Out 3-4 months after surgery Taskiris will remain unavailable for at least three months following surgery to repair a right groin problem, Brian Sciaretta of American Soccer Now reports.

Impact Tsakiris has been outstanding in the 2026 season, which is already his best year in terms of offensive production with two goals and four assists over 11 matches played. Therefore, his absence will be a huge blow in San Jose's lineup while also leaving them without their top set-piece taker. The young prospect will be sidelined until after the World Cup break and perhaps a few more weeks. If Timo Werner (hamstring) is not back before Tsakiris, Ousseni Bouda and Nick Fernandez will be the main beneficiaries in terms of playing time.

Attempts 21 crosses Tsakiris had one shot (zero on goal), 21 crosses (six accurate) and 15 corners in Saturday's 3-0 win against Sporting Kansas City.

Impact 2025 was a lost year for Tsakiris, who barely logged more than 10 appearances during last year's MLS season. Looking for a far better output in 2026, he wasted little time getting off the ground. In his 11-game 2025, Tsakiris logged 22 crosses, and he was only one short of tying the tally for Saturday's game against Sporting Kansas City. Even more impressively, his six accurate crosses this weekend are more than last season's four, meaning he was more impactful in only one game.
