Ryan Gauld - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Scores in return to starting lineup Gauld scored one goal to go with five shots (four on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 3-0 victory versus Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Gauld was on fire in this match, scoring while putting most of his shots on target. He's likely to get a goal or two if he maintains that level of accuracy against Austin FC, a side which has given up 43 goals in MLS play this season.

Five crosses in away victory Gauld had two shots (zero on goal), five crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 3-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Gauld helped his side to a 3-0 victory as he took five crosses of which three were successful and three corners. In the seven games since returning to action, he has scored two goals, both coming in the same game and has already become the joint highest set piece taker of the season.

Misses out on goal or assist Gauld registered two shots (one on goal), nine crosses (three accurate) and eight corners in Saturday's 5-0 victory versus FC Dallas.

Impact Gauld did just about everything despite not scoring or assist on any of Vancouver's five goals. He was a service machine while also putting up a couple shots, and he should come away with more if he puts up similar production numbers against Sporting Kansas City. Sporting KC has allowed a whopping 49 goals across 20 MLS matches this season.

Impact Gauld was Vancouver's most active creative presence, delivering eight corners and 12 crosses, though just two found a teammate, while firing three shots without forcing a save from Hugo Lloris in an otherwise dominant Whitecaps performance. He also picked up a late yellow card and remained Vancouver's go-to threat from dead-ball situations throughout the match. Gauld has produced two goals, nine shots, two chances created and 11 corners in three appearances since returning from his long-term injury, steadily rebuilding his rhythm and momentum as he works his way back to his best as a DP.

Impact Gauld's multi-goal return is exactly the kind of performance Vancouver hoped for after his lengthy knee injury layoff, and it marks his first multi-goal game since the 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs. He tallied at least 17 goal contributions in three straight seasons before the injury derailed him, and this showing suggests he could quickly return to that level of production as Vancouver looks to build on its position atop the Western Conference.

Impact Gauld's return marks his first game action since being sidelined for the opening months of the calendar year, and the managed approach suggests Vancouver is being cautious rather than rushing him back to a full workload. He is expected to regain his spot as an undisputed starter once he builds up to full match fitness, giving the Whitecaps attack a significant boost once he is ready for a complete 90 minutes. Until then, expect his minutes to be gradually increased over the coming matches as he continues working toward a return to the regular lineup.

Impact Gauld is now targeting a return after the World Cup break after seeing no action over the first five months of the calendar year. His eventual comeback could strengthen a Whitecaps attack that is now without Emmanuel Sabbi (groin) and may turn to Kenji Cabrera and Cheikh Tidiane Sabaly on the wings in the short term.

Increases workload Gauld (knee) took part in more than partial training during Monday's session, Har Journalist of Equalizer Soccer reports.

Impact Gauld appears to be close to returning to normal work, though he has missed all MLS action in 2026 so far and may not see significant action before the World Cup break. The attacker will aim to add a solid option in the rotation for the final half of the season, eventually challenging Cheikh Tidiane Sabaly, Thomas Muller and Emmanuel Sabbi for playing time.

Integrates to partial training Gauld (knee) has begun partial training with Vancouver on Friday, per Har Journalist of the Daily Hive Vancouver.

Impact Gauld is very close to making a return to the pitch as he starts partial training with the team. A return Saturday is not out of of the question, but it does seem close since the midfielder just started training. A realistic return can be later in the month, with the last match before the World Cup brake on May 23 vs San Diego.

Keeping up with recovery program Gauld (knee) is continuing his individual training as he works his way back to the pitch, reports Har Journalist of the Daily Hive Vancouver.

Impact Gauld is still working on his return to the pitch, as he is keeping up with his recovery program by alternating work on the grass and the pitch. His return this month is still not off the table, however the team continues to take his time following his post surgery recover on his knee back in January,

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Back on grass Gauld (knee) has been spotted training individually on the pitch for several consecutive days and is targeting a return in the coming weeks, according to SaritaReports.

Impact Gauld has been sidelined since January following arthroscopic debridement surgery on his left knee, but getting back outside and building up his sessions is a genuine step forward in his recovery. The plan is to get one more session in Thursday before assessing the next stage, with an April return increasingly realistic if everything continues to progress as planned. When he does come back, Gauld will likely ease into a rotational role behind Brian White, Thomas Muller and Rayan Elloumi rather than being thrown straight back into the starting lineup.

Uncertain to return after break Gauld (knee) is still working on his rehabilitation from knee surgery, and his potential return for an April 4 clash with Portland was mentioned by coach Jesper Sorensen on Friday....

Impact Gauld has missed the start of the 2026 season after undergoing arthroscopic debridement surgery on his left knee in January. The forward struggled with knee issues since last year, failing to produce at the high levels he achieved in the 2023 and 2024 seasons. He's still unlikely to play a significant role for a few weeks before re-entering the rotation with Brian White, Thomas Muller and Rayan Elloumi.

Impact Gauld returned from a serious knee issue in October but only saw limited action as a substitute in the final stretch of the year, failing to achieve an optimal recovery. His absence will represent a big loss for the team in the opening fixtures of the 2026 campaign, as they'll be without him in both MLS and CONCACAF Champions Cup action. All of Thomas Muller, Brian White and Rayan Elloumi could carry major offensive responsibilities in Gauld's absence.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Injury ridden year Gauld recorded three starts in 11 MLS appearances (including the playoffs) during the 2025 season.

Impact Gauld's season was derailed by a long-term knee injury that sidelined him for six months. He was unable to return as a starter, following a stellar 2024 season with 27 goal contributions. The midfielder faces an uphill battle to regain his starting position, which will depend on his fitness and form heading into 2026.
