JANUARY 3 • MLSSOCCER.COM

Riqui Puig - Set to undergo another surgery Puig (knee) will undergo knee surgery prior to the 2026 MLS season, Tom Bogert of The Athletic reports.

Impact Puig could miss a second straight full season after being absent throughout 2025 due to an ACL tear he picked up during the final stages of the 2024 campaign. This is a massive blow for him and the club, considering that he was one of the most consistent attacking contributors in the entire league, and losing him made a big difference for a side that went from winning the title to finishing 26th in the competition without him. All of Diego Fagundez, Gabriel Pec and Marco Reus (thigh) are still on the roster and could cover some of Puig's playmaking tasks.

Maya Yoshida - Leader in backline Yoshida scored two goals and logged in 2,345 minutes in 28 MLS appearances in 2025.

Impact Yoshida took on an even larger leadership role in 2025, becoming the main source of stability for a team that faced more defensive pressure than during his MLS run in 2024. He improved his impact on set pieces and continued to organize the backline with intelligence and composure. His experience was crucial in navigating a season with more inconsistency around him, and he remained one of the Galaxy's most reliable performers, starting 26 of his 28 appearances and contributing 23 tackles, 29 interceptions and 133 clearances. Even in a tougher collective context, Yoshida proved in 2025 that he is still a dependable defender after his third season at the club and that he will hold a similar role heading into the 2026 season.

NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Zanka - Decent first season in LA Zanka provided one assist and logged in 1,349 minutes in 17 MLS appearances in 2025.

Impact Zanka started 16 of his 17 appearances this season in the MLS as a solid third center-back in the rotation and contributed with 27 tackles, 11 interceptions and 76 clearances. He is expected to hold a similar role heading into the 2026 season with the Galaxy.

NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Miki Yamane - Solid figure in backline Yamane scored one goal and provided four assists in 31 MLS appearances in 2025.

Impact Yamane remained a solid figure in the backline for LA Galaxy in 2025 although he started a lot fewer games and the team failed to rediscover his quality from 2024. The right back contributed five goal contributions, the same as his first MLS season, and was decent at the back, totaling 55 tackles, 36 interceptions and 76 clearances in 31 appearances. Yamane is expected to remain an undisputed starter heading into the 2026 season with the Galaxy.

Joseph Paintsil - Withdraws from Ghana squad Paintsil (undisclosed) seems to still be dealing with the injury he suffered in the last MLS regular season game against Minnesota since he was withdrawn from the Ghana squad, coac...

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.

NOVEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

The playmaker recorded six goals and two assists along with 26 shots, 51 chances created, 98 crosses and 62 corners in 32 appearances. It remains to be seen if Fagundez will stay at LA Galaxy for 2026 as the club and player are still in talks about potentially extending his contract.

Brady Scott - Inks new contract Scott signed a new contract with LA Galaxy through 2026 with an option for 2027, the club announced.

Impact Scott has yet to make his first appearance with LA Galaxy in MLS as he remains only a backup option for the goalkeeper role. That said, Scott played a decent number of games with the reserves in recent seasons, and this new contract shows the confidence the club has in him.

NOVEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Christian Ramirez - Re-signs with LA Galaxy Ramirez has re-signed with LA Galaxy, the club announced.

Impact Ramirez is guaranteed to remain with LA Galaxy through 2026 after extending his stay at the club. The forward made 25 appearances this season, starting 10 of them, and scored four goals along with one assist. Ramirez started the season as an undisputed starter in the frontline before losing his spot, which saw his goal contribution decline considerably since he found zero goal contributions off the bench since his status change in May.

NOVEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
