across five games played in the current MLS season.

APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE

Out with injury Pellegrino is out for the time being due to a lower-body injury, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Pellegrino is not going to be with the team after the international break, as the attacker is suffering from an injury. The club now loses its starting attacker on the left wing, having only missed one start all season until the injury. The club will likely rely on Alex Mighten in Pellegrino's role until fit again.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Sets up one of two goals Pellegrino had an assist while creating three chances during Sunday's 2-2 draw with RSL.

Impact Pellegrino set up Anders Dreyer in the 56th minute assisting San Diego's second goal while tying for the team high in chances created. The goal involvement was the first since February 22nd for the attacker as he's combined for three shots, five chances created and two crosses over his last three appearances.

Erupts as creative threat Pellegrino generated two shots (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 2-0 win versus St. Louis City SC.

Impact Pellegrino came close to scoring in the second half, but Roman Burki denied him. Still, the winger was a huge problem for the opposing defense due to his elite pace and skill. Pellegrino should remain locked into the starting lineup as long as he stays healthy.

Scores one goal Pellegrino scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 5-0 win against CF Montreal.

Impact Pellegrino scored late in the first half of Saturday's win over CF Montreal, finishing a rebound after a save on an Anders Dreyer shot. The left winger was lively throughout, consistently taking on defenders and drawing multiple fouls while posing a constant threat. The Norwegian had started the final six matches of last season, recording five goals and one assist during that span, and appears to have carried that momentum into the season opener.
