Leonardo Barroso - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Unused sub, past lower body issue Barroso was an unused substitute in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Miami, though his inclusion in the squad suggests he has moved past his lower body issue, the club posted.

Impact Barroso had been sidelined since April 12, and finding a spot on the bench after his lower body issues is an encouraging sign that his recovery is complete. He previously contributed five shots, 11 crosses, nine clearances and seven tackles across seven MLS starts before the injury, and his path back into the starting lineup, likely at right back, will be one to track over the coming matches.

Working in gym Barroso (lower body) was in the gym Tuesday while he continued to make progress in his recovery from injury, Joe Chatz of On Tap Sports reports.

Impact Barroso has been sidelined April 12 and could now be targeting a return after the World Cup break. The wide player operated as a right-back at the beginning of the season, but that spot is likely to be filled by Jonathan Dean for at least one more game. Prior to the issue, Barroso racked up five shots, 11 crosses, nine clearances and seven tackles in seven MLS starts.

Remains sidelined Barroso (lower body) has yet to make a complete recovery and is ruled out for the time being, per coach Gregg Berhalter "Leo is still out as well".

Impact Barroso is struggling to overcome a problem which has kept him out of action since mid-April, leaving his team without its starting right-back of the early stages of the campaign. The young defender will be unlikely to see action until he increases his workload in training, so Jonathan Dean should feature in his place in the next few matches. Prior to the injury, Barroso had served as an occasional defensive contributor, racking up nine clearances, seven tackles and three clean sheets over seven MLS games.

Not training Thursday Barroso was absent from regular work in Thursday's practice due to an undisclosed issue, Joe Chatz of On Tap Sports reports.

Impact Barroso left last weekend's game versus Atlanta in the 68th minute after potentially suffering an injury. That was the right-back's seventh consecutive league start, so him being unavailable would be a significant blow to the squad. While his status is uncertain, his place could be taken by either Jonathan Dean or Dylan Borso in the next contests if the problem is serious.

Starts Saturday Barroso (ankle) is in the starting XI for Saturday's matchup versus D.C. United.

Impact Barroso didn't miss any game despite leaving the last match against Columbus in the first half. He'll likely feature as a right-back, limiting Dylan Borso's involvement going forward. The fit-again player has recorded two shots (two on goal), five crosses (two accurate), four tackles and two clearances over 208 minutes on the field so far in 2026.

Trains with team Barroso (ankle) is back in team training ahead of Saturday's match against D.C. United, according to Joe Chatz of On Tap Sports.

Impact Barroso was off injuured last match, but it appears to be only a minor injury, with the midfielder back on the training pitch midweek. He does look to be fit and will likely be an option moving forward, starting in all three games to open the season.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Subs off injured against Columbus Barroso left the field with an ankle discomfort during Saturday's trip to Columbus Crew.

Impact Barroso asked to be assisted after getting hurt in the first half of his third start of the season. With Jonathan Dean suspended for Saturday's match, youngster Dylan Borso replaced Barroso on the right flank. The Portuguese had previously recorded 90 minutes in each of his last two starts, contributing mostly through defensive stats. If the issue forced him to miss upcoming action, his place will likely be taken by Dean, who was the team's right-back last year.

Plays in friendly Barroso started the second half of a preseason friendly, according to his club.

Impact Barosso was out for much of the end of the last season as he dealt with injuries, but he is back in the team for preseason play, earning some time in a friendly. He had 11 starts in 19 appearances in his opening campaign with the club, recording one goal and an assist. That said, a starting role could be waiting to begin the season, looking to break onto the scene more after he was limited by injuries.

Still not training Barroso (lower body) was not in training Tuesday, according to Joe Chatz of On Tap Sports.

Impact Barroso's playoff chances took a hit Tuesday, as he was not involved in training ahead of Wednesday's playoff game. That said, the defender appears to be out for the match, unlikely to make the call after his absence from training. This could end his season after a campaign full of injuries, with Jonathan Dean likely to continue on the right flank if Barroso is out.

Impact Barroso is sidelined for Saturday's clash due to a lower body issue. This is an issue he picked up late in the season and it now officially ends his regular season. There's a chance Barroso could return for the playoffs, though there's no timeline for his exact return date.

Forced off in win Barroso suffered an undisclosed injury in Saturday's 2-0 win over Columbus Crew.

Impact Barroso had a quiet 50-minute outing but abandoned the pitch with a knock Saturday. The defender featured in a more advanced role on the right flank this time, and his place was covered by Jonathan Dean after his exit. That could be the likeliest change in the starting lineup if Barroso is ruled out of the next visit to Inter Miami. However, the extent of the situation is still unclear.

Substitute option Saturday Barroso (lower body) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Minnesota United.

Impact Barroso has resumed training after spending a couple of weeks on the sidelines and is now eligible as a potential backup for Jonathan Dean. After this game, both right-backs will remain in contention, with Barroso looking to regain momentum in the final stretch of the regular season.
