GAME LOG

Two goal contributions in return Paintsil scored one goal and assisted once from three shots and two chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against FC Dallas.
Impact Paintsil leveled the match in first-half stoppage time of Saturday's 2-2 draw at Dallas, marking his first MLS appearance since early March after a four-game absence with a hamstring injury, ripping a top-corner finish under the bar past Michael Collodi after getting on the end of Gabriel Pec's defense-splitting pass. He had already set the tone earlier, delivering the assist on the Galaxy's first goal just five minutes prior when Lucas Sanabria found the net to spark the comeback before halftime. Paintsil was electric in his limited first-half run and a constant attacking threat before LA shifted into a more conservative approach after the break, finishing with one goal, one assist, three shots and two chances created in 73 minutes.

Impact Paintsil had been sidelined for over a month with a hamstring injury he picked up in the third game of the MLS season, making his return a welcome development for the Galaxy heading into the coming fixtures. Erik Thommy and Lucas Sanabria had been splitting time on the left flank during his absence, but Paintsil should push to regain a starting role in the coming games as he builds his match sharpness back up.

Impact Paintsil is not fully fit yet following a month on the sidelines due to a muscular issue he picked up in the third game of the MLS season. With little chance of featuring in the next couple of league games, the attacker could be expected to make a gradual comeback before being able to regain a starting spot. Both Erik Thommy and Lucas Sanabria have been used on the left flank in his absence and could continue to split playing time until the injured player is back in action.

Remains out Paintsil (hamstring) is still sidelined for Saturday's match against Minnesota and is expected to resume training in the subsequent week, Alex Ruiz of The Galactic Tribune reports.
Impact Paintsil will miss a third consecutive MLS game after suffering the injury during a March 7 clash with Colorado. While the forward could soon increase his workload and be ready to play later in April, it's still unclear when he'll regain his starting spot. Until then, both Gabriel Pec and Erik Thommy should see increased action on the wings.

Impact Paintsil was forced off in Saturday's match against the Colorado Rapids with what is now believed to be a minor hamstring issue. Still, it will likely leave him out for some time, dealing a blow to a Galaxy attack that will also be without the opposite winger Gabriel Pec (suspension) against Sporting Kansas City. This situation could lead to increased action for Erik Thommy and Mauricio Cuevas.

Suffers injury versus Colorado Paintsil subbed off after picking up a non-contact issue during Saturday's loss to Colorado Rapids, according to Corner of the Galaxy.
Impact Paintsil will need to be assessed as there's concern that he'll be forced to miss upcoming games. Such event would leave the team without their starting left winger of the first three games of the season, with Erik Thommy and Mauricio Cuevas offering the closest alternatives to cover his role. The Ghanaian recorded only one goal over five games played across all competitions prior to this issue.

Impact Paintsil is dealing with a knock or simply requires rest and is therefore ruled out of his international duty with Ghana. The forward suffered an injury during the last MLS regular season game one month ago and is maybe still dealing with that issue which rules him out for the international break. Paintsil will have plenty of time to recover during the MLS break to be back available for the 2026 season fully fit for the Galaxy.

Goal before injury Paintsil was injured and subbed out in the 89th minute of Saturday's 2-1 victory against Minnesota United. He scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) before exiting the...
Impact Even though Paintsil needed the entire 2025 MLS season, it will include his double-digit goals. Unfortunately for him, an undisclosed injury took him out just one minute before he could log a full 90. In 25 appearances (22 starts) this season, Paintsil logged 12 G/A via 10 goals and two assists. Though the G/A is a significant downgrade from his 22 last season, he can be somewhat forgiven for his injury-caused fewer appearances, which were 34 a year ago.
