Marco Pasalic - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Eight crosses Tuesday Pasalic had two shots (one on goal), eight crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 1-0 win versus Panama.

Impact Pasalic was heavily involved in Croatia's attack Tuesday, providing a team-high eight crosses in the victory. He only created one chance despite that volume, an early Luka Modric header that didn't threaten the goal. He had a wonderful opporuntity to score himself in the 57th minute as he was one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but his chip shot attempt was easily saved by Orlando Mosquera and then he hit the ball over the woodwork on the rebound attempt. After a busy appearance, he was subbed off in the 72nd minute for Luka Sucic. Given his creative output it would not be surprising if he started again in the final group stage match versus Ghana on Saturday, a side which has not allowed a goal through two matches.

On bench Wednesday Pasalic (thigh) is on the bench for Wednesday's contest against Philadelphia Union.

Impact Pasalic could return to action midweek after being back in full training prior to this match. Still, it remains to be seen how many minutes he'll play in what would be his first appearance since April 12. The attacker, who has scored twice across seven MLS games in 2026, may be used either on the right wing or in a central spot, competing with Griffin Dorsey and Justin Ellis, respectively.

Fully training Pasalic (thigh) is back in full training and could be an option again soon, according to Mike Gramajo of WESH 2 News.

Impact Pasalic has been nearing a return the past few weeks, but is further along this week than he has been thus far, with the forward earning a spot in full training. This is good news, as the forward should be fit ahead of the World Cup break. The question remains how much time he will get once back on the team sheet after a month-long absence.

Moves to questionable Pasalic (thigh) is questionable for Saturday's match against Montreal, per the MLS Player Status Report.

Impact Pasalic has improved from out to questionable this matchday, which is an encouraging step after multiple matchdays sidelined with the thigh issue. He's a creative midfielder who contributes in fantasy when featuring regularly, and his potential return would be a boost for Orlando's midfield options. Once he gets a few matches under his belt, a starting role will be expected.

Receiving treatment in Europe Pasalic (thigh) is currently in Europe receiving treatment for his injury and is expected to return in a couple of weeks, according to Alonso El Inca of Area Sports Network.

Impact Pasalic has been sidelined after missing Orlando City's clash against Houston Dynamo, snapping a run of seven consecutive MLS starts to begin the season. His trip to Europe for treatment underlines the club's commitment to getting him fully right before rushing him back, and a two-week timeline puts his return in early May. Zakaria Taifi has been covering at right wing-back in his absence with Tyrese Spicer seeing more time in attack, and the pair will need to continue holding things down until Pasalic is back up to full speed.

Doesn't train Tuesday Pasalic (leg) remained absent from Tuesday's training session due to his injury, Orlando City's digital content manager Austin David reports.

Impact Pasalic could remain out with the issue that forced him to miss last weekend's meeting with Houston Dynamo, which marked his first absence of the year following a string of seven MLS starts. Therefore, his injury could continue to impact the team's offensive power going forward. During the last game without him, Orlando deployed Zakaria Taifi as a right wing-back, while Tyrese Spicer featured in attack.

Out with leg issue Pasalic is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Houston Dynamo because of leg tightness, with the severity of the problem yet to be assessed, per reporter Austin David.

Impact Pasalic is a last-minute absence for the eighth MLS game week of 2026 after being heavily involved in all of the previous matchups. Over those seven appearances, he had scored two goals while taking occasional corner kicks. Rookie Zakaria Taifi has been deployed on the right wing and could continue to get opportunities if Pasalic is forced to miss more time.

Quiet outing in loss Pasalic took two shots (off target), sent in two crosses, and created one chance in Saturday's 5-0 loss at Nashville.

Impact Nashville's defense didn't allow Orlando much room to operate, keeping Pasalic in check for most of the match. The attacker has one goal and one assist through five appearances, and he'll need to be locked in if Orlando is to go toe-to-toe on the road with LAFC on Saturday, April 4.

Impact Pasalic, who was returning from a one game absence for international duties, collected one assist in Orlando's final regular season match. With the playoffs up next for his squad he will need to step up offensively if they want to make a deep run. While he continues to be a focal point of their offense, Pasalic has just one goal and one assist in his last seven matches.
