Paul Rothrock - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Plays three minutes off bench Rothrock (hamstring) recorded no stats in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Rothrock made his first appearance since Sept. 13 after spending nearly two months on the sidelines with a hamstring problem. The forward had recently been removed from Seattle's injury report but remained unavailable for the previous encounter against Vancouver, delaying his return to competitive action. His brief involvement against LAFC represents an encouraging step in his recovery, although he has yet to regain significant match fitness following his extended absence.

Removed from injury report Rothrock (hamstring) is no longer listed as an injury absence on the MLS Player Status Report.

Impact Rothrock will look to regain match form in time for the initial knockout rounds if the Sounders qualify for the playoffs. After being sidelined for almost two months, the attacker could slowly push for a significant role in place of Jordan Morris or Jesus Ferreira on the flanks. Prior to the injury, Rothrock contributed five goals and one assist, the former of which still stands tied for the second-highest figure on the squad.

Set for extended absence Rothrock will be sidelined for around eight to 10 weeks with a severe hamstring injury that has affected his tendon, according to manager Brian Schmetzer.

Impact Rothrock picked up the injury against the Galaxy on Sept. 13 and will likely miss the rest of the 2026 MLS season. Even in the best-case scenario, Rothrock would be in line to return to action in mid-November, and the regular season ends Nov. 7. With the Sounders on the verge of being eliminated from playoff contention, Rothrock is likely to be back on the pitch for preseason in the winter of 2027 unless he surpasses even the most optimistic projections about his recovery.
