Set for absence with toe injury Gressel will likely miss various months after having surgery on his toe Monday and could be back until after the FIFA World Cup, Andy Greder of the Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Gressel was used as a substitute in the first three games of the 2026 MLS season, so losing him impacts the midfield depth of a struggling squad. The versatile man will likely remain out for several weeks, with James Rodriguez, Joaquin Pereyra and Bongokuhle Hlongwane taking on bigger roles in the meantime.

Provides assist in win Gressel assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Wednesday's 3-1 victory versus Houston Dynamo.

Impact Gressel led his team with six crosses as he benefited from set-piece tasks, but it was a low pass in the 70th minute that earned him an assist against Dynamo. He has now made three consecutive starts on the right side of a five-man back line, generating 13 crosses (four accurate), eight chances created and 10 clearances during that period. Considering the entire season, he has scored one goal and an assist throughout nine appearances.

Creates four chances in loss Gressel registered five crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 4-2 loss to San Diego FC.

Impact Gressel was rather active as a right wing-back, and the fact that he took corner kicks from the opposite flank boosted his playmaking numbers against San Diego. The four chances created and six clearances were season-high tallies for him, showing that he's capable of producing on both ends of the field. However, he's still looking for his second goal or first assist of the year after eight matches played (four starts) in league activity.

Scores as substitute Gressel scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-0 win against St. Louis City SC.

Impact Gressel subbed on in the second half and scored his first goal in the season to seal Minnesota's home win. The midifelder logged his fourth appearance (one start) since joining the club in late April.

Starts, attempts seven crosses Gressel recorded one shot (zero on goal), seven crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 2-0 loss against Houston Dynamo.

Impact For the Minnesota club, Wednesday includes Gressel's first start. If his history showcases anything, it is that he is cross-reliable. 2024 includes Gressel's 54 corners, 44 chances created and 37 accurate crosses for at least a part of nine assists also logged then.

Claimed off waivers Gressel has been claimed off waivers and is joining Minnesota from Miami, according to his new club.

Impact Gressel is making a switch of clubs just after the deadline, with the midfielder having been claimed off waivers to join Minnesota. He will join the club until December 2026, with an option for the 2027 season. He is a veteran with plenty of MLS experience, most recently appearing in 32 games (31 starts) with Miami while notching one goal and nine assists during the 2024 season. That said, he will hope to return to a starting spot with his new club, although the midfielder will likely have to work into that role and see more rotational time to start.

Whips in six crosses Gressel registered one shot (one on goal), six crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus Atlanta United.

Impact Gressel has a somewhat quiet match against Atlanta but still managed to whip in a decent amount of crosses, notching six in the draw. However, this does mark his fourth straight appearance without a clean sheet after notching one five matches in a row before the drought. He will hope to bag another assist soon, being just one off of double digits.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Registers seven crosses Gressel registered two shots (one on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-1 win against Chicago Fire.

Impact Gressel had a decent match after whipping in seven crosses, giving him his sixth game this season with six or more crosses. He also tacked on three shots and three chances created, boasting a solid day in the attack. He still has only missed one start all season, one of the rare everyday starters for Miami this campaign.

JULY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Prolongs streak of assists Gressel logged one assist with his two crosses (one accurate) and one corner during Inter Miami's 3-1 win Wednesday against Toronto FC.

Impact Lionel Messi (ankle) being out Wednesday resulted in Gressel being Inter Miami's free-kick taker then. One of the German's free kicks was an accurate lob headed in for a goal by Federico Redondo. As a result, Gressel has logged an assist during each of Miami's five games since June 19. An assist against the Fire on Saturday would prolong his streak to six. And with Messi unavailable then, Gressel has much more of a legitimate chance to be Miami's primary playmaker and continue the hot form.
