Needs surgery on ACL Molino will undergo surgery on his right ACL and is expected to be out for nine to 12 months.

Impact Molino was a major acquisition in the offseason as a free agent, but he's only scored one goal in 11 appearances (seven starts) in 2021 before going down with one of many injuries to have plagued his career. In his place, Luis Diaz will need to play more on the right wing down the stretch of what has been a tough season for the Crew, and Molino will hope to return either early into the 2022 campaign or by late-Summer.

Creates chance in loss Molino created a chance and won one of two tackles in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against Atlanta United.

Impact Molino was limited in attack by Atlanta on Saturday and his side slumped to a defeat. He will try to bounce back next weekend against Chicago, which are 13th in the Eastern Conference.

Finally scores goal Molino scored one goal with two shots (one on goal) during a 4-2 loss Wednesday versus D.C. United.

Impact Molino logged his first goal across 2021. Though nearly four months of the 2021 Major League season passed, Molino's unimpressive scoring tally is attributed more to injuries and national team call-ups. Those should be considered when viewing his upside.

Leader in crosses, chances created Molino took an off target shot, crossed five times (one accurate) and created two chances during Friday's 4-1 loss to NYCFC.

Impact Molino was held off the scoresheet but was one of the better members of the Crew going forward on Friday. The wide man took just one shot but finished with team-high totals in crosses and chances created in the loss.

Goes full 90 in win Molino had one chance created and one tackle won in Saturday's 1-0 win against Atlanta.

Impact Molino went the full 90 Saturday, his first of the season because of Gold Cup duty and a prior injury. He's yet to fully make a mark at Columbus and while he went the entire way last match, the return of Luis Diaz could change how the Crew's XI looks in future matches.

Returns to club team Molino returned to his club side after the completion of his Gold Cup duties, according to Patrick Murphy of Massive Report.

Impact Molino has only made three appearances for the Crew this season as injuries and national team obligations have limited his minutes. As long as he's fit for the rest of the season, expect him to get plenty of starting chances given the promise on offer dating back to his 13 goals scored in 2020.

With national team Molino has already joined the Trinidad and Tobago national team ahead of the Gold Cup, according to Patrick Murphy of Massive Report.

Impact Molino should miss much of July while he's helping his national team during the summer competition. A fit Luis Diaz (knee) would help to fill the gap left by Molino, though other absences mean new options will need to be tried in the attack.

Makes seasons debut Molino logged 20 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 2-0 win over Chicago.

Impact Molino was a big-money signing from Minnesota United in the offseason but a hamstring injury pushed back his debut for the Crew until late June. Now that he's played a little during a competitive match, it wouldn't be surprising to see Molino starting in the near future and pushing Derrick Etienne to the right wing. At the same time, Pedro Santos will likely keep starting at left-back and compete for attacking chances when Milton Valenzuela (thigh) returns.

Could return Saturday Molino (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's match against Chicago, according to Jacob Myers of the Columbus Dispatch.

Impact Molino still hasn't made his MLS debut for Columbus, but he seems likely to make his estimated return date of mid-June if he can return Saturday. With Luis Diaz (knee) also questionable to play, Molino could get a start in his first match, though playing a full 90 minutes may be tough.

Looking to mid-June return Molino (hamstring) is getting "closer and closer", and manager Caleb Porter told the media that the June 19 match against Chicago is the targeted date for his return.

Impact Molino has yet to play this season after picking up a hamstring injury and is now anticipated to return in a month. His career has been riddled by injuries but the 13 goals he scored in 22 games last season is enough to make him worthwhile if he's fully fit for the rest of the campaign.
