Option picked up for 2026 Gerbet's contract option for 2026 was picked up, Orlando announced.

Impact Gerbet is returning to Orlando in 2026 after his contract option was picked up. There's a good chance he will miss a large portion of the 2026 campaign after his ACL injury. The midfielder was a big part of the starting XI prior to his injury and should be back in that role when he's back to full fitness.

Out with knee injury Gerbet (knee) won't play during Saturday's clash with Vancouver, per the MLS injury report.

Impact Gerbet won't be an option for Saturday's clash due to a knee injury. The midfielder got the start last time out and was forced off with the injury in just six minutes. Kyle Smith could be forced into defense due to international matches, which means Cesar Araujo (lower back) could be forced to start if he can overcome a questionable tag Saturday.

Subs off injured Saturday Gerbet left Saturday's match against Columbus Crew with an undisclosed injury.

Impact Gerbet was replaced by Kyle Smith after just six minutes during his first start since returning from a concussion in the previous match. The central midfielder, who has assisted once in 20 MLS games played, is now questionable for the final pair of regular-season fixtures. However, the full extent of his injury remains unclear.

On bench Sunday Gerbet (concussion) is on the bench for Sunday's visit to Cincinnati.

Impact Gerbet missed one game due to the issue and could bounce back as a substitute in the final regular-season matchups. The midfielder may not have a lot of upside in his current role, with passes and defensive stats usually making up most of his production. Still, he'll aim to take a starting spot from either Kyle Smith or Eduard Atuesta at some point.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Not in squad Saturday Gerbet is sidelined for Saturday's clash against Nashville due to concussion protocol, Mike Gramajo of WESH 2 News reports.

Impact Gerbet will be out after making two consecutive starts as a central midfielder, with Kyle Smith and Eduard Atuesta making the starting lineup for now. The Frenchman has been a regular option when available, so this issue could be an important blow to the squad until he's available again.

Training Wednesday Gerbet (thigh) returned to training Wednesday, per Mike Gramajo of WESH.

Impact Gerbet was back in full training Wednesday, and is fit for a role during Saturday's clash with Kansas City. The midfielder has struggled with a bit of a lingering thigh issue, but has been close to a return in recent weeks. A full return to training and a clean bill of health means he could be integrated into the squad immediately. Prior to his injury Gerbet had started six of seven matches, so there's a good chance he earns a starting role quickly.

Remains out with thigh injury Gerbet (thigh) remains out due to injury, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Gerbet missed the last seven MLS games due to a thigh injury and will have to wait longer before returning to the pitch as he is out for Sunday's clash against Inter Miami. He resumed team training this week, which suggests the midfielder could be back for their next contest against Sporting Kansas City next Saturday.

Trains Friday Gerbet (strain) trained with the group Friday ahead of Sunday's match against Miami, according to Mike Gramajo of WESH 2 News.

Impact Gerbet has rejoined training after a battle with a strain, appearing to be in a good spot for Sunday's match. He has missed around a month and a half with the injury, so this is positive for the midfielder. However, he will likely need to pass some testing for Sunday's outing, possibly waiting another week for his return.

Could return Wednesday Gerbet (strain) could return for Wednesday's Leagues Cup clash with Necaxa, per manager Oscar Pareja.

Impact Gerbet is nearly recovered from the muscle issue that sidelined him ahead of the Leagues Cup break. The midfielder was a consistent piece of the starting XI prior to the injury, and could return to a sizeable role. If he can't go Wednesday, he could return for a Sunday clash with Miami in MLS action.

Dealt tightness Gerbet is dealing with muscle tightness and is questionable for Wednesday's match against St. Louis City, according to manager Oscar Pareja, per Mike Gramajo of WESH 2 News.

Impact Gerbet looks to be a late call for Wednesday's match after suffering from some muscle tightness this week. This will leave him subjected to testing ahead of the match, with that deciding if he can play. He has started in their past three games, so this could force a change, with Cesar Araujo as a possible replacement.

JUNE 23 • ROTOWIRE

Delivers assist in draw Gerbet assisted once to go with one chance created in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus New England Revolution.

Impact Gerbet caught the opposing defense off their line with a quick touch that led to Martin Ojeda's second goal of the match in the 33rd minute. The defensive midfielder also won a penalty kick for his team with one of his two fouls drawn during the game. He was directly involved in the score sheet for the first time this year. After recovering from a leg injury that forced him to miss two contests, Gerbet now appears to have an edge in the competition for playing time with Kyle Smith.

MAY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Starts Saturday Gerbet (lower leg) is in the initial lineup in Saturday's game versus New England Revolution.

Impact Gerbet should feature as a central midfielder in his comeback from a two-match injury absence, with Kyle Smith consequently dropping to a substitute role. The Frenchman is reliable mostly for passes and tackles in his current position, assuming he can play the full 90 minutes as he did in each of his last three league starts.

MAY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed questionable Gerbet (lower leg) is questionable for Saturday's clash with New England, per the MLS injury report.

Impact Gerbet was added to the injury report with a lower leg injury and is questionable for Saturday's match. The midfielder has missed two matches in a row, but started the three prior to that. Gerbet would likely return to the bench even if deemed fit.
