Ryan Sailor - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Busy defensively in draw Sailor had two tackles (zero won) and five clearances in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus FC Cincinnati. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 38th minute.

Impact Sailor started in the middle of Seattle's makeshift back line and played the full match, receiving his booking in the 38th minute after fouling Barlow. The five clearances were a solid return for the veteran defender, but since Seattle have struggled defensively all year long, don't expect Sailor to carry a ton of upside outside of a few favorable matchups going forward.

Makes Sounders debut Sailor made his first appearance with Seattle in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Toluca, according to the club.

Impact Sailor had been sidelined since October with a series of injuries, gradually working his way back through MLS Next Pro appearances before this return to the first team. His debut marks the culmination of that recovery process, and his workload should continue to build as he pushes for regular minutes behind starters Kim Kee-Hee and Stuart Hawkins.

On bench to face Timbers Sailor (knee) is among the substitutes for Saturday's meeting with Portland Timbers.

Impact Sailor could make his 2026 season debut after overcoming a series of injuries that sidelined him since October. Having already made a couple of appearances at the MLS Next Pro level, the center-back will likely see a gradual return to MLS action as a backup option for Saturday's starters Kim Kee-Hee and Stuart Hawkins.

Out with hamstring Sailor (hamstring) is out for Thursday's match against Portland.

Impact Sailor is not yet an option after he was added to the injury report with a hamstring injury, as the defender is out to face their rivals. He is yet to appear this season as he continues to deal with injuries, hoping he can return soon, after he was questionable heading into Thursday.

JULY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Late call for Wednesday Sailor is questionable for Thursday's match against Portland due to a hamstring injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.

Impact Sailor had been in and out of the questionable column earlier in the season with knee and hamstring issues and has returned post-break with a hamstring concern. He's a younger fullback without established fantasy relevance, but his questionable status is notable given how many other Seattle players are already ruled out. With six teammates listed as out, Seattle's defensive options from the bench remain low if Sailor is out.

Training separately Sailor (knee) worked apart from the rest of the team during Tuesday's practice, per Niko Moreno of Pulso Sports.

Impact Sailor has been inactive since October as he continues to work on his recovery from a significant injury. The defender can't be expected to see a lot of minutes until after the World Cup break, but he could at least aim to resume full training in upcoming weeks. Both Jackson Ragen and Alexander Roldan will likely stay put in central defense in the short term.

MAY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Sailor (knee) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Sailor has been unable to shake the knee issue that had kept him on the injury report despite being upgraded to questionable heading into the weekend, with the coaching staff deciding against including him in the squad for Saturday's clash. The younger fullback has limited fantasy appeal at this stage of his development, so his continued absence is unlikely to significantly impact the side's plans in the immediate term. His situation will be monitored in the coming days as the club hopes the upgrade to questionable this week proves to be a step toward a return to full availability shortly.

MAY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Late call for Saturday Sailor is listed as questionable for Saturday's match against Dallas with a knee injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.

Impact Sailor is ais still on the injury report with a knee issue, at least having been upgraded to questionable. He's a younger fullback without major fantasy upside at this stage. Even if he is fit, not much time may follow.

APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss another 3-4 weeks Sailor (knee) "is still three or four weeks away" from returning to action, coach Brian Schmetzer told reporters Thursday, per Jackson Felts of KJR radio.

Impact Sailor will likely have to sit out at least the next three MLS matchups before making his Sounders debut following a winter move from Inter Miami. The defender has recorded just 10 minutes of play over the last seven months, so his return to action might be a gradual one. Both Jackson Ragen and Antino Lopez are now expected to see increased action in Sailor's absence.

Remains without timetable Sailer (knee) remains without a timetable of return, per head coach Brian Schmetzer via Niko Moreno of Sounder at Heart.

Impact Sailor will remain on the shelf for the time being as there is no clear answer to his recover from his knee injury. He had minimal playing time last season with Inter Miami as well due to injury, appearing just five times in 2025, clocking in just 94 minutes of play.

Impact Sailor wasn't spotted in team training for the first day of the pre-season since he is currently dealing with a knee issue. That said, the new defensive addition of the Sounders is expected to be back available soon as the issue is only minor and will likely train with the team during the pre-season training camp in Portugal.

Impact Sailor is set to return to Miami after his contract option was picked up yet again. He's a depth option at best for the club, making nine appearances in 2024 and 8 in 2023. The defender will be back for 2025, likely in a minimal role once more.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returning for another season Sailor will return to Inter Miami after his contact was exercised for the 2024 campaign.

Impact Sailor was used as just a depth option, making just two starts in eight appearances this season. He also recorded minimum stats as the defender is expected to drop even lower in the depth chart for the 2024 campaign.
