Ousseni Bouda - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Back from international duty Bouda was spotted back in team training Wednesday following his return from international duty with Burkina Faso, putting him in contention for Saturday's clash against Colorado.

Impact Bouda appears to be back in the mix after missing the clash against Portland while representing Burkina Faso, with his return to team training an encouraging sign ahead of Saturday's matchup. The forward has enjoyed a career-best campaign with six goals and one assist across 26 appearances, establishing himself as an important piece of San Jose's attack. He will now be in contention to reclaim his starting role up front, with Preston Judd having been in line to lead the attack during his absence.

Called up by Burkina Faso Bouda will miss Saturday's clash against Portland due to his call up to Burkina Faso's squad, returning for the match against Colorado on October 10, according to the club.

Impact Bouda has recorded a career high six goals and one assist across 26 appearances this season, and Preston Judd is set to start as the number nine in his absence, with Bouda looking to add to his 16 caps and two goals for Burkina Faso across the upcoming AFCON qualifiers and a friendly against Argentina.

Takes four shots in loss Bouda registered four shots (two on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-0 defeat versus Orlando City SC.

JULY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Sends in 22 crosses in loss Bouda recorded one shot (zero on goal), 22 crosses (three accurate) and 11 corners in Saturday's 3-2 loss versus FC Dallas.

Impact Bouda's heavy crossing output Saturday stemmed from both his dead-ball responsibilities and his advanced positioning down the right flank. While he can't be expected to log that many deliveries in every game, he could remain active in a playmaking role with his team needing to redistribute set-piece duties as the main taker Niko Tsakiris (groin) faces a long absence period. In any case, the wide player remains with five goals and one assist over 14 matches in the current MLS campaign.

Impact Bouda made history as the first player in MLS this season to beat Hugo Lloris, finding the net in the 53rd minute off Timo Werner's assist to snap the French keeper's season-opening shutout streak before adding another in the 80th minute off Niko Tsakiris' feed to cap off San Jose's dominant road win. He wrapped up the night with two goals and four shots, including three on target, across the full 90 minutes, finishing the Earthquakes' first two clear-cut chances of the second half with sharp, clinical precision in the box. Bouda now sits on four goals through eight MLS appearances and is quickly emerging as one of the Western Conference's most dangerous attacking weapons.

Impact Bouda and the Earthquakes are hot to start the year. His goal Saturday gave him two in three appearances to start the year and San Jose moved to 3-0. While he may not score every game, it is nice to see the offense that was missing last year when he only had two goals all season. He will look to make it three games in a row with a goal on Sunday versus Seattle.

Impact Bouda returned a ball to Cristian Espinoza for the 24th-minute goal that doubled the lead Saturday. The forward then made the score sheet himself via right-footed touch in front of the near post in the 88th minute of the game. He's now an interesting attacking option after taking advantage of an unusual start in Josef Martinez's (lower body) absence, although it's unclear whether that situation will occur again in the next fixtures.

Usually a reserve forward not used to make major statistical impact, Bouda will hope this goal in the season opener is a sign of better things to come for him.
