LA Galaxy Star Riqui Puig Undergoes ACL Surgery, Will Miss 2026 MLS Season

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.

Ramping up training Puig (knee) is slowly ramping up his training, manager Greg Vanney told reporters Thursday.

Impact Puig's season is still over, but he's at least ramping up his recovery. The midfielder missed the entire season with a knee injury after an MVP-caliber season in 2024. It's been a disaster of a campaign on the whole for the Galaxy without their talisman in midfield. Puig is targeting a full return for opening day 2026 as the Galaxy look to get back in the playoff hunt.
